• An automatic standby generator starts within seconds of a power outage, and eliminates the need to haul a portable generator outside or run extension cords throughout your home.

• An automatic generator runs on your home’s natural gas or LP fuel supply. It does not need to be refilled like a portable generator.

• Automatic generators provide protection 24/7, whether you’re home or away. They turn themselves off when utility power returns, so there is no need to monitor the unit during an outage.

• Having an automatic standby generator properly installed outside your home will reduce your risk of exposure to carbon monoxide poisoning that is a much greater with portable generators.
