Home Standby Generators

Don't let storms and bad weather leave you powerless. A home standby generator connects to your electrical panel and a natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP) line. These gas lines provide power when electricity is out. A backup generator for the home offers extra protection in an increasingly uncertain world.

GENERAC HOME STANDBY GENERATOR

Ensure your home is always ready for the unexpected with a Generac home standby generator. More than just keeping the lights on during power outages, these generators provide the security and peace of mind you need. Installed outside your home and powered by natural gas or liquid propane, Generac generators are your reliable solution to staying safe and comfortable, no matter what.

HOW HOME STANDBY GENERATOR WORKS

A home standby generator is essential in our increasingly power-reliant society, ensuring uninterrupted electricity during outages. This backup generator for home replicates the power output of utility grids using an internal combustion engine fueled by natural gas or propane. Briggs and Stratton offer models ranging from 13 kW to 26 kW, matched to home size and power needs. The generator automatically activates during power failures to maintain electricity flow, returning to utility power when restored. Infohub wireless monitoring enables remote tracking of generator status and maintenance needs, making it a smart investment for a reliable home power supply.

Engineer Supply offers many house generators to keep your home running during storms or outages. Power outages are unpredictable, so we need electricity for lights, cooking, and staying connected. Having a standby generator means your family can keep going, no matter the weather. It provides peace of mind and ensures your daily routine stays uninterrupted.
