The Home Standby Generator
Lets Life Go On!

The home standby generator lets life go on even if the power has failed. We tend to think of power outages as being the result of storm damage or power station overload, but power can be interrupted for a number of reasons. Power loss can be frustrating, expensive and even hazardous.

Reasons for power outages include animals causing transformers to blow, aging electrical systems, accidents, poor system maintenance, and of course, the overloads and storms. Even a random power loss can disrupt your life significantly and at today’s hectic pace the consequences can be severe.

The home standby generator is designed to supply clean efficient power within seconds of a power outage. The systems sold today, like Generac models, can detect a power outage within a mere 10 seconds. The system starts up quickly and before you can run for the flashlight your house is powered again.

Choosing the Generator

When choosing a generator, there are several major features to consider before buying a unit:

• Fuel source – the generator must be able to accommodate the fuel source in your area whether it is natural gas or propane

• Size – generator models are made to generate different wattages so you need to calculate your wattage needs to determine which size will work best

• Transfer switch – you can choose between whole house coverage, load shedding or only basic circuit coverage

Of course, you also want to choose a well built sturdy generator that can easily weather bad storms and resist corrosion. The generator needs to be reliable so that you can depend on it to work when it’s needed. There are no substitutes for backup power!

Maintenance Free Peace of Mind

Generators like those made by Generac are easy to maintain. Like any engine, you only have to periodically check oil and filters. But there is a feature on the Generac that makes it easy to check that the generator is working properly. Periodic checks give you the peace of mind that the system will work when you need it to work.

When your power is interrupted, the standby generator gets to work. The switch monitors the power supply and when power falls below pre-designated levels, your electrical system is automatically disconnected. At the time of disconnection, the generator is connected. The smooth transition from utility power to generator power is remarkable.

When your utility power is restored, the transfer switch detects the power and then shuts down the generator and returns the house to utility power. The disconnect and connect operation occurs in less than 10 to 15 seconds.

The home standby generator offer peace of mind. You know that you always have a power source ready no matter what caused the power outage! There’s no reason to ever sit in the dark wondering when utility power will be restored.
