FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions:
1) What is an automatic standby generator?
An automatic standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates whether you are at home or away. It automatically supplies power to essential circuits of your home within seconds of a utility outage. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and awaits the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.
2) How do I select a generator that’s right for me?
The most accurate way is to have an 911Generators apply an amp meter to the circuits or appliances that will operate with emergency backup power. Measurements should be taken as the appliance starts up. That’s because start up requires the greatest amount of power.
3) What size generator do I need for my home?
Every home owner’s requirement is different. Your power plant will be sized on the electrical load it will be carrying. The size of your house does not matter nor the size service feeding your home. It all comes down to what you want to run during an outage.
4) How much does it cost to purchase and install a generator?
Pricing depends on the your home requirements. Please contact us for more information. We will ensure that you get the right generator for your home. Have no worries, our service and installation is 100% guaranteed or your money back.
5) Can you install the generator for me?
Yes, please contact us for more information.
6) What’s the difference between air-cooled and liquid-cooled?
Air-cooled units use engines we design and manufacture specifically for our smaller generators. Volume production helps us to keep cost down, making our air-cooled generators the most affordable for our customers. They cover essential circuits and back-up power needs in most residential applications. Liquid-cooled units use automotive engines for increased horsepower. This makes them ideal for larger requirements such as whole-house power coverage, larger homes and commercial applications.
7) How long does a generator last?
A properly maintained generator should provide over 20 years of operation under emergency standby conditions. Keep in mind that the air cooled units are not intended to provide continuous power (24 hours a day, 365 days a year). The liquid cooled units are designed for continuous duty and will give you 10,000 to 12,000 hours of run life.
