Automatic Generator Installation
A whole house generator system, or automatic standby generator, is a back-up electrical system that starts automatically when your power goes out.
Generally, within 20 seconds of a utility outage, the standby generator kicks on and supplies electricity to essential circuits or even your entire main panel of your home or business. The standby generator is usually powered by natural gas or liquid propane, and it will shut off automatically once the utility power returns.
These generators run a weekly self-test to ensure reliability when you need it, and their operation in the event of a power outage will require no effort.
Which is the Right Emergency Back-up System for you?
Our technicians will evaluate your needs and your current electrical system to determine the best options for you. The automatic standby generator may be a good choice in these cases:
- You lose power often
- You desire ease and convenience from a generator system
- You’re in a rural, low-priority area where it takes longer for power to be restored.
- You have restricted mobility due to age or health concerns
- You rely on heat or refrigeration
Our technician will assist you in making this choice once he has a clear understanding of your critical and non-critical circuits choices Ask yourself these questions:
- What electrical devices/appliances do I use everyday?
- What devices could I live for a short time without?
Power can be out for a few hours but sometimes that outage lasts seven days or more depending on the storm and where you live. You’ll want to consider what would greatly impact your daily routine and what you could live without for a short time.
