Power outages are increasingly dramatic in the United States. In fact, the five year annual average, has doubled every five years when it is calculated. So as you are calculating how much you will use your home generator, consider strongly that power outages here in Connecticut and New York are increasing due to: an aging power grid, more homes and more extreme weather events.  Without a standby home generator, what are the costs you are facing?

Don't Lose Your Food Due to Lack of Power

Without a standby home generator, costs from spoiled food add up fast.

The Cost of Property Damage

The Cost of Property Damage

Without a standby home generator, costs from property damages are catastrophic. For every outage, on average, homeowners pay $10,000 fixing frozen or burst pipes, $21,000 in flooded basement repairs, and $500-$30,000 for mold removal caused by water damage.

“Cannondale came out to fix my father’s generator and they did an amazing job for a great price! Another contractor didn’t even want to fix the generator and they told my dad it would cost $10,000 to replace it. Cannondale came out, replaced a few switches and got the generator back up and running for $700. Amazing service, fast response, I highly recommend them to anybody for the generator servicing needs.”

“Cannondale provided great service on our annual maintenance visit. The technician was quick and left the area neat. He told me what service he performed and I’m confident that we will be ready for the next power outage. I appreciate that the main office provides good communication in advance of service visits.”

Made installation of our generator extremely easy. Took care of all permitting with the town and made the process very simple. After a major power outage, they sent their service team in a snowstorm to service the generator and ensure it would keep us going throughout the snowstorm. Excellent service. Very pleased with this company.
