Power When You Need It Most

Home generators are designed to provide electricity in times of power shortages or malfunctions for a short duration of time. Home standby generators not only light up the house in case of power outages but also, depending on their capacity, provide power to run appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, furnaces, televisions, and heaters.

Stationary home generators require the service of a professional or a licensed Dane County electrical contractor for installation. The generators are connected to the home wiring system through an automatic transfer switch. Stationary generators come with an automatic power monitoring system. As soon as there is disruption in power, the generator automatically starts to provide power and switches off automatically after normal power is restored.

Tips in Choosing the Right Home Power Generator

Fuel Type

Consider whether you want a gas, propane, or diesel generator based on availability and your home's needs.

Tank Size

Check the tank size so you can gauge how many hours of operating time it can provide.

Portability

Choose a generator with wheels or a transport trailer if it isn't light enough to carry by hand.

Weather Protection

If positioning near windows, get one with a protected control panel shielded from rain, dust, and debris.

Outlets

Ensure you have enough outlets to handle everything you need, protected by a circuit breaker to prevent fire hazards.
