The Importance Of A Whole-Home Generator

A power outage can happen at any time, often without warning. And while the typical power outage doesn’t last for very long, the power can go out for several days in a row. Should that happen, it pays to be prepared.

A generator will help give you peace of mind when your home is without power. A whole-house automatic standby generator will provide you with power without interruption during natural disasters or extended power outages. Here in the Birmingham area, the larger trees and overhead power lines can be problematic during strong storms.

How a Generator Works

A generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Generators are used in various settings, from powering small appliances to large industrial operations.

There are two types of generators

Portable and Standby. Portable generators are small, typically gas-powered engines that can be used to power a few small appliances or tools. Standby generators are larger and must be installed by a professional. Standby generators are powered by natural gas or propane and kick on automatically when the power goes out.

The Benefits of a Whole-House Automatic Standby Generator

A whole-house automatic standby generator has many benefits over a portable generator, including:

Automatic Operation: A whole-house automatic standby generator kicks on automatically when the power goes out, so you don’t have to worry about manually starting it up.
Safety: A whole-house automatic standby generator is installed outside your home, so there’s no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Power: A whole-house automatic standby generator can power your entire home, not just a few small appliances.
Convenience: A whole-house automatic standby generator is permanently installed and ready to go—no setup is required!

A power outage can happen anytime, day or night, often without warning. That’s why it’s essential to have a plan in place should the electricity go out for an extended period. Install a whole-house automatic standby generator before the next storm hits. Don’t let another power outage leave you in the dark. Contact Standard today for all your generator needs!

Stuart was prompt, professional, courteous, and very efficient. He serviced my HVAC units in a timely fashion. Having just moved in a few months ago getting all my questions answered and the units thoroughly checked by a professional was paramount. Great job Stuart. Thank you.

I’ve had to call Standard 3 times in the last month for HVAC and plumbing issues. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been so great, especially our new plumber friend, Brad Casey! I will be using this company exclusively, from now on! ????

I used Standard to install a new gas water heater today. Baron was the tech and he clearly explained all the activities he would perform in presenting the cost estimate. Then the installation was performed efficiently and neatly. Well done.

Always get great service! Billy was so nice and professional. He was also super knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem almost immediately. Love that he already had info about my system from having Standard service previously ( I know nothing). Issues were fixed rapidly and my house is cool again! Thank you!

Our AC went out last week and they came within two days (hottest week so far this year of course!). Billy figured out the compressor issue in about 15 minutes and had us up and repaired it by the afternoon. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Richard L.

The entire process of installing my system and the recent maintenance has been professional and so helpful. Daniel came this week and he took care of my equipment but he helped me get it online so I can check it and control it away from the house. So appreciate his help!

Nola S.
