A home standby generator is a stand-alone device that provides an alternate source of electricity (off the grid) during a power outage. During emergencies, inclement weather, or natural disasters it allows you to continue using essential appliances such as air conditioners, heaters, refrigerators, as well as lights. Without too much technical speak, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy. The AC power generators for home use utilize small engines to produce mechanical energy. Since such a system includes an engine and a generator mounted together, a technical term for this appliance is an engine generator or genset.
Home generators can be stationary or portable. They run on a variety of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas (NG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Portable generators are an excellent choice for short-term emergencies. We are an authorized dealer and installer of Generac Generators.
