GENERATORS
ALWAYS BE READY FOR NEW ENGLAND'S NEXT STORM.
If your home loses power for any reason, the Generac Automatic Home Standby Generator can restore electricity to your home — allowing your family to continue life as usual.
These compact units are more affordable than you might think — and certainly easier to use, safer and more powerful than using a “portable generator” in an emergency. With automatic startup and shutdown features, these home generators can be operated by natural gas (if your home already has gas appliances or furnace) or by propane gas.
At Central Cooling, our experts will work with you to configure the best unit for your needs — such as, how much of your home you wish to “bring back online” after a power outage? Perhaps you wish for simply the “essentials” — heat, the refrigerator, some lights, and outlets — to stay running. Or maybe you would like to have the entire house operable. The Central Cooling team will assist you in making these decisions, and our technical team will quickly and efficiently install your unit and answer all of your questions.
Call 1-800-CENTRAL to arrange for a no-obligation appointment.
A permanently installed Generac home backup generator protects your home automatically. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane (LP) fuel, and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit. A home backup generator delivers power directly to your home’s electrical system, backing up your entire home or just the most essential items. Today’s Generac models feature electronic diagnostics for reliable operation.
how a standby generator works:
1. UTILITY POWER IS LOST
Whether from a storm, a fallen utility pole, or simply one of the “New England Blackouts,” the electricity you depend on is suddenly gone.
2. YOUR GENERAC GENERATOR SENSES A PROBLEM
Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home’s power.
3. THE GENERATOR TURNS ON - AUTOMATICALLY - WHETHER YOU'RE HOME OR AWAY
Within a few seconds, it is up to speed and generating electricity.
4. YOUR ELECTRICITY IS RESTORED
The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home. And it will continue until utility power returns. When that happens, the generator ceases operation—automatically.
The number of lights and appliances determines the size of generator that would be right for your home. Use the chart below as a guide:
| 7kW | 8kW | 10kW | 14kW | 17kW | 20kW+ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Circuits | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 200 Amp |
| Air Conditioning | 2-ton | 2-ton | 3-ton | ≤ 4-ton* | ≤ 5-ton* | ≤ 5-ton* |
