Overview

Power that comes back on by itself

An automatic standby generator is permanently installed outside the home and connected through a transfer switch. When the power goes out, the transfer switch disconnects your home from the grid, the generator starts and takes over the load, and when utility power returns it switches back on its own.

Getting the electrical side right is what makes that safe. The transfer switch keeps generator power from feeding back into the utility lines, and the wiring has to be sized for the load the generator will carry. Daniel handles that part to code, so the system does what it should when you need it.

Questions

Common questions about standby generators

How does an automatic standby generator work?

The generator is permanently installed and connected through an automatic transfer switch. When utility power fails, the switch disconnects your home from the grid and the generator starts and carries the load. When the power returns, the switch moves your home back to utility power on its own, with no cords or manual steps.

What size standby generator do I need?

That depends on what you want to keep running during an outage, from essential circuits only to most of the house. Daniel installs systems including the Generac 24 kW, and the right size for your home comes from looking at your loads before anything is quoted, not from a guess.

Why does a standby generator need a transfer switch?

A transfer switch keeps generator power and utility power separate. Without one, a generator can feed power back into the utility lines, which is dangerous for line workers and can damage equipment. A properly installed transfer switch is what allows a standby generator to be connected safely and to code.
