When the Power Goes Out, Your Home Shouldn't Stop

Power outages can disrupt your life and leave you without essential comfort and safety. A standby generator keeps your home powered automatically when the grid goes down, giving you peace of mind with uninterrupted backup power.

How a Standby Generator Works

A home standby generator is permanently installed on your property and connected to either a natural gas utility line or liquid propane tank. The system includes a standby generator and an automatic transfer switch connected to your home's electrical panel. The transfer switch monitors utility power and, when it detects a power loss, automatically starts the generator and transfers your home to backup generator power in under 30 seconds.

Every home has different backup power needs. Joel Watsky Electric can help you review your home, fuel source, and the appliances or systems you want to power so you can choose the right standby generator solution.
