Standby Power Generators

Standby Power Generators can help maintain your comfort and a relatively normal life during power outages by supplying a totally automatic backup power source to your home.

When the power from your utility company goes out, the standby power generator automatically turns on, whether you're home or not, and automatically shuts off when power is restored.

Home generators are permanently installed, and provide your home with automatic backup power during a power outage. Bundled with an automatic transfer switch, your home standby generator runs off of natural gas or liquid propane.
