Pick the Right Backup Power
A standby generator sits outside like an AC unit. It starts on its own when the power goes out. Plus, it can run your whole house.
A portable generator costs less. However, you have to roll it out, fuel it and plug it in. With a transfer switch, it can safely run the circuits you choose.
Quick compare:
⚡ Standby: starts by itself in seconds
⚡ Standby: runs on natural gas or propane
⚡ Portable: lower cost, more work
⚡ Portable: needs a transfer switch or interlock
⚡ Both: need a pro install to be safe

Quick Answers
⚡ What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run. We add up your must-have loads, like the fridge, AC and well pump. Then we size it.
⚡ Can a portable generator run my AC?
Small portables usually can’t. A large portable may run a small AC. A standby is the surest way to keep AC on.
⚡ Do generators need maintenance?
Yes. Standby units need yearly service. See our generator maintenance page.

“Voltex installed a transfer switch so that I can easily go from utility power to my portable generator. It was a simple process, reasonable in cost, and Brandon Ator did a great job. I will happily refer him and his company to all my friends.”
