Home Standby Generator Systems
Standby generator systems incorporate a generator unit and an automatic transfer switch to supply power during unforeseen circumstances. We know you want your home up and operational as quickly as it can be, after all, it’s hard to manage not being able to use your washer and dryer along with every other appliance.
A home standby generator system is a two-pronged setup, comprising a standby generator unit and an automatic transfer switch. These components work in harmony with your home’s electrical system, ensuring that any power loss is swiftly countered, restoring your home’s comfort within moments.
At Bo’s Electric, we recognize that each home is unique and requires a tailored backup power solution. Factors such as property layout, service panel location, and the specific lights and appliances needing backup power all contribute to the customization of installing a standby generator system. We are committed to providing a seamless and stress-free installation experience for you.
The first step towards installing your whole home generator system involves an on-site visit to assess your home’s specific installation needs and identify any local permits required before commencement. We will inspect your electrical meter, gas lines, and circuit breaker panel location to determine the optimal placement for your generator unit and ascertain the wiring specifications your home will need. We will also discuss the fuel option that best suits your needs — natural gas or liquid propane.
