The correct size depends on the size of your home, the electrical loads you want to power, and your overall energy usage. We can help determine the best option during a consultation.

How long does installation take?

Most residential standby generator installations are completed over one to several days, depending on the project scope and any required coordination with other trades.

Do standby generators run automatically?

Yes. Once installed, a standby generator monitors utility power and starts automatically during an outage.

What fuel do standby generators use?

Many residential standby generators operate on natural gas or propane.
