What is a Standby Generator?

For most of us, it’s a foregone conclusion that when we flick a light switch on or plug our phone in, the power will be there to serve us. We don’t even think twice about it; it’s simply a fact of life we take for granted. On the rare occasion that a power surge or windstorm knocks us offline for a bit, it’s an inconvenience at worst.

But for some, experiencing a loss of power in a home or business is devastating. For families on the cusp of economic instability, losing a refrigerator or deep freezer full of food is a major life upheaval.

Homes or facilities that depend on access to power for medical support equipment need a continuous and reliable source of power to ensure the well-being of vulnerable residents and/or visitors.

Planned power outages are rare, which is why planning for a power outage is paramount.

A standby generator is one of the most efficient, no-hassle ways to ensure your home or business always stays connected. As an automatic backup electrical system, within seconds of a power loss, the standby generator kicks in, allowing the entire home to continue functioning normally. You may also choose to select a partial standby, that services a select area only.

No need to start it. No need to choose which appliances or equipment you want to “save.” No need to run extension cords through your home. In fact, even if you’re away when your home or business loses power, the standby generator has your back!

A residential standby system runs through your home’s natural gas line or liquid propane fuel supply. Commercial and industrial customers have options including diesel, natural gas, or dual fuel (diesel and natural gas) engines.

GenerX offers five series of generators, which collectively offer backup power support for buildings ranging from small homes to large industrial complexes.

Below are brief highlights of each series. Click the titles to learn more about our five premium generator systems.
