Home Standby Generators.
Power That Starts Itself.
Why Wasatch Front Homeowners Add a Standby Generator
Canyon wind events along the east bench, heavy wet snow and summer storms all take down power lines along the Wasatch Front. When the power goes out in January, a furnace can't run without electricity, even on natural gas. Sump pumps stop, refrigerators warm up, and anyone working from home or relying on medical equipment is stuck. A portable generator helps, but someone has to be home to drag it out, fuel it and run extension cords in the weather. A home standby generator is built for exactly that situation and handles it on its own.
How a Standby Generator Works
- Permanent outdoor unit on a pad beside the house, connected to your existing natural gas or propane supply
- Automatic transfer switch wired into your electrical panel that senses the outage, starts the generator and safely isolates your home from the utility line
- Automatic return to utility power when the grid comes back, with the generator shutting itself down
- Weekly self-test so it's ready when you need it
Whole-Home or Essential Circuits?
We start with a load calculation, not a sales pitch. Some homeowners want everything to keep running as normal, including central air. Others only need the essentials: furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, lights and outlets in a few key rooms, which allows a smaller unit at a lower cost. We walk you through both options with real numbers before you decide.
What Installation Includes
- Site and load evaluation to size the generator and choose a location that meets clearance requirements
- Electrical permit and inspection, handled by us
- Gas line sized for the generator's draw, so it doesn't starve your furnace or water heater during an outage
- Pad, unit placement and transfer switch wiring into your panel
- Startup, testing and a walkthrough of how it works
If your panel is older or doesn't have the capacity, we'll tell you upfront and can include a panel upgrade in the same project rather than surprising you later. Most installations are finished in a day or two.
Generac, Installed by a Factory-Authorized Dealer
Aireo is a factory-authorized Generac dealer, which keeps parts, warranty registration and service straightforward. Every job comes with a written, upfront quote before work begins, our 1-year parts and labor warranty and a lifetime workmanship guarantee on the installation, in addition to Generac's equipment warranty.
Keep It Ready
A generator that's never serviced may not start when the storm hits. We recommend an annual service visit to change the oil and filters, check the battery and test the transfer switch under load.
