Automatic Standby Generators

A standby generator sits permanently outside the home and switches on automatically within seconds of an outage. No cords, no manual starting. It runs on natural gas or propane and powers the circuits that matter most, or the whole home, depending on the setup.

Backup Power for Wells and Wooded Lots

Many homes in Carlisle, Lincoln and Winchester are on wooded lots and lose power regularly in storms. On a private well, an outage also means no running water, which is why standby generators are so popular in the rural parts of the county. The generator is sized to what the home actually needs, with a transfer switch that makes it seamless.

Full Installation

The licensed electrician handles the electrical installation, the transfer switch, and coordination of the gas hookup, plus the permit and inspection. The result is a system that just works when it is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it run my well pump?
Yes. Keeping well water running through an outage is one of the main reasons rural customers install standby generators.
