Installing Your Standby Generator

Installing Your Standby Generator is the next step after you receive your standby generator.  New installations of standby generators are happening in record numbers because people now know they simply cannot afford to “ride out” another power outage. 

An unexpected power outage can result in thousands of dollars in damage and a standby generator is your security hedge, a safe way to protect your family and investments.   Installing Your Standby Generator is an insurance policy for the future that you will be glad you made.

Engines and Automatic Transfer Switches

Installing Your Standby Generator is an outdoor installation.  An easy way to understand your standby generator is to think of it like a central air conditioner with which is shares many similarities and a few differences as follows:

• Standby generators are run with engines and air conditioners are run off of electric motors.   The fuel system on your standby generator can be connected to existing natural gas or LP lines and are operable as long as fuel is available.
• Standby generators use automatic transfer switches where air conditioners use a thermostat.  The automatic transfer switch will turn your generator on and off, as necessary, whether you are there or not.  The automatic transfer switch accomplishes this task by continuously monitoring your electrical current and determining whether the generator is needed, or not.

Three Important Installation Tips

The next step in Installing Your Standby Generator is the actual connection process.  There are three important areas to consider when Installing Your Standby Generator as follows:

• Always read and follow the instructional manual included with your standby generator. This manual contains important information on installation and operation of your standby generator and will ensure that you and your family are protected.
• Installing Your Stand Standby Generators is that much easier when you have the right advice.  Seek the advice of experts.  Our Standby Generator Specialist are extremely knowledgeable and fully-trained on all aspects of standby generator installation.  Give us a call any time, we are happy to offer the expert advice that you need.  1-510-490-2187 or 1-800-613-2290.
• When Installing Your Standby Generator, avoid back feed.  Back feed is a dangerous, electrical, current that can cause critical injury, even death.  Back feed occurs when a generator is improperly connected and electricity is "back fed" to the power lines.  These line are considered "hot lines" during an outage.  A correctly installed automatic transfer switch will prevent a back feed situation.  The automatic transfer switch closes and opens lines on an as needed basis.  A direct hook up also minimizes back feed.
