Never lose power again
Generac standby generators turn on by themselves within seconds of an outage and keep your lights, fridge, AC and medical equipment running. Sized, installed and permitted by a Generac Certified Installer.
Backup power that runs itself
A home standby generator is a permanent unit installed outside your home, connected to your natural gas or propane line and wired to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch.
Unlike a portable generator, there are no extension cords, no gasoline and nothing to wheel out in the dark. When the power goes out, from a storm, a Public Safety Power Shutoff or a grid problem, it starts on its own and keeps your home running until the power comes back.
- Keeps the fridge, lights, AC and Wi-Fi on
- Protects medical equipment and home offices
- Runs on natural gas or propane, no refueling
Automatic, from outage to restore
Power goes out
The automatic transfer switch senses the loss of utility power right away.
Generator starts
Your Generac starts on its own and takes over your home's circuits within seconds.
Power comes back
When the grid returns, the switch moves you back and the generator shuts down by itself.

Generators: common questions
How does a standby generator know the power went out?
An automatic transfer switch watches the utility power. When it drops, the switch starts the generator and moves your home's circuits over to it within seconds. When utility power returns, it switches back and the generator shuts itself off.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to keep running: a few essential circuits, or the whole house including AC. We list your appliances, check your panel and recommend a size, instead of guessing.
Can a generator power my whole house?
Yes, with the right size and setup. Many homes use load management so the generator can run the AC and big appliances without being oversized.
Does it need a permit?
Yes. Standby generators need a permit and must meet placement rules for distance from windows, doors and property lines. We handle the permit and inspection.
What fuel does it use?
Home standby generators run on natural gas or propane, so there's no gasoline to store or refill during an outage.
Do generators need maintenance?
Yes. A standby generator runs a short self-test on a schedule and needs periodic service like oil and filter changes. We can set you up so it's ready when you need it.
