Why More Northeast Ohio Homeowners Are Installing Backup Generators in 2025
From unexpected ice storms to aging infrastructure, Ohioans have faced a growing number of power outages in recent years. As a result, more homeowners in Akron, Cleveland, Medina, Canton, and surrounding areas are turning to standby generators as a reliable backup power solution.
The Reality of Outages in Northeast Ohio
According to recent data, power outages in Northeast Ohio have increased by over 30% since 2020. With weather extremes becoming more frequent and the electrical grid under strain, whole-home generators are no longer a luxury — they're a necessity.
What Is a Standby Generator?
Unlike portable units, standby generators automatically kick on when your home loses power. They're permanently installed outside your home and powered by natural gas or propane. Brands like Generac and Briggs & Stratton lead the industry in reliable solutions.
Top 3 Reasons to Install a Generator in Ohio
1. Protect Your Home: Prevent frozen pipes, flooded basements, and food spoilage during outages.
2. Keep Working from Home: Stay online and productive, even when the grid is down.
3. Increase Home Value: Backup power is a high-demand feature for modern buyers.

Persistent Power Outages in Northeast Ohio — Why Now Is the Time to Get a Generator
Northeast Ohio has seen significant power disruptions this summer. On Sunday, July 27, 2025, over 24,000 residents across Cuyahoga County—including Cleveland, Lakewood, and Rocky River—lost electricity during peak afternoon hours. Public outcry and regulatory investigation followed.
Why Are Outages So Frequent?
Older utility infrastructure struggling under seasonal heatwaves
Regulatory bodies like PUCO launching formal investigations into FirstEnergy’s grid reliability
Delayed repairs and longer restoration timelines during high-stress periods
What This Means for Homeowners
If thousands in your community are affected, your home could be next. Prolonged outages put:
Medical equipment users at risk
Food spoilage and HVAC shutdown during extreme weather
Security and comfort compromised when electricity drops
