Frequently Asked Questions
What size standby generator do I need?
Generator size depends on how much of your home you want to power.

Smaller systems (10–14 kW) typically support essential loads such as the furnace, sump pump, refrigerator, lighting, and select outlets.

Larger systems (20–26 kW and above) can often power most or all of an average home's electrical needs.

 
Do standby generators turn on automatically?
Yes. A standby generator continuously monitors utility power and automatically starts when an outage occurs. Most systems restore power within 10–15 seconds.

 
Can a standby generator run on my home's natural gas line?
Yes. Most standby generators connect directly to an existing natural gas service or liquid propane tank, providing continuous fuel during extended outages.

 
How long can a standby generator operate?
As long as fuel is available and routine maintenance has been performed, many standby generators are capable of running continuously for several days during extended outages.
