What Is a Standby Generator?

A standby generator automatically provides electricity to your home or business in the event of a power outage. It is permanently installed and connects to a propane tank or natural gas line. When the power in your home or business goes out, a standby generator automatically turns on in a few seconds, and can operate for extended periods of time. Depending on the size you choose, a standby generator can provide enough power for your whole home or business to function regularly, or just a few major appliances like the stove and HVAC system.

Generac has various sizes of standby generators, so you’re sure to find one that fits your needs. If you’re unsure of how large a generator you’ll need, you can use Generac’s Generator Sizing Calculator to get a better idea of what you should be looking for.
