Why Generators Are Essential in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh’s terrain and older neighborhoods often mean overhead power lines — leaving homes more vulnerable to outages during storms. Suburbs like Monroeville, Bethel Park, and Moon Township also see extended outages in severe weather. A whole-home backup generator protects you whether you live in the heart of South Side, near PNC Park, or out by the airport corridor (15108).
