That depends on how much of your home you want to power. Some homeowners choose a whole-home standby generator, while others prefer a smaller system that powers only essential circuits.

Yes. Many standby generators are designed to automatically detect a power outage and turn on without manual setup.

Common home generator fuel sources include:
Natural gas
Propane
Some portable generators may use gasoline
The best fuel type depends on your home setup, utility access, and backup power goals.

How long does generator installation take?
Many generator installations can be completed in one to several days, depending on electrical work, permitting, fuel connections, and site preparation.
