Frequently Asked Questions

What type of generator is best for my home?

The best choice depends on your power needs. Whole-home standby generators offer comprehensive coverage, while portable or smaller units may suffice for essential circuits only. A professional assessment can help determine the most suitable option.

How do I maintain my generator?

Regular maintenance includes checking oil and coolant levels, testing battery function, ensuring clean air filters, and running the generator periodically to verify it’s in good working order.

Can I install a generator myself?

Due to the complexity and safety concerns associated with generator installation, it’s highly recommended to have it done by a certified professional. Incorrect installation can lead to safety hazards and malfunction.

How often should a generator be serviced?

Generators should be serviced annually by a professional to ensure they remain reliable and ready to use when needed.

What is a generator-ready electrical panel?

A generator-ready electrical panel is designed to easily integrate with a generator system, facilitating a quick switch to generator power during outages. It ensures safe operation and optimal power distribution.

What should I do if my generator isn't starting?

If your generator fails to start, check for common issues like low fuel, battery failure, or clogged filters. If simple troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue, contact a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.

How long can a standby generator run continuously?

Standby generators can typically run continuously for several days, depending on the fuel supply. It's important to consult your generator's manual for specific run-time capabilities and to ensure proper maintenance for extended use during prolonged outages.
