What Is a Whole-House Generator?
A whole-house generator, also called a standby generator, is a permanently installed system that automatically delivers power to your home during an outage. Unlike small portable units, a whole home generator is hardwired directly into your electrical panel and fueled by natural gas, propane, or diesel, ensuring continuous power without the need to refuel or set up manually.
When the utility power goes out, the generator detects the interruption and kicks on within seconds, powering essential systems like:
- Heating and cooling equipment
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Lighting and appliances
- Home office devices and electronics
With a properly sized whole-house generator, your entire home stays functional, safe, and comfortable, no matter how long the outage lasts.
