What Are the Advantages of Standby Generators?

Your home should be a sanctuary, regardless of what’s happening outside.

For those with medical needs, elderly family members or young children, backup power isn’t just about comfort — it’s about health and safety. A Generac system provides automatic, reliable power during outages, giving you one less thing to worry about.

With advanced features like remote monitoring and smart home compatibility, Generac systems ensure that you’re not just prepared for an outage: you’re in control. A Generac standby generator offers the peace of mind of knowing your home and family are always protected.

Standby Generators vs. Portable Generators

When choosing a generator for your home, it’s important to understand the differences between standby generators and portable generators to determine which best suits your needs.

Standby generators are permanently installed outside your home and connect directly to your electrical system. They automatically detect power outages and switch on within seconds, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to essential systems and appliances. These systems are powered by natural gas or propane, making them a reliable and long-term solution for extended outages. Standby generators are ideal for homeowners seeking convenience, energy efficiency and the ability to power their entire home during an outage.

We offer budget-friendly alternative solutions, including portable units with manual transfer switches when automatic standby isn’t a priority. We simply run a fuel line similar to a propane or natural gas BBQ grill hookup, eliminating the need for gas cans.

Propane Standby Generator FAQs

A. Most installations are completed in one day, though complex electrical work may require additional time.

A. The Rinker Oil and Propane team will assess your home’s power requirements and recommend the appropriate system size for your needs. We will review factors like your home’s size, which affects how much power your home will need to maintain power to basics such as lights, HVAC, refrigerators, freezers and sump pumps. You may also have other needs, such as home security systems, home medical equipment like CPAPs or electric wheelchairs, and electronics like phones, laptops, TVs and gaming systems. Please tell us about those to help us determine your needs when it comes to your generator size.

A. That’s another reason why a Generac standby generator is a great choice. As soon as it detects that the power has gone out, it waits for a few moments to make sure the outage wasn’t just a flicker and then automatically kicks on. Whether you’re home or not, you don’t have to lift a finger to keep your home safe and comfortable!
