Whole House Generators in
Knoxville, Tennessee

Like the rest of Tennessee, tornadoes can happen anytime, but they are much less frequent in Knoxville than in other parts of Tennessee — at least for now.  Signs point to shifting weather patterns that will bring increasingly volatile storms to East Tennessee. In December 2021, when tornadoes crippled Kentucky and touched down in Middle and West Tennessee, high winds knocked out power to 18,000 homes in Knoxville, putting meteorologists on alert.

If you live in Knoxville, you know that when the power goes out unexpectedly, it doesn’t take too long for your food, supplies, and peace of mind to run low – especially in severe weather. If you don’t have a backup home generator, your options are limited. You can wait for it to come back on — no cooking, no lights, no refrigeration, no HVAC, no TV, no phone chargers, no power for medical devices, and often no water.  Or you can use what’s left of your dwindling phone charge trying to locate an available hotel room or a kind-hearted friend with power to take you and your family in. That can be a gamble if the roads en route are blocked by ice, fallen trees, downed power lines, or traffic accidents.

While you can’t control the weather, you CAN avoid the worry, inconvenience, and insecurity that comes every time there’s a warning for severe weather that could potentially knock out power. Before the next season brings new power outage challenges,  you can explore an altogether better option—the peace of mind that comes with uninterrupted power from an automatic, whole home backup generator from Canter Power Solutions. 

Whether you live in Downtown Knoxville, over in Pigeon Forge, or in one of many nearby mountain communities, your lights and power are ON, even if all your neighbors’  homes are dark.  You can heat and cool your home, cook, wash dishes and clothes, bathe, charge your phones and computers and keep your refrigerated and frozen food safe.  You can provide a haven for family members, friends, or neighbors who don’t have power. And, if someone in your family counts on power to keep medicines cool or to power medical equipment, you are covered.

Your whole family can watch television, listen to music, read books, play games, and use computers and phones to stay in contact with your larger world. Instead of rationing candles and flashlights, you can stay up after dark doing what you want and need to do. With a Generac whole home backup generator, you can even select to run only certain appliances during a power outage if you prefer. The choice is 100% up to you. 

If you live in the Knoxville area,  you’ve experienced how quickly storms or power blackouts make life complicated and stressful.  School, work, and transportation schedules are disrupted.
