Hello and thank you for being here. My name is Mykola, and I’m the CEO of Myrodash - a Philadelphian company dedicated to delivering safe, modern, and reliable electrical solutions. Over the past decade, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners and businesses prepare for the unexpected. One solution that’s rapidly growing in demand? Backup generators.
Whether you live in a city condo or a rural home, extreme weather events, grid instability, and rising energy needs have made reliable backup power no longer a luxury - but a necessity. Here are five key reasons why more Philadelphians are choosing to install generators in 2025, and why you should seriously consider it too.
1. Power Outages Are Becoming More Frequent
In 2024 alone, Philadelphia saw a record number of outages due to storms, wildfires, and equipment failures. Blackouts can now last anywhere from a few hours to multiple days - affecting heating, cooling, food storage, and essential devices.
With a standby generator, your home or business can automatically switch to backup power within seconds of an outage. No interruption. No stress.
2. Extreme Weather Is the New Normal
From freezing winter storms in Ontario to wildfire seasons in British Columbia, unpredictable weather has become routine. Generators provide peace of mind when nature doesn’t cooperate.
In emergency situations, a generator can:
- Keep your sump pump running to prevent basement flooding
- Maintain heating or cooling systems during temperature extremes
- Ensure medical equipment continues operating safely
3. Generators Protect Your Home Investment
Think of a generator as insurance for your electrical system. It safeguards your home from electrical surges when the power comes back on and helps avoid damage to your appliances, HVAC units, or sensitive electronics.
More importantly, homes equipped with modern backup power solutions are more attractive on the resale market. Buyers see them as prepared, future-conscious properties.
4. Home Offices and Remote Work Depend on Uptime
With millions of Philadelphians working remotely, power reliability is now directly linked to productivity and income. A sudden outage could mean missing a client meeting, corrupting files, or losing hours of work.
Installing a generator keeps your internet, lighting, computers, and devices online when it matters most.
5. Today’s Generators Are Smarter, Quieter, and More Efficient
Modern generator systems are nothing like the loud, unreliable machines of the past. In 2025, our clients are installing:
- Automatic Standby Generators – Installed permanently, these detect outages and start automatically.
- Inverter Generators – Compact, fuel-efficient, and ideal for sensitive electronics or RV use.
- Solar-Integrated Systems – For eco-conscious homes, hybrid options now exist that combine solar with battery + generator backup.
Many models also offer Wi-Fi control, noise-reducing technology, and longer runtimes with lower fuel consumption.
