Colon is in St. Joseph County in Southwest Michigan, a region of older city neighborhoods, lake cottages, orchards and farms.

Battery or generator?
Batteries are silent, automatic and need almost no maintenance, and they can recharge from solar. Their limit is capacity: a battery covers hours to a day or two of essentials, depending on its size and your loads. A standby generator runs as long as it has fuel. In parts of Michigan where multi-day winter outages are possible, some homeowners choose both. We will go through your loads and outage history in Colon and give you a straight recommendation.
