With a Generator, The Lights Never Have to Go Out
Just because the power goes out doesn’t mean the power has to go out. Well, not with a generator. With a potentially large storm coming our way yet again this coming weekend, it is always best to be prepared. The mid-Atlantic region is famous for its ice storms that bring down wires, coat our trees and keep the kids out of school. And once you factor in hurricanes, summer storms and tornadoes (ok this last one might be a stretch) you pretty much need a generator.
What does a generator buy you? Aside from providing light, heat and allowing you to keep the food in your fridge, it gives you peace of mind that when—not if—the power goes out, life can go on as usual.
Any generator worth its salt must be reliable, portable, quiet, easy to start and efficient. At Pete’s Cycle, we carry only the best in stock, which is why we carry the complete line of Honda and Yamaha generators. The Yamaha Inverter series beings at $879, while the Premium Series begins at $949, and those are for entry level generators. Hondas start and $799. The type of machine you need will obviously depend on your specific needs.
Jamey Kramar at Top Generator Reviews described it best when, in reviewing the Yamaha EF2000iS, he wrote “You won’t even know when this puppy is on.” No one, including your neighbors, wants a sputtering motor beside their bedroom. And if you want to step it up a notch, the Yamaha EF6300iSDE was named “Most Powerful Inverter Generator On The Market” (See Jamey’s review here). This machine has all the comforts of home, such as a push-button electric start, wireless remote, and it comes with a wheel-kit for easy portability. We carry both machines at Pete’s Cycles.
