Keep The Lights On Like most Americans, you’ve probably been living, learning and working from home more than ever, which means you need power all day long - for your HVAC system to your internet connection and, of course, your lights.

vere weather and power grid failures, you’re not alone - more people today are considering ways to keep their homes powered, no matter what happens. Thinking about getting a generator to help protect your home’s power in case of an outage or severe weather? Here’s what you need to know about whole home generators. How home generators work If you get a standby generator for your home, the unit is permanently installed and connected to your natural gas line or liquid propane fuel source, along with an automatic transfer switch. When the system senses that your utility power is offline, the automatic transfer switch seamlessly shifts your selected electrical circuits and appliances to standby generator power. You don’t have to go outside or do anything with the generator. It’s set up to work automatically, within seconds, night or day - whether you’re home, or awake, or not. Are standby generators different from portable generators? Simply put, portable generators lack the power capability of standby home generators, and they do not turn on automatically. Portable generators are not permanently installed, and they always have to be manually started and set up. They typically run on gasoline and must be refueled every few hours to keep operating. In short, portable generators offer several benefits for uses beyond the home, but they’re not an ideal solution during power outages.
