Standby Generators
Just
a few years ago, the thought of
owning an emergency standby generator
seemed preposterous. Now, living
without electricity is all too common.
Many homeowners
simply cannot afford to ride out
another power outage. Instead,
they are installing home standby
generators in record numbers to
protect their families and investments.
The
concept is really simple. Standby
generators are permanently installed
outside and operate just like
a central air conditioner with
two major differences. Air conditioners
run off electric motors, which
obviously won't work during an
outage. Standby generators have
engines instead.
The systems
can be connected to your natural
gas line or liquid propane tank
and generate electricity as long
as fuel is supplied.
Automatic
Transfer Switches
Instead of using a thermostat,
standby generators use an automatic
transfer switch to monitor your
utility power.
When it
goes out, the automatic transfer
switch turns on the generator
- whether you're home or not -
and
automatically shuts it off when
power is restored.
Unlike
portable generators, standby generators
operate automatically with no
human intervention. No generators
to move. No power cords to connect.
No gas tanks to fill.
