How does a home generator work during a power outage?

A home generator with an automatic transfer switch detects when your main power goes out and immediately starts supplying electricity to your home, so you experience little to no interruption in power.

What size generator do I need for my home?

The size of the generator depends on the essential appliances and systems you want to power during an outage. We help evaluate your power needs to recommend a generator that fits your home and lifestyle.

Can a home generator power my entire house or just select circuits?

Depending on the generator size and installation, you can choose to power either your whole home or critical circuits such as refrigeration, heating/cooling, lighting, and medical equipment.

How often should my home generator be serviced?

Regular maintenance is essential for generator reliability. We recommend at least annual inspections and tune-ups to ensure your backup power system is ready when you need it.
