Frequently Asked Questions

What is a whole-home standby generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, wired into your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch, and fueled by natural gas or propane. When utility power fails, it starts automatically within seconds and runs your home until the grid comes back.
How do I know what size standby generator I need?
Sizing depends on home square footage, climate, and which circuits you want to back up. Air-cooled units (typically 10–26kW) cover most homes; liquid-cooled (25kW+) suit larger homes or whole-home coverage with HVAC. Use our free 60-second sizing calculator to get a recommendation.
