  • A backup generator operates much like a car engine. Using mechanical energy, it converts fuel (gasoline, diesel, or natural gas) into electrical power using a heavy-duty, rechargeable battery.

    In a power outage, a home generator keeps your home safe and comfortable until power is restored. A generator can keep your refrigerator, freezer, sump pump, furnace, stove, lights, fans, and smaller electronics operational when you experience a power loss.

    Backup generators are essential to keep your home or business running in an emergency. From hurricanes to snowstorms and rolling blackouts to unexpected accidents, a dependable generator can help keep your family safe.
