FAQs
What to know about standby Generators
How does a standby generator work?
A standby generator automatically starts when your home's power goes out. An automatic transfer switch connects your home to generator power, even when you're away. When utility power returns, the system switches back automatically.
Can a standby generator power my entire home?
Yes, a properly sized standby generator can provide whole-home backup power. You can also choose a system that powers only essential circuits. Guth Electric helps you select a generator based on the appliances and equipment you want to run during an outage.
What fuel does a Generac standby generator use?
Generac home standby generators run on either natural gas or propane. They connect to your home's natural gas supply or a propane tank, so you don't need to refill a gasoline tank. Propane systems still need enough fuel in the tank to operate.
How much does standby generator installation cost?
The total cost depends on the generator size and the work needed to install it at your home. Guth Electric evaluates your backup power needs and installation requirements to provide an estimate for your Northfield or South Metro property for FREE.
How often does a standby generator need maintenance?
Maintenance timing depends on the generator model, hours of use, and operating conditions. Follow your owner's manual for required service. Guth Electric offers Generacs recommended twice-yearly preventive maintenance to help catch problems early and keep your generator ready for an outage.
