Home Generators

An unexpected power outage can wreak havoc on your life and home. Without electricity, you may be unable to heat your home or cook for your family. You may be left without lights or modern convenience.  You may even lose the protective measures you rely on, such as security systems and sump pumps. Going without electricity long-term may even result in lasting damage to your home. Home generators can protect you against these potential damages.

Protection in Power Outages

An automatic standby generator is a backup electrical system that supplies electricity to your home whenever power is interrupted.  Whether you are at home or away, it protects you against the consequences that can result from loss of power. Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

Benefits of Home Generators

The benefits of an automatic standby generator include the following:

• They provide protection 24/7, whether you’re home or away, and they turn themselves off when utility power returns so there is no need to monitor the unit during an outage.
• They start automatically within seconds of a power outage, and eliminate the need to haul a portable generator outside or run extension cords throughout your home.
• With an automatic standby generator properly installed outside, your home is protected from deadly carbon monoxide poisoning that is a much greater risk with portable generators.
• Running on the home’s natural gas or LP fuel supply, it is less expensive to run than gasoline and does not need to be refilled.
