Holiday Discount on Generators at Yost & Campbell

With so much damage and disruption during Hurricane Sandy, many people are turning to automatic standby generators. Generac is one of the most respected manufacturers in the business and Yost & Campbell is a PowerPro dealer for Generac. Now through January 6th we are offering $500 off the purchase and installation of a whole house standby generator or 0% financing for one year.


It is estimated that eight million people were without power during the storm. For those who already owned, or were able to purchase, a portable generator in time, the long lines for gas made the use of the generator frustrating and tenuous at best. Unlike portable generators, residential automatic standby generators kick in 10 – 30 seconds after the power goes out, restoring whatever electrical circuits have been wired to the generator, and run on the home's natural gas line or through the use of propane, so no need to wait in line for gas or even go outside.


While it represents an investment in your home, many realtors indicate that having a standby generator not only increases the appeal of a home, but also enhances the home’s value. You could even give it as a holiday gift!

With the threat of similar storms in the coming months, homeowners who want to consider the installation of a standby generator, should determine which electronic equipment they would want to operate during a storm and what they can live without and then make an appointment to find out which generator would best suit their power needs. An average installation takes 1 – 2 days depending upon the size of the house and approximately two weeks to schedule an appointment for installation. Therefore those considering installation are encouraged to call long before they hear the weather report predicting another nor’easter.
