HOW DOES A HOME GENERATOR WORK
The generator automatically detects a power outage and delivers backup power to your home within seconds. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re covered – the generator will keep your power running for as long as the power is out – whether that’s for two hours or two weeks.
- UTILITY POWER IS LOST: Maybe it’s a storm or an equipment failure. In any case, the electricity you’re dependent on is suddenly gone.
- YOUR GENERATOR SENSES A UTILITY POWER DISRUPTION: Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home’s power.
- YOUR GENERATOR AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON: Your generator is up to speed and generating electricity.
- YOUR ELECTRICITY: The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home and will continue providing power until your main power source returns.
- UTILITY POWER IS RESTORED: Your generator systems detects when utility power is returned and restores utility power to your home. The system then returns the generator to standby mode.
