Standby Power Generators

Keep Your Home Powered When It Matters Most

Automatic standby generators help maintain comfort and normalcy during power outages by supplying seamless backup electricity to your home.

Every year, millions of Canadians lose power due to hurricanes, ice storms, snow, or accidents. In an instant, the lights, heating, A/C, fridge, sump pump, and security systems stop working. While a short outage may be a hassle, extended outages lasting days or weeks can be costly and even dangerous.

A Generac automatic standby generator restores power to your home within seconds — even when you’re not there. Why invest in a home generator? Unlike portable units, a fully automatic Generac standby generator starts on its own when it detects an outage. No extension cords, no gas refills, no flipping switches. Just reliable power, safety, and peace of mind.

Power Outages Happen Without Warning

Common Causes of Power Failures:

  • 38% – Weather-related (lightning, wind, rain, snow, ice, extreme heat or cold)
  • 26% – Utility equipment failure or grid overload
  • 12% – Tree limbs or overgrowth
  • 10% – Animal interference
  • 8% – Human error (digging, vehicle accidents, vandalism)
  • 6% – Miscellaneous causes (construction, fire, mechanical damage)

How a Standby Generator Protects Your Home

An automatic generator constantly monitors your home’s electrical supply. The moment an outage is detected, it powers on and supplies electricity to key areas of your home. Once grid power is restored, the generator turns off and resumes standby mode.

At a minimum, we recommend powering the following essentials:

  • Furnace
  • Air Conditioner
  • Sump Pump
  • Lights
  • Well Pump
  • Garage Door Opener
  • Security System
  • Refrigerator
