Generator FAQ

How fast does a standby generator start after a power outage?

Most modern standby generators will detect a loss of utility power and have your home back under power in 10 to 20 seconds. You'll barely have time to find a flashlight.

Can a whole-home generator run my air conditioning?

Yes, provided the generator is sized correctly. We often use smart load management modules that allow large appliances like AC units to run without overloading the generator.

What fuel source does a standby generator use?

Standby generators typically run on Natural Gas or Liquid Propane (LP). We can help coordinate the fuel line installation with a local gas provider as part of the project.

How loud is a standby generator?

Modern units are remarkably quiet, typically producing about 65-70 decibels—similar to the sound of a central AC unit running. We also strategic location placement to minimize noise near bedrooms.
