Installing Your Standby Generator

Installing your standby generator permanently gives the security of electricity automatically functioning in the event of power supply failure for residences, businesses, emergency services, hospitals, rural areas, commercial and industrial consumers. Regardless of the type of power generators you purchase, knowing your city's building, electric and emission codes is important. Building permits are not required when installing your standby generator.

Regarding Fuels when Installing Standby Generators

There are three types of standby generator fuels; natural gas, propane and diesel.  Diesel will be the most cost effective but has has higher emissions and can be difficult to obtain, regular gas is easy to acquire, is easy on your generator motor but can be costly  and the third is propane.  Propane LP is easy to store, is a clean burn, yet expensive.   Regardless of the type of generator you are using, you must adhere to emissions regulations and storage of your generator and any backup fuel canister. When storing fuel, LP is the most effective becuae you have natural gas lines already running to your home or business and upon failure you would have backup fuel.

Residential - Installing your Standby Generator Basics

Installing your standby generator will require thoughtful planning but the actual task of the installation is not difficult.  There is a variant of sizes and fuels which determine some of the important details when installing your standby generator. Standby generators are usually a permanent fixture allowing emergency (standby) power to be provided to all of the residence or a few select devices. Installing your standby generator is greatly different than the  installation of portable generators or PTO generators so new instructions and learning are recommended.  Most generators come with installations diagrams and instructions.  If no booklet is obtained, contact a generator distributor willing to assist you such as TEMCo.

Installing Your Standby Generator for Commercial Applications

The size of a generator usually dictates the power load whether it is a single or 3 phase generator.  Heating, air conditioning and furnaces draw large amounts of power and therefore commercial sites such as hospitals require large load capacity automatic backup generators.  There are basically three types of fueled generators; natural gas, LP and diesel generators.  The type of fuel will not dictate installation set-up except when it comes to exhaust,  local zoning and emissions regulations.
