Home Backup Power 12kW Generator 13kW Generator

Written By: MJ Logan

A Single Home with Power Stands Alone in a Dark Neighborhood Power Outage
A single home with lights powered by a standby generator punctuates the darkness of a neighborhood-wide power outage.

12kW Generators and 13kW Generators for Home Backup supply power to small or mid-sized homes during a power outage. Home backup generators operate automatically with a permanent connection to the home through an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). Most homeowners choose a generator bundled with the ATS to save money and get the most from their generator. Some manufacturers offer several packages which allow homeowners to tailor the system to their budget, power needs, and lifestyle.
