The best way to ensure that you have power in your home when you need it is to purchase and install a Guardian generator in Elmhurst.
What is a standby generator all about?
Unlike a portable generator, a standby generator is designed to provide automatic power restoration in the event of a mains power failure. Standby generators produce reliable and stable power that is required by sensitive modern electronics such as computers. Standby generators can continue to operate for extended periods of time when they are fueled by LPG or natural gas. Regardless of whether you are at home or not, should there be a power failure your Guardian generator in Elmhurst will power up in a matter of seconds.
With a conventional portable generator it is necessary to run extension cords for the generator to the power consumers, when you install a standby generator there is no need to do this, nor is there a reason to keep a stock of gasoline on hand. In the event of a power outage, the electronics in the generator sense this immediately and it starts. Once the mains power returns, the generator senses this as well and it shuts down automatically, returning to standby mode ready for future demand.
The right size generator:
A Guardian generator in Elmhurst operates through a transfer switch; the switch has a specific number of circuits usually tied into the kW rating. Each circuit is directly connected to the appropriate circuit in the main panel of the home. Depending on what appliances, lighting, etc are important to you; standby generators are available in different ratings. The ratings are such that the homeowner can simply cover the essentials or he can purchase a large enough Guardian generator in Elmhurst to run the entire house.
