Power outages are common in Barrie, Collingwood, and Simcoe County, often caused by winter ice storms, high winds, heavy snow, and freezing rain. These disruptions can lead to frozen pipes, flooded basements from failed sump pumps, spoiled food, and loss of heat or lighting.
That’s why many local homeowners choose the Generac 14kW Guardian Series standby generator, one of the most popular models we install at Affordable Comfort.
Automatic Operation: Power Restored in Seconds, even When You’re away
The Generac 14kW starts automatically within seconds of an outage, transferring power seamlessly via an automatic transfer switch.
For homes in Barrie and Collingwood, this means:
- Preventing frozen pipes during cold winter blackouts
- Keeping sump pumps running to avoid basement flooding
- Maintaining heat, lights, and essential appliances
- True peace of mind if you’re at the cottage, traveling, or away for work
Flexible Power for Various Home Sizes & Needs
Rated at 14kW (14,000 watts), this model powers essential circuits or more, including a 3-ton air conditioner, well pump, water heater, and main living areas. It supports 100-200 amp transfer switches and runs on natural gas or propane for unlimited fuel supply.
Its flexibility makes it ideal for typical homes in Simcoe County.
