IMPORTANT
This product must be installed by a professional electrician familiar with residential or commercial electrical wiring and building codes. SIZING TIP Pick a transfer switch that matches your generator's most powerful outlet. If your generator has a 20-amp outlet, you'll need a 20-amp transfer switch. If you have a 30-amp outlet, you need a 30-amp switch. |
Standby Power vs. Portable Power
Why Standby Generators are a Superior Solution
Just a few years ago, the thought of owning an emergency standby generator seemed preposterous. Now, living without electricity is all too common.
Many homeowners simply cannot afford to ride out another power outage. Instead, they are installing home standby generators in record numbers to protect their families and investments.
The concept is really simple. Standby generators are permanently installed outside and operate just like a central air conditioner with two major differences.
Engine Instead of Motor
Air conditioners run off electric motors, which obviously won't work during an outage. Standby generators have engines instead.
The systems can be connected to your natural gas line or liquid propane tank and generate electricity as long as fuel is supplied.
Automatic Transfer Switches
Instead of using a thermostat, standby generators use an automatic transfer switch to monitor your utility power.
When it goes out, the automatic transfer switch turns on the generator - whether you're home or not - and automatically shuts it off when power is restored.
Unlike portable generators, standby generators operate automatically with no human intervention. No generators to move. No power cords to connect. No gas tanks to fill.
