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 & Heating, 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 & Heating 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.

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?

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.

How your standby generator works: Utility power is lost in your home during a Massachusetts snow storm, hurricane or wind storm blackout
How your home standby generator works: Within seconds of losing power, your Generac generator senses a problem.

Your Generac Generator Senses A Problem

Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home’s power.

The Generator Turns On - Automatically - Whether You're Home Or Away

Within a few seconds, it is up to speed and generating electricity.

How your generator works: Your Generac home standby generator turns on within seconds of detecting a loss of power, whether you are in Woburn or away on vacation.
How your backup generator works: Electricity is restored to your home within seconds of a power outage, even during the harshest New England storms.

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:
