What Is a Standby Generator?

A Tri-State standby generator is like having a power plant at your home. It is permanent and is installed outside your home by one of our licensed technicians. It comes on automatically when the power goes off, and automatically turns off as soon as power is restored. They run on propane or natural gas and can run just a couple of basics, or they can power your entire home.

Residential standby generators can help ensure that when a power outage occurs, you won’t have to worry about being in the dark. Did you know the average family loses power 5 times a year? While brief power outages are no big deal, extended outages can rob you of the things that make your house your home. With a home Tri-State standby generator, your power will kick back on in mere seconds after a power outage, keeping your lights, HVAC system, refrigerator, security system, medical equipment, and other electronic devices running.

Most power outages are caused by ice storms, thunderstorms and tornadoes. Equipment failure and damage caused by birds, other wildlife, trees, vegetation, and digging for underground lines also cause a significant number of outages. These losses can range from minor inconveniences to huge headaches. Want to know what size generator is right for you? Call our generator hotline at 888-577-7147. It will take you directly to a generator specialist who will answer all your questions and set up your free site evaluation or contact us through our online form.
