Generators for Your Northern Utah Home
Most Utah homeowners buy an Emergency Standby Generator once in a lifetime. Here
is the information you need to get the right one. When you lose power it is
often when you least want to go outdoors. Modern society depends on a reliable
and stable supply of electrical power. For this reason, each year thousands of
Americans purchase standby generators to protect themselves, their families and
their businesses in the likely event of power failures. Here are some tips: Portable vs. Stationary - Let’s Compare
Portable Generator
A portable has to be brought out of storage and moved to where you need it. It
must be refueled frequently. Portables are universally fueled with gasoline, a
fuel that requires safe storage and extra care in handling. Portables have small
tanks and need refueling every few hours. Also, gasoline does not store well for
extended periods, and even with additives it is only stable for a few months.
Portable generator owners usually employ a series of extension cords to connect
the generator to specific items in their house, such as a refrigerator, lights,
computer and TV. Although this method works, it is most practical for outages of
very short duration. What about your furnace, sump pump or well pump ? Also did
you know that small portable generators do not provide the cleanest of power,
and are not recommended for sensitive electronics such as a TV or computer.
Another serious concern is improper grounding and bonding methods when these
portable generators are used to power home appliances and when connected
(illegally) to furnaces and pumps. These are safety issues that can result in
serious injury or death. Automatic Standby Generator
With a Stationary Automatic Standby Generator on duty, you and your family can
stay warm and dry in your home instead of battling the elements to start your
portable generator.
An Automatic Standby Generator employs an automatic transfer switch which
monitors the incoming Utility company Power Supply, starts the generator, and
transfers the load automatically, and upon return of Utility power after the
power outage, it automatically transfers the load back to the Utility power
supply, continues to run the generator for a brief cool-down period, and then
shuts down the generator. It is ready for the next power outage.
Automatic Standby Generators are also self exercising, and start and run for a
brief period at your preset time once each week. In this way your Automatic
Standby Generator is always ready for the call to duty.
No Northern Utah home should be without protection from electrical power outages. Our
Automatic Standby Generators can power your refrigerator, freezer, sump pump,
well pump, kitchen outlets, lights, computer, home entertainment system, and
even your home’s Central Air Conditioner (try that with your portable gasoline
powered generator!)

insulated enclosure. They use clean burning natural gas or propane fuel, not
