Understanding Your Home Generator Options

Choosing the right generator is the first step toward securing your home against power outages. The best solution depends on your specific needs, from powering a few essential appliances to running your entire household without interruption. Understanding the primary types helps you make an informed decision for your family's security.

Here is a look at the main options for home backup power:

  • Portable Generators: These are smaller, gasoline-powered units that can be moved. While less expensive upfront, they must be manually started, refueled, and connected via extension cords. They are best suited for powering a few essential items like a refrigerator or lights for a short duration.
  • Automatic Standby Generators: These are permanent, more powerful units installed outside your home, much like an AC unit. They are connected directly to your home’s electrical panel and fuel supply (natural gas or propane).
  • Whole-Home vs. Essential-Circuit: Standby generators can be sized to power your entire house, meaning life continues as normal during an outage. Alternatively, a smaller standby unit can be connected to just your essential circuits, such as the furnace, refrigerator, well pump, and select lights.

An automatic standby generator offers the most seamless and comprehensive protection, providing true peace of mind that your home is always prepared.

Our Generator Installation Process

At Reiner Group, we provide a comprehensive, turnkey generator installation service to make the process simple and stress-free. Our experienced team manages every detail, from initial planning to final testing, ensuring your system is installed safely and operates flawlessly. Our commitment is to provide you with a reliable backup power solution.

Here is what you can expect from our professional installation process:

  • On-Site Consultation and Sizing: We begin with a thorough assessment of your home's electrical needs and your specific goals. Our experts will help you select the correctly sized generator to power either your essential circuits or your entire home.
  • Site Preparation and Placement: We will help you choose the best location for the generator that complies with all local codes and manufacturer specifications. We then prepare the site by installing a concrete pad for a stable, level foundation.
  • Professional Electrical and Fuel Connection: Our licensed technicians will expertly connect the generator to your home. This includes installing the automatic transfer switch (ATS) at your electrical panel and safely connecting the unit to your natural gas or propane line.
  • System Activation and Testing: Once the installation is complete, we perform a full system test. We simulate a power outage to ensure the generator starts automatically and the transfer switch works seamlessly. We then walk you through the system's operation.

Our meticulous process, backed by the Reiner Group guarantee, ensures you have a dependable source of power ready for the moment you need it.

The Importance of Professional Installation

A standby generator is a complex system that integrates directly with your home's electrical and fuel systems, making professional installation an absolute necessity. A certified technician ensures the generator is placed and wired in compliance with all local and national safety codes, preventing the risk of electrical fires or back-feeding utility lines.

Proper installation is also critical for the generator's performance and longevity. An expert correctly sizes the unit and calibrates the automatic transfer switch, which is the component that safely manages the shift from grid power to generator power. Incorrect setup can damage the generator and your home's sensitive electronics.

Finally, manufacturers' warranties require that the generator be installed by a licensed and certified professional. Entrusting the job to an expert not only guarantees safe and reliable operation but also protects your significant investment for its entire service life, providing true and lasting peace of mind.
