What is the Use of a Standby Generator?

Whenever there is a power cut in our house we always just call our electricity provider or they text us when the power is going to come back. This is our only way to deal with this problem. Usually, the electricity only goes for a couple of hours. But, what will you do when it goes out for more than a couple of hours? And the most important question is that what if the electricity cuts off in summer? And what if you have a patient in your house who is on a ventilator and is in a very serious condition? They will not be able to live if the electricity cuts off even for some time. Candle lights, playing cards, or board games are going to be fun for only some time but after that, you are going to get fed up with it. The food in your fridge is going to get worse and there will be no use for the oven, air-conditioners, lights, fans, etc. After a few hours, you will start praying for the electricity to come back. But, having a diesel generator or a standby generator in your home can rid you of this problem.
