What is a Home Standby Generator?
A whole home generator, or home standby generator is an automatic backup electrical system that serves as your alternative power source in case of power outage or blackout. The device kicks in to power the household’s circuits when a power supply disruption from the utility source is sensed. It automatically shuts off when the electrical load is transferred back to the utility source as soon as the main power supply is restored. It is powered by either natural gas or propane.
What Are The Advantages Of A Home Generator?
Having a home generator system offers a range of benefits. First, it allows your household to remain well-lighted despite random power surge and interruption. Thus, you can conveniently carry out the essential routines at home that are impossible to accomplish in the absence of electricity.
Second, a home standby generator makes sure that the household systems that play crucial roles are powered and working well. This includes the HVAC system that keeps the household a comfortable place to dwell and the security system that prevents or monitors potential threats from intruders.
Third, having a home standard generator provides you with the peace of mind since this provides a stable backup power supply that automatically kicks in when needed and protects your electrical devices from the potential harm caused by sudden, continuous and frequent power fluctuations.
How Are Whole Home Generators Installed?
Generator installation is a “Do Not DIY” task. The system is made up of various components that are quite complicated to handle without experience. Instead, having this system installed requires the services of a professional and licensed electrical contractor such as Nicholls Electric.
Upon hiring our services, Nicholls Electric will immediately dispatch a team of trained personnel to assess the actual condition of the area where the device will be installed, come up with a comprehensive installation plan and a workable design that will be used in setting the system up.
How Does A Generator Work?
The main function of a home standby generator is to provide backup power for the household when the electricity derived from the utility company is cut off or becomes unavailable. To do this, the device is equipped with three basic components that include the following.
Engine
This is responsible for providing the needed power to various household systems that must always be powered. This includes systems like refrigeration, heater, HVAC and hot water.
Service Entrance Breaker
This component plays an important role in the entire system. It is in charge of protecting the circuit breaker, the internal breakers, generator and the transfer switch during the power transfer from the source to your generator and vice versa.
Transfer Switch
This component takes charge of the transfer power responsibilities from the utility source to the generator in case of blackout as well as reverting to the original power source when the power supply is restored. With proper installation, the generator is always ready to assume power production and distribution. Thus, you need not worry that your electrical devices will fail to deliver their respective roles in the event of a power outage.
