Following recent storms and widespread power outages across Central Ontario, many homeowners in Muskoka are taking proactive steps to protect their homes with automatic standby generators.

Extended power outages can affect more than just lighting. Critical household systems such as heating and cooling equipment, sump pumps, refrigerators, freezers, internet connectivity, and security systems can all be disrupted when utility power is lost. As a result, homeowners are increasingly investing in reliable backup power solutions to help keep their homes operating during severe weather events.


"We've seen a significant increase in interest from homeowners throughout Muskoka who want to be prepared before the next outage happens," said Doris, Residential Sales Manager for Kohler generators at Paramount Power Systems. "Many residents are looking for peace of mind and a dependable way to protect their homes, families, and property when the grid goes down."


Automatic standby generators are permanently installed outside the home and are designed to detect a power outage and start automatically within seconds. Depending on the system chosen, a generator can provide power to essential household circuits or support the entire home during an outage.


For seasonal residents, backup power offers additional protection for cottages and secondary properties that may be unoccupied for extended periods. A standby generator can help safeguard critical systems and reduce the risk of damage caused by prolonged power interruptions.


As extreme weather events continue to impact communities across Ontario, preparedness has become an important consideration for homeowners. Having a backup power solution installed before severe weather strikes can help minimise disruption and provide confidence when the unexpected occurs.


For more than 25 years, Paramount Power Systems has been helping Ontario homeowners and businesses stay powered through generator sales, professional installation, preventative maintenance, rentals, and 24/7 emergency service.
