Frequently Asked Questions
A Generac standby generator is a backup power solution that automatically turns on during power outages to provide electricity to your home or business. It operates on either natural gas or propane and is designed to keep essential appliances and systems running until the main power supply is restored.
Generac standby generators are equipped with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that continuously monitors the utility power supply. When it detects an interruption, the ATS activates the standby generator, which starts up within seconds. Once the utility power is restored, the generator automatically switches off and returns to standby mode.
The size of the Generac generator you need depends on your power requirements. It’s essential to calculate the total wattage of the appliances and systems you want to power during an outage. Generac offers a range of generator sizes, from small residential units to larger commercial models, to suit different needs.
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure your Generac generator functions optimally. We recommend scheduling one of our Generac authorized technicians perform maintenance at least once a year. This includes checking fuel levels, changing oil and filters, inspecting electrical connections, and testing the unit’s performance.
Generac standby generators should be installed by a licensed and certified electrician or Generac dealer such as Appomattox Propane Services. Proper installation is essential for safety and optimal performance. Attempting to install the generator yourself may void the warranty and could lead to potential safety hazards.
Yes, Generac standby generators are designed to withstand various weather conditions. They are built to be weather-resistant, protecting internal components from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. However, it’s essential to ensure proper clearance and ventilation during installation.
The runtime of a Generac standby generator depends on the size of the fuel tank and the generator’s load. Generac generators are engineered for efficient fuel consumption, and they can run for extended periods on a single tank of fuel, providing continuous backup power during prolonged outages.
