Why Install a Residential Standby Generator?

Standby generators are permanent installations that connect directly to your electric panel. “Standby” refers to the automatic transfer switch (ATS), which turns the generator on when power is lost and back off when service returns.

The greatest advantage of a standby system is its seamless activation, typically only taking seconds to transfer your power supply. You don't even have to be home to turn it on.

If you're away on business or vacation when an outage strikes, your home and belongings will be safe and sound. Homeowners living in an area with frequent power outages (common in the Greater River Valley area) benefit most from standby generator installation.

​

Top Benefits of a Permanent Standby Generator

​

Reliable Backup Power During Outages

A standby generator keeps your home running when the grid goes down. You can

configure your standby generator to power the whole home or just essential circuits.

Since whole-home power typically costs more, many homeowners choose to only

connect circuits housing their kitchen appliances, HVAC system and lighting.

 

Protects Your Electronics and Appliances

When power is restored after an outage, the resulting surge can damage circuits and

appliances. A standby generator acts as a middleman, smoothly switching back to

grid power without the risky voltage spike. The result is fewer fried circuits and

longer equipment life. When it is parried with a properly sized and installed whole

home surge protector, the it could help protect.

 

Keeps Home Offices Powered Interruption-Free

If you have a hybrid or work-from-home role, a stable power supply is a prerequisite for success. Standby generators activate within seconds of a detected outage. For sensitive internet-enabled tasks, consider pairing your system with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent data losses.

 

Boosts Property Value

Backup power is a premium home feature. With proper installation, experts

estimate a 3–5% increase in home value. In hard-to-sell markets, a standby power

generator can offer an extra point of leverage.

 

Customizable to Your Needs and Budget

Customize your installation with the generator size, fuel source and power output

that best meet your needs. Whether your goal is whole-home coverage or a more

cost-effective system for just a few key circuits, you have a wide variety of options

at your disposal.
