How do generators work?

A home or residential standby generator system consists of two components: a standby generator unit and an automatic transfer switch. The two work in conjunction with your home to ensure that power is never lost, and it only takes seconds before the backup power generator kicks in.
​
A standby generator system and automatic transfer switch are professionally installed to your home’s existing wiring. This means your new backup generator works seamlessly with your home, to ensure protection.

The system is on constant standby and immediately senses when utility power stops flowing to your home, thus confirming a power outage. Within moments, the automatic transfer switch transfers your home’s electrical circuits and appliances to backup standby power. Once the generator system senses utility power is back up and running, your home will be  automatically transferred back to utility power and the standby generator is shut down until it’s needed again.

Choose Between Natural Gas & Liquid Propane Generators

Standby generator systems operate on either natural gas or liquid propane. Both natural gas and propane generators provide a seamless transition from utility to backup power. If your home is already equipped with one fuel or the other, it makes sense to use what’s already available.
