Gulf Shores sits directly in the path of Gulf of Mexico hurricanes. Hurricane Sally made a direct hit on the Gulf Shores area in September 2020 with sustained winds of 105 mph and gusts over 130 mph. Tens of thousands of Baldwin County residents lost power, with many going without electricity for 7 to 10 days. Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was even more destructive, striking the area with 130 mph winds and causing catastrophic damage to the power grid across the entire coastal region.
These are not once-in-a-generation events. Baldwin County has been struck or significantly impacted by major hurricanes in 1979 (Frederick), 1992 (Andrew's outer bands), 1995 (Opal), 1998 (Georges), 2004 (Ivan), 2005 (Katrina), and 2020 (Sally). The question for Gulf Shores homeowners is not whether the power will go out — it is how long it will stay out and whether you will be prepared.
A whole home standby generator is the only reliable solution. Unlike a portable generator, a standby unit is permanently installed, runs on natural gas or propane, and starts automatically within seconds of a power outage. You never have to go outside in a storm to start it. You never run out of fuel. Your AC, refrigerator, medical equipment, security system, and well pump all keep running as if nothing happened.
Covers homes under 2,500 sq ft with standard appliances, one AC unit, and no well pump. Good for condos and smaller beach cottages.
Handles homes up to 4,000 sq ft with two AC units, a pool pump, or a well pump. The most common size for Gulf Shores single-family homes.
Full whole-home coverage for large homes, homes with multiple AC units, EV chargers, or commercial-grade appliances.
