Start with the purchase of a quality generator system – know what you are buying.

Make sure you have the correct application for the generator, including the right size for the load – know who you are buying the home generator from and validate their expertise.

Ensure a proper installation that allows for adequate air flow for cooling and exhaust, as well as a clean environment – when purchasing from a professional, they will advise you on critical installation issues.

Provide proper and routine maintenance – if you don’t have the interest in maintenance, then hire a professional to do it for you.

Ensure access to competent technical and service expertise – identify an authorized dealer who has the knowledge and capability to address your service and warranty needs.

How does a home standby generator system work?

Within seconds of a power outage, the engine will automatically start, allowing your home generator to begin producing power. After a short delay (10 to 60 seconds) the Automatic Transfer Switch will restore power to the designated emergency circuits in your home. The home generator control system will automatically monitor utility power. When the utility power is restored, the Automatic Transfer Switch will safely transfer you back to the utility. The home generator will then go through a short cool down cycle, automatically shut down and then wait for the next event.

With all our quality home generator systems, the electric utility and home generator power are completely isolated. Therefore, you can have total confidence that your generator system is operating safely while the utility linemen are restoring utility power to your home.

Another great reason to select GenSpring Power.

How does a home generator produce power?

In the simplest terms, an engine revolves around a magnetic field called a rotor through a stationary coil of wires called a stator. This movement induces an electro-motive force (EMF) into the stator coils. As the magnetic lines of flux cut across the stationary windings, the difference in electrical “potential” is induced into the stator windings. When a complete circuit is formed (by connecting a load to the stator windings) current flow occurs. The current (in amperes) delivered to the load is affected by:

• The number of wire turns in the stator.

• The strength of the magnetic field in the rotor.

The wonderful thing about all of our automatic home generator systems is that all of this is done for you, whether your at work or at home. When you have a home generator system from GenSpring Power, you have power when you need it most.

Take a minute, and recall the last time the power went out. Do you remember specific appliances or key lighting that would have been beneficial? It’s not always necessary for homeowners to power their entire home with a Home Generator in a power outage, and it’s often most cost effective to only have selected circuits operate under emergency power. Take a look at our Common Sense Planning to get a good understanding of the various Home Generator options available for your home.

Today’s home standby generators are fully automatic, self-contained and built to be permanently installed outside your home. They use an automotive style muffler and sound attenuation to limit sound to as low as the mid 60 db’s. Environmentally friendly natural gas or propane are the fuels of choice. The most popular small automatic home generators range in size from 7 to 20kW.

Several factors should be considered when choosing the site for your home generator: access to the fuel source (natural gas or propane), access to the primary electric service entrance or panel for the home and landscape considerations. Once you know what you want to accomplish with your generator system, there are three approaches: Whole House, Essential Circuits and Majority of Circuits.

Understanding how you use energy is the key to planning for a home generator system for your home. The table below shows the typical wattage associated with various home appliances and will help you understand the factors that affect generator size. There are two primary considerations – Running Watts and Starting Watts. Running watts represent the steady-state wattage, while Starting Watts represent the initial starting wattage required when the appliance first starts. The table below is presented as a guide for you. When we meet with you for your site visit, we will use our years of experience to ensure that you have the right generator system to meet your needs.

Natural Gas Generators

Natural gas is an excellent fuel for a home standby generator system when it is available. Natural gas is safe and reliable since the fuel is delivered to your home through an underground distribution system, and therefore not usually subject to the storm damage that knocks out your electric service. Natural gas generators are always the first choice when natural gas is available. The primary consideration with natural gas is to ensure that your fuel line and gas meter are able to meet the needs of your natural gas generator and other gas appliances.

Propane Generators

When natural gas is not available, propane (LP Gas) is the fuel of choice for home standby generators. Propane gas is safe and stored as a liquid in a propane tank. When it is needed, it is pulled as a vapor gas off the upper portion of your tank for your home and your propane generator. Propane service is established by either owning your own tank or renting one from a propane supplier. The advantages of owning your tank is that you can purchase propane from any supplier. If you rent your tank, you are limited to the tank provider. The primary consideration with propane is ensuring an adequately sized tank for storage to meet your expected needs.
