What Happens When You Don’t Have an Automatic Home Backup Power Generator in Orlando, Florida
If you live in Orlando, you enjoy the unique mix of big city living, suburban convenience, and natural habitats that Florida’s third-largest metro area has to offer. Located in the center of the Florida peninsula, Orlando sits on flat terrain, 40 miles from the Atlantic, 80 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and surrounded by lakes and wetlands – all of which add up to a subtropical climate with two seasons – hot and wet (May to October) or warm and drier (November to April).
You’ve learned how to take Orlando summers in stride. They can be swelteringly hot and humid, with almost daily thunderstorms that bring spectacular lightning, heavy rain (sometimes several inches per hour), powerful winds, and power outages. Winter is dry and mild with temperatures in the 60s, although you need to keep an eye out for our infrequent, short, cold fronts that sometimes set off tornado outbreaks.

The good news is that, compared to South Florida or the Panhandle, Orlando has a lower (but still real) hurricane risk. Because of its inland location, hurricanes generally weaken to tropical storms by the time they reach Orlando. But, if you’ve lived in Orlando for a decade or more, you’ve also experienced some of Florida’s worst hurricanes (Charley, Frances, Jeanne in 2004, Wilma in 2005, and Irma in 2017), along with their widespread and long-lasting power outages.
And while severe weather causes most of our major power outages, most days, somewhere in Greater Orlando, run-of-the-mill accidents, wildlife misadventure (think squirrels, snakes, and short circuits), or equipment failures disrupt electric service. Fortunately, once located, these can usually be resolved in 3-5 hours. But not always. We’ve all experienced seemingly unexplained power outages that can last all or part of a day. And, even 3-5 hours can stop you and your family in your tracks when you’re not prepared.
If you live in the Orlando area, you know that when your power goes out unexpectedly, it doesn’t take too long for food, supplies, and peace of mind to run low – particularly in severe weather or widespread outages.
If you don’t have an automatic backup home generator, your options are limited when the power goes out for any length of time. You can wait for it to come back on. That means no cooking, no lights, no refrigeration, no HVAC — especially brutal during Orlando’s hot, humid summers. There’s no TV, no phone chargers, no power for medical devices, and sometimes no running water. When outages are widespread, hunting down an available hotel room – or a kind-hearted friend with power who can take you in — can use up your dwindling phone battery charge. That can be a gamble if the roads en route to your destination are blocked by high water, fallen trees, downed power lines, or traffic accidents.
While you can’t control the weather, you CAN avoid a replay of the inconvenience, worry, and insecurity that comes every time there’s a severe weather alert or a power glitch that could mean losing electrical power in Orlando.
So, 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 Generac generator from Canter Power Systems.
When you’ve got a Backup Generator in Orlando, Florida
Now, think about how your life would change if you never had to worry about being without power service in Orlando – ever again. If the power goes out – for any reason – you can relax in the comfort and protection of your own home. Your life goes on as usual, even if power is out for an extended period.
Whether it’s a storm, an equipment failure, or a sunny day blip, your home backup generator turns itself on automatically, just 15 seconds after your home’s power goes off — and it stays on until utility service is restored. You don’t have to do anything.
If your power goes out while you’re not home, you don’t have to worry – even if you’re delayed. You may be inching your way home along West University Avenue or East Colonial Drive or stuck somewhere on I-4. No matter where you are, your Canter Power Generac generator will start up automatically and run everything that you count on in your house, just as if you were there.
Imagine this scenario next time the power goes off in Orlando
Whether you live in Downtown, Winter Park, or near Lake Nona, 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 your Canter Power Systems Generac whole home generator, you can even select to run only certain appliances during a power outage if you prefer. The choice is 100% up to you.
