Don't be left in the dark when that next storm hits! A whole house automatic standby generator hooks into your home's natural gas or LP supply, designed to power up automatically as soon as a power outage occurs. The smart technology can detect the outage immediately, it then initiates the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). The ATS simultaneously disconnects from the grid and activates backup power to supply electricity throughout your home/property almost instantly. Now, you have an adequate power supply for as long as needed. Once the power from the grid is restored, the system reverses the ATS and shuts down, patiently waiting until it's needed again.

Having an automatic standby generator installed in your home provides a wide range of benefits:

Interlock Systems

A Portable Generator Interlock installation allows you to safely energize your entire breaker panel. During the event of a power outage, your main circuit breaker is cut off while the panel is fed by a portable generator. You simply select the priority circuits and turn those breakers on (typically most of the lighting, the fridge, freezer, furnace, etc).

With the interlock system, we install an inlet box (usually on the wall adjacent to the panel) for you to plug your generator into. There is an option to include an optional utility power-back alert for portable generator interlocks, which, when power is restored, will give an audible signal that lets you know you can transfer power back to your regular utility source. The system is extremely easy to use, and we will show you how to fully operate it during the installation.
