The problem

Why Des Moines homes need a whole-house generator

Derechos in summer, ice in winter. The power goes out, and everything that keeps your house safe stops at the same moment. A portable generator means standing in the storm with gas cans. A whole-house generator starts itself.

The sump pump stops when the rain starts

The storm that knocks the power out is the same storm filling your basement. The furnace and water heater sit right where the water goes.

Ice storms take the lines down for days

One iced-up limb on a line can mean days without power across the metro. A house loses heat fast below zero, and burst pipes are the expensive version of a cold night.

A full freezer, a home office, a medical device on the nightstand. Multi-day outages aren't rare here, and none of these wait well.
