Chose a Standby Power System by SnowMelt Inc.Standby Power Systems, commonly called backup generators, are single unit generator installations that are permanently installed outside the residence and are generally powered by either natural gas or propane.
These units are designed to provide all (or partial) electric power to the home when the utility power fails. Standby power systems are available in all the sizes and with the options you need ranging in output from 8 kW to 750 kW.
The residential and light commercial line of standby generators is suited for use by homeowners and small businesses that need dependable backup power in emergency situations. The smaller residential gensets range in output from 7 to 40 kilowatts and are available in either air-cooled or liquid-cooled models.
The air-cooled models are available in 7 through 20 kilowatts, and the liquid-cooled models are available in 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 kW outputs. All of the residential / light commercial power systems can be configured to run on natural gas but can be easily reconfigured for liquid propane (LP gas) operation.
These gensets can be configured to work with automatic transfer switches that safely transfer power within seconds of losing the utility power.
These units are capable of supplying electrical power to all pre-selected lights, appliances and equipment, and if you chose the whole home ATS the entire home or business will have power.
