Benefits of a Home Standby Generator:

• Safety: It doesn’t require gasoline or power cords, reducing the risk of fire, CO poisoning and electrical shock.
• Convenience: It automatically restores power to critical systems, such as A/C, water, fridge/freezer or the entire house, even when you’re away, giving you peace of mind. If you’re home, you can continue doing activities like watching TV or working on a computer.
• Power: Its higher wattage ranges allow it to power more of your home for longer. With a properly sized whole-house generator, you can choose to power your entire home or only selected loads.
• Value: It’s an investment that proves its worth every time the power goes out and can increase the resale value of your home.
• Clean Power: It provides the cleanest power possible for sensitive electronics found in today’s homes such as TVs, computers.

Generators require periodic maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, to ensure maximum performance and reliable service. Scheduled maintenance kits are available, and authorized dealers offer annual maintenance contracts. We recommend service every six months by an authorized independent service dealer. Refer to your owner’s manual for routine maintenance procedures and schedules.

Every home is different, and so is every installation. The placement of the generator, the materials required and the installation of the natural gas or liquid propane fuel source mean installation costs vary. The best way to know the cost of generator installation is to get an in-home consultation. We’ll listen to your needs, assess your home and give you a detailed quote.

Although there are many projects around your home that you can do yourself, installing a home standby generator is a big job. It’s vital that it’s done correctly to eliminate the risk of a gas leak, electric shock and other hazards. Proper and safe installation of a generator takes many steps. You’ll need to acquire the appropriate building permits (where applicable), determine the right location for the standby generator and configure the automatic transfer switch properly. Not only do gas-powered generators require a propane tank or natural gas line connection, but they also need the correct valves for the type of gas you’ll be using. The certified dealer has the knowledge and experience to complete these steps and install your standby generator right the first time.

Each of the 4 major standby generator manufacturers have 5 to 7 limited warranties on their standby generators which include: parts, labor and travel.
