Standby Generator FAQs
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home or building and is connected directly to your electrical system. When utility power fails, it automatically detects the outage and turns on within seconds, supplying power to your selected circuits or your entire property. When power is restored, it shuts itself off and returns to standby mode.
