Power your home even when the power is out
A home generator can help you avoid the headache of power outages, especially if you live in an area with frequent storms or other extreme weather. A home generator is permanently installed outside your home and connects directly to your home’s wiring. It runs on either natural gas or liquid propane and if you lose power, your generator will automatically turn on. You can designate which parts of your home you want to power, such as your heating system or certain appliances.
