Seamless Power for Your Omaha Home
The magic behind a whole house generator is the automatic transfer switch (ATS). This intelligent device, installed next to your main electrical panel, constantly monitors the power coming from the utility. When it detects an outage, it safely disconnects your home from the grid and signals the generator to start.
The generator unit is permanently installed outside, connected to a stable fuel source like natural gas, and starts up automatically. After losing power, the ATS will activate, restoring power to your lights, appliances, and HVAC system. This entire process happens automatically in seconds, whether you are home or away.
The Advantages of Uninterrupted Power
The benefits of a standby generator go far beyond just keeping the lights on.
Here’s how it protects your home and lifestyle:
- Maintain year-round comfort. A generator keeps your furnace running during a winter ice storm and your air conditioner working through a summer heat wave, maintaining a safe and comfortable temperature indoors.
- Protect your property. For Omaha homes with basements, keeping the sump pump operational during a storm is critical for preventing floods. A generator also keeps your refrigerator and freezer running, saving your food from spoiling.
- Power essential devices. A generator provides uninterrupted support for family members dependent on powered medical equipment. It also powers your internet and computers, allowing you to stay connected.
- Preserve home security. Your generator will keep your security system, garage door opener, and indoor and outdoor lights running, maintaining the safety of your home during an outage.
In short, a whole house generator doesn't just power your house; it preserves your usual way of life during an outage.
Planning Your Home Generator System
When choosing a generator for your Omaha home, we'll help you consider a few key factors to find the perfect fit, such as:
- Generator size. You can choose a smaller unit to power only essential circuits like the furnace and refrigerator, or a larger generator that can handle the electrical load of your entire house.
- Fuel source. Natural gas provides a continuous fuel supply from your utility line. Liquid propane (LP) is an excellent alternative for homes without access to natural gas, stored in a tank on your property.
- Ongoing maintenance. A generator is an engine that requires regular maintenance, like oil changes, to be ready when needed. We offer annual service plans to protect your investment.
Our team will walk you through each option, providing the information you need to choose your home's backup power needs confidently.
