backup generators use advanced technology to keep power flowing to your home or business in case of a power outage. these systems are stationary, permanently installed devices that resemble an outdoor air conditioning unit. they run on a variety of fuels (natural gas or propane) and connect directly to your home's wiring.

if your home or business loses power, your generator will automatically kick in, powering parts of your home or even specific appliances based on the settings you have chosen. the generators we offer vary in capacity, from small generators that power a limited number of essential circuits and appliances to generators that can power every circuit in your home for extended periods of time. they shut off on their own when power is restored.
