Standby Generators Northern Virginia
One of the key advantages of installing residential standby generators is that they can be configured to provide backup power automatically when the power goes out. Whether the outage is due to a heavy storm or excessive demand from the heat, a standby generator can provide power for many days--and even weeks, if need be. Unlike portable backup generators, residential standby generators are filled by the same fuel lines that run to the house. When coupled with an automatic transfer utility, a standby generator can get power back to the whole house in as few as 10 seconds.
Matching Residential Standby Generators to Homeowners' Needs
Different models of residential standby generators are capable of powering a different number of devices. Among the models from which property owners can choose are:
- Systems with 8.5 kW ratings that can power lighting throughout a home, as well as the refrigerator, computer, sump pump, television and furnace fan in a northern Virginia home
- Standby generators with 15 kW ratings that can also provide electricity for security systems, kitchen appliances and water heaters
- 30 kW models that are capable of powering washers and dryers in the event of prolonged electrical outages
