How Does a Home Backup
Generator Work?
HOW IT WORKS
A Generac home backup generator senses a power outage, turns on automatically, and delivers backup power to your home. It will run until utility power returns – whether that’s in two hours or two weeks.
1. UTILITY POWER IS LOST
Perhaps it’s a storm. Maybe it’s an equipment failure. In any case, the electricity you depend on is suddenly gone.
2. YOUR GENERAC GENERATOR SENSES A PROBLEM
Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home’s power.
3. THE GENERATOR TURNS ON – AUTOMATICALLY – WHETHER YOU’RE HOME OR AWAY
Within a few seconds, it is up to speed and generating electricity.
4. YOUR ELECTRICITY – IS RESTORED
The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home. And it will continue until utility power returns.
