Common Questions About Generators

  • This depends on the fuel source and consumption rate. Standby generators connected to natural gas lines can run indefinitely, as long as the gas supply is uninterrupted. Those powered by propane tanks can run for days, depending on the size of the tank and the electrical load.

  • We recommend a professional maintenance check at least once a year. This ensures the unit is in optimal working condition and ready to provide power when you need it most.

  • A portable generator must be manually started and connected to appliances with extension cords. A standby generator is permanently installed, automatically turns on within seconds of a power outage, and powers your home's circuits directly, without manual intervention.
