FAQ - Generators in Gravenhurst
Questions we hear about generators in Gravenhurst.
- Up in Muskoka the short answer is usually yes if you have a well pump, septic pump, or a freezer full of food and the line goes down for two to five days every winter. In Hamilton and Burlington the case is weaker but still real - ice storms, summer thunderstorms, and aging grid infrastructure mean four-to-eight-hour outages a few times a year. We size to your actual load, not the maximum.
