Frequently Asked Questions

A standby generator automatically senses a power outage and starts within seconds. It uses an automatic transfer switch to disconnect you from the grid, supplies electricity to your critical circuits, and then returns to standby once utility power is restored.

Generator size is based on the combined wattage of essential circuits—like lighting, refrigeration, HVAC, security systems, or servers. We perform a detailed load calculation to recommend the right kW capacity so your system meets demand without unnecessary oversizing.

Runtime depends on your chosen fuel source. Natural gas generators can run indefinitely while the gas supply is active. Propane models run based on tank size—typically 24–48 hours on a standard home tank. We’ll help you select the fuel option that aligns with your backup power needs.

Most standby generator installations take 1–2 days, including site preparation, pad installation, wiring, and ATS hookup. Our licensed electricians work efficiently, protect landscaping, and clean up daily—minimizing disruption so you can return to normal quickly.
