FAQ

What is a backup generator, and how does it work?

A backup generator provides power to your home or business during a power outage. It automatically detects when the utility power goes out and switches on, delivering electricity to your essential systems. Once power is restored, the generator turns off and returns to standby mode, ready for the next outage. Backup generators are typically powered by natural gas, propane, or diesel.

How long can a backup generator run during an outage?

The runtime of a backup generator depends on its fuel source and the size of the generator. Natural gas generators can run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Propane and diesel generators are limited by the amount of fuel available, but refuelling can extend their operation. Generally, most residential and commercial generators are designed to run for several hours or days without issue.

Can a backup generator power my entire home or business?

Yes, whole-house or full-building generators are available and can be sized to power your entire home or business, including all critical systems and appliances. Alternatively, you can choose a generator that only powers essential systems, such as lighting, heating, cooling, and refrigeration, depending on your budget and energy needs.

What maintenance does a backup generator require?

Backup generators require regular maintenance to ensure reliable performance during outages. This typically includes checking fuel levels, oil changes, battery inspections, and overall system testing. Most manufacturers recommend annual maintenance, though our team at GreenLight Power offers customized maintenance plans to keep your generator in peak condition.

How long does it take for a backup generator to start during a power outage?

Backup generators are designed to activate automatically within seconds of detecting a power outage—typically between 10 to 30 seconds. This ensures minimal disruption to your home or business operations during an outage.6

What’s the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?

A standby generator is permanently installed and automatically powers your home or business during an outage. It connects directly to your electrical system and runs on natural gas, propane, or diesel. A portable generator is a smaller, mobile option that you must manually set up and connect during an outage. Standby generators offer more convenience and reliability for long-term or frequent outages.

Do backup generators require permits for installation?

Yes, installing a backup generator typically requires permits, especially for systems that connect to your home or business’s electrical wiring and fuel sources like natural gas or propane. Our team at GreenLight Power will handle all necessary permits and ensure your generator installation complies with local regulations.
