WAUKESHA, Wis., May 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac
(NYSE:GNRC) announced this week it will offer a free 10-year
extended warranty on the Company's Guardian-series home standby
generators to homeowners who prepare ahead for all types of weather
and non-weather related outages. Consumers must purchase by
June 23 to take advantage of the
offer.
Generac seeks to incentivize more homeowners to prepare for
outages after some reports have shown many homeowners are
completely unprepared for natural disasters, or the power outages
that come with them. The free extended warranty, a $995 value, is intended to encourage homeowners
to prioritize preparation.
"Every year, there are widespread power outages caused by storms
and utility failures," said Russ
Minick, Generac chief marketing officer. "This year, we're
offering customers an incentive to plan ahead for those outages. By
purchasing now, customers will get five additional years of
warranty coverage. But more importantly, if they act quickly, it's
likely their generator can be installed in time for the height of
the storm season."
Home standby generators sense utility failure and turn on
automatically in seconds to supply electricity to owners' homes.
"Home standby generators are a critical part of preparedness, but
require planning to be installed ahead of storms," said Minick.
Powered by natural gas or propane, home standby generators can
provide power as long as there is fuel available during extended
outages, and can power entire homes or specific circuits the owner
selects. In areas affected by hurricanes, outages can last days or
weeks, making a standby generator the best solution for long-term
backup power.
