How Does A Home Backup Generator Work?
What to expect when you lose power
When problems occur, our home backup generators sense the power outage, turn on automatically, and immediately begin delivering backup power to your home. Your machine will run until utility power returns - whether that's two hours or two weeks.
These are the basic steps:
1. Utility Power Is Lost - Perhaps it's a storm. Maybe it's equipment failure. In any case, the electricity you depend on is suddenly gone.
2. Your Generator Senses A Problem - Within moments, your generator prepares to restore your home's power.
3. The Generator Turns On Automatically - Whether You’re Home Or Away
Within a few seconds, it is up to speed and generating electricity.
4. Your Electricity Is Restored - The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home. It will continue generating this power until normal utility power returns.
Call us before any major storm or expected power outage to perform maintenance and to make sure that your unit is running and transferring properly. Ensure that you have a MobileLink device installed so whether you are home or away, you will be able to monitor your generator 24/7.
