Backup Generator FAQ
What Is a Backup Generator?
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.
Backup vs. Standby Generators
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.
The benefits of backup generators:
- Provides enough energy to support crucial appliances or systems
- Relatively easy to install and maintain
- Cost-effective compared to larger, permanently installed units
- Can be used for both residential and commercial properties
The benefits of standby generators:
- Automatically turns on during an outage or shortage
- Can power an entire home or business, not just select appliances
- Can increase property value
