How a Whole-Home Generator Works

A standby generator is designed to restore power automatically when an outage occurs.

When the system detects a power loss, the transfer switch signals the generator to turn on within seconds. Power is then delivered to selected circuits or the entire home depending on system size.

Most systems run on natural gas or a propane standby generator setup, allowing continuous operation without manual refueling.

For full system options, whole home generator solutions provide coverage during outages.

Benefits of Installing a Standby Generator

• automatic backup power when outages occur
• protection for food, medical equipment, and comfort systems
• prevents sump pump failures and water damage
• avoids the need to leave home during extended outages
• improves preparedness during severe weather

Standby generators are designed to operate without manual setup, which makes them different from portable generators.

Portable vs Standby Generators - What's the Difference?

Portable generators require manual setup and refueling, while standby generators are permanently installed and operate automatically.

Portable units typically power limited circuits, while whole-home generator installation can support either essential systems or the entire home depending on sizing.

Portable systems are useful for short-term use, but standby systems provide consistent backup power for longer outages.
