Standby Generators

Be Ready for the Unexpected

Our energy delivery system is smart, safe and reliable. However, the unexpected can happen. To be ready for whatever the weather brings and other unexpected electric service interruptions, consider installing a natural gas standby generator. It can be a good choice for maintaining service reliability. Unlike portable units, a natural gas generator can automatically turn on within seconds- keeping you, your family, even the family pet comfortable.

How it Works

5.

The electric transfer switch will be connected to the new standby generator. A brief electric service interruption will occur.  No need to be home for this portion
