Standby Generators

Many homeowners have started installing standby generators as a means of protecting their homes and families. They are most often installed right outside the home and are connected to the home’s electrical system. When a power outage occurs, a transfer switch turns on the generator, thereby supplying electricity without interruption.

Standby generators are recommended because of their ability to run every electrically-powered function and appliance in your home. These machines can produce quite a bit of electricity and do so at a moments notice. They can be run on gasoline, but the best ones are fueled by propane or natural gas.

Standby generators can be used to power your entire house, or just the essentials. You can save quite a bit of money by opting for those generators that only run the most basic items, as these are much less expensive. However, if you have the means, purchasing a generator that can power your entire home is usually preferred.
