What Is a Whole Home Standby Generator and Do You Need One?
A standby generator sits outside and connects to your electrical system through transfer equipment. When utility power fails, the generator can start automatically and power selected circuits or larger portions of the home.
Missouri homes with well pumps, sump pumps, HVAC, freezers, home offices, medical equipment, or frequent outages often benefit from standby backup power.
