Why Consider a Home Standby Generator?
Unlike a portable generator, a standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected to your electrical system. When utility power fails, it senses the outage and starts automatically — no cords, no refueling, no stepping out into the weather.
Automatic operation – Engineered to rapidly detect power outages, this system enables the swift restoration of electricity in a matter of seconds. By minimizing downtime, it ensures that disruptions to service are kept to and improving reliability in electricity service.
Whole-home or essential load coverage – You can either provide electricity to your entire home or selectively power only the essential circuits that keep your household running smoothly. This allows for tailored energy management, ensuring that you maintain functionality in key areas such as refrigeration, lighting, and heating, even during power outages or when energy resources are limited.
Runs on natural gas or propane – It is important to avoid gasoline storage and refueling trips for safety and efficiency reasons.
Protects what matters most – This system provides essential protection for critical components including refrigeration units, HVAC systems, well pumps, medical devices, and security systems. It ensures the reliable operation of these vital services, safeguarding what matters most to you.

Is a Home Standby Generator a Good Fit?

You rely on well water, a septic system, or medical equipment

Home Standby Generator FAQs
Q: What size generator do I need?
A: It depends on what you want to power. Some homeowners choose “essential loads” only (fridge, lights, select outlets, well pump, small AC), while others opt for near whole-home coverage. During your on-site assessment, we’ll review your panel and expected loads and recommend sizes that make sense.
Q: How long can a Generac home standby generator run?
A: As long as it has fuel and proper maintenance. On natural gas or a properly-sized propane tank, your generator can run through extended outages, automatically cycling to protect the engine.
Q: How often does my generator need maintenance?
A: Most residential standby generators benefit from annual maintenance under normal conditions, or more often in heavy-use scenarios. Blu Candor Electrical offers ongoing service options to keep your system ready.
Q:Will my generator start automatically if I’m not home?
A: Yes. Once installed and programmed, the generator continuously monitors utility power and starts up automatically when it detects an outage.
Q: Do you install gas or propane fuel lines for generators?
A: No. Blu Candor Electrical, LLC does not install or modify gas or propane fuel lines. However, we can assist you in locating a qualified, licensed plumber in your area to handle this portion of the project safely and legally.
Can you service an existing Generac generator?
A: In most cases, yes. We can inspect, test, and service many existing Generac air-cooled standby units. We’ll review your model and condition at the initial visit.
