What Is a Standby Generator?
A standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system that automatically turns on when your electricity goes out.
Unlike portable generators, standby systems:
- Turn on within seconds of an outage
- Power your home or building safely through your electrical panel
- Run on natural gas or propane
- Require no manual setup during emergencies
Once utility power is restored, the generator automatically shuts off.
Generator Sizes & What You Need
Generators come in a range of sizes depending on how much power you need.
Residential Generator Sizes
- 8–12 kW → Essential circuits (lights, fridge, sump pump)
- 14–20 kW → Most homes (appliances, HVAC, well pump)
- 20+ kW → Whole-home coverage
Commercial Generator Sizes
- 20–50 kW → Small businesses, offices
- 50–150 kW → Restaurants, retail, multi-unit buildings
- 150+ kW → Large facilities, farms, industrial operations
We understand that it may be hard to plan out the generator size that will best serve your property during a power outage. We help you determine the right size based on your electrical load, building size, and critical systems.
