BC Hydro cannot always provide uninterrupted electricity for various reasons, including storms, road accidents that generate a local blackout, vandalism, or even purposeful sabotage. When the electricity goes off, a standby generator provides continuous backup. They are typically mounted in your yard and connected to your home’s electrical grid instead of portable generators. Like a furnace, a standby generator senses a power interruption instantly and waits a few moments for electricity to be restored. If not, the automated transfer switch connectivity issues the building from the powerlines and links it to the generator engine—all within seconds of a power outage. When electricity is restored from the utility company, the system rejoins the utility wires and turns off the generator. Home standby generators are becoming more popular as they provide backup power for HVAC systems, security systems, water heaters, refrigerators, stoves, and other household equipment. Are you looking for the peace of mind that a backup generator may provide? Call Kankpe Electric now to discuss a generator solution that will match your requirements.
