Whole-Home Generators
A permanently installed generator may be a good option for properties that need broader backup coverage. Installation requirements and compatible electrical equipment should be reviewed as part of planning.
Portable Generator Transfer Systems
A properly designed manual transfer arrangement can serve selected loads with a compatible portable generator. Generator connections must be installed safely to prevent dangerous backfeeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
