Standby Generator Benefits
There are two main types of backup generators: standby and portable. If your power goes out, you’ll have to break out the portable generator, gas it up, connect it, and start it manually. But a standby generator connects to your home or business and automatically turns on in a power outage.
Comfort and Safety
It’s never a good time for a power outage. Whether in a lightning storm or a blizzard, a standby backup generator can keep your HVAC unit, appliances, and electronics going strong for the ultimate in convenience and safety in even the worst conditions.
Convenience
A standby generator is the clear choice if you value convenience. If your power goes out, you don’t have to connect or turn anything on – the generator knows what to do. And unlike a portable generator, it’s got the output necessary to power everything in your home.
Reliability
Standby generators run on gas. They can go days or weeks on a whole-house propane tank or as long as needed on natural gas. A standby backup generator can vastly increase your peace of mind if you live in an area prone to outages or extreme weather.
