How It Works
How Whole Home Generators Work
Here's how our standby power generators work during a sudden outage.
01
Your home loses power
Without warning, extreme weather or an equipment failure can trigger a power outage. The generator's automatic transfer switch senses the moment utility power is unavailable and sends notice to the generator.
02
Generator system activates
Powered by liquid propane or natural gas, your generator starts up automatically and restores power to your home or business within seconds. It is designed to kick in whether you are home or away, so you do not have to do a thing.
03
Home fully powered
The generator keeps producing electricity for as long as the outage lasts, so essentials like your heat, well pump, oxygen tank and security system stay running.
Utility power restored
When the transfer switch senses that stable utility power has returned, it switches your home back to the utility and your generator shuts down, ready for the next outage.
