A standby generator is going to be a huge help if and when the power is knocked out due to a strong storm. You can get a generator big enough to run your furnace along with the lights and appliances you need to maintain a relatively normal daily routine. If you have a woodstove, you can go a little smaller on the size of the generator. These are all things you will want to discuss with your electrician. Salt Lake City homeowners who are unsure of how many kilowatts they need to run their home can do a simple, free survey online or rely on the expertise of a professional electrician well-versed in generators and the installation process.
There are numerous differences as well as similarities between portable and permanent generators. One of the biggest benefits of a standby generator is the ease to get it up and running immediately following a power outage. A Salt Lake City electrician can explain more about transfer switches and how they automatically transfer the electric panel to the backup power source within seconds of the power going out.
