A standby generator is permanently installed outside the home and connected to the electrical system through an automatic transfer switch. When it detects a utility outage, it starts on its own, transfers the home to generator power, and switches back once utility power returns — typically without anyone having to be home.
Sizing depends on what you want to keep running and the electrical load of those systems. Some homeowners back up essentials like heat, well pump and refrigeration, while others power the entire home. A power assessment reviews your property and priorities to determine the appropriate size.
Yes. Whole-home standby systems can be sized to run essentially everything in a typical home, including heating and cooling. The right size depends on your total electrical load, which is reviewed during the assessment.
Yes. Well pumps are one of the most common systems homeowners want backed up, since an outage can otherwise mean no running water. Well pumps draw significant startup current, so they are factored into sizing.
Yes. A properly installed standby system starts automatically when it detects an outage and transfers your home to backup power without any manual steps.
Yes. Standby generators commonly run on propane or natural gas. Propane is a frequent choice for rural Northern Wisconsin properties that already have a propane tank on site.
