A backup generator is an emergency source of electricity that can power select appliances, electronics, and lights during an outage. The majority of backup generators are manually operated and powered by diesel fuel, natural gas, or propane. While this type of generator is not permanently installed, it must still be properly connected to a building’s electrical grid.
While backup and standby generators may be referred to interchangeably, there are key differences between them. Backup generators typically have a lower power output and require manual operation. On the other hand, standby generators are permanently installed and can automatically turn on during an outage or shortage.
