Let’s be honest, actually choosing something in itself can be one of the hardest things we have to face when making any important decision in life. Especially when a decision will ultimately provide safety, security and peace of mind that your home and lifestyle will be protected when a disaster strikes.
Electrical blackouts and power outages cause unexpected inconveniences that can be easily avoided with the purchase and installation of an automatic standby generator from the trusted professionals at Midwest Electric & Generator.
When there is a disruption in service, the automatic standby generator will sense the disruption automatically activating the generator’s safety switch. Before converting the generator’s power to the building’s electrical panel, the switch vigilantly checks that the generator is running safely. Either natural gas, liquid propane or diesel gas are used to run home standby generator’s internal combustion engine to help avoid any disruption of electrical power.
