Standby Generators

Automatic Standby Generators start moments after the power goes out. When an outage hits, backup generators detect the outage and begin supplying power within seconds to the home or business.

Backup Generators

Automatic Standby Generators start moments after the power goes out. When an outage hits, backup generators detect the outage and begin supplying power within seconds to the home or business.

Transfer to standby generator power is automatic. The Automatic Transfer Switch isolates the electrical system from the utility before it connects power from the home backup generator. Power outage to power restoration takes less than a minute, usually within 20-30 seconds. 

Norwall offers Standby Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch bundles that save money and simplify selection.

Home Standby Generators

Home Standby Generators are more powerful than ever. In the last few years, 26kW and 28kW models hit the market, blurring the lines between liquid-cooled commercial generators and air-cooled home standby generators. 

For most, an air-cooled standby generator for your home reliably powers large air conditioners, a heat pump, a well pump, and everything from medical devices to the home’s internet router. Never worry about refrigerators or freezers, staying warm in the winter or cool in the summer. Work in your home office, or enjoy the television and the safety of home lighting.

Larger homes require more power from higher-capacity liquid-cooled standby generators. The additional power in a hot climate can run multiple air-conditioners when temperatures climb into the triple digits.

The best home backup generators meet the needs of the home and family. Standby home generators range in capacity from 10kW to 28kW for air-cooled engines, and 15kW to 60 kilowatts or more for commercial generators.

Standby Generators for Business

Business shutdowns during an outage translate into lost revenue and productivity. A closed business may lose customers to another business that stays open during an outage—especially if the outage lasts more than a few hours.

A business with a standby generator remains open during an outage, often providing customers with products and services other businesses (the ones without a generator) cannot. 

 

Backup Generators for homes and businesses supply power when you need it most.

Standby Generators - FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

A. A standby generator is a backup power source for your home. It connects through an automatic transfer switch that governs the source of power to the home, and runs on your home existing natural gas or propane supply. When an outage hits, it typically takes less than 30 seconds for the generator to start and restore power.
A. Brand and capacity determine standby generator cost. A 10kW model might be half as much as the same brand's 26kW. Other factors include warranty coverage, brand popularity, and any accessories bundled with the generator.
A. Every installation is unique. Cost varies by region and installation requirements. Ideally, installing the generator close to electric and gas utility service helps reduce cost, but installation also requires following local codes and safety requirements like distances away from windows, doors, or vents.
A. Ideally, it is the generator that meets your family and home's electrical requirements during an outage without breaking your budget. Some homeowners want a large generator that mimics the electric utility service. Others want the most economical unit to for absolute necessities. Most homeowners opt for a whole house generator that falls somewhere between the most powerful and the minimum requirement.
