What Is a Standby Generator and Why Do I Need One?

If you’ve ever experienced a power outage in your home or business, you know how inconvenient and sometimes dangerous it can be. A standby generator is a device designed to automatically provide backup power when the main electrical supply is interrupted. Unlike portable generators that need to be manually started and plugged in, standby generators turn on automatically within seconds of a power loss. This means your essential appliances — such as your refrigerator, air conditioning, lights, and medical devices — keep running smoothly without any effort from you.

In Florida, power outages are a common reality, especially during hurricane season and severe storms. These outages can last from a few minutes to several days, causing spoiled food, disrupted work, and unsafe living or business conditions. Investing in a standby generator is a smart way to safeguard your property and ensure uninterrupted comfort and productivity.

How Does a Standby Generator Work?

A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home or commercial building. It is connected directly to your electrical system and a fuel source, typically natural gas or propane. The generator constantly monitors power from the utility company. The moment it detects an outage, it automatically kicks in within seconds and supplies power to your home or business.

Once utility power is restored, the generator shuts off, and your system switches back seamlessly to normal electricity. This automatic process requires no manual intervention and happens reliably every time, ensuring you never have to worry about being left in the dark.

What Happens During Generator Installation?

We start by carefully assessing your property and electrical needs, helping you choose the best circuits to back up and the ideal generator location. We handle all permits and inspections to ensure a smooth, safe, and code-compliant installation.

On installation day, our electricians professionally mount the generator on a sturdy pad or custom stand and connect it to your electrical panel through a transfer switch that seamlessly switches power during outages.

For the propane or natural gas connection, we collaborate with licensed, trusted gas professionals who expertly manage all fuel line work. Whether you’d like us to coordinate everything or prefer your own provider, we ensure the process is hassle-free and well-organized.

After the gas connection, we return to start up and thoroughly test your system. We’ll also walk you through how it works and assist with smart features like Wi-Fi setup. Typically completed in one or two days, the installation is minimally invasive and designed to keep your home powered reliably with as little disruption as possible.

If there was a way to give ten stars for DeCort Electrical Solutions, I would. Why? Because not only is DeCort Electrical Solutions a local, family owned business, Jon DeCort is as honest as he is a perfectionist. You can trust him, which is a rare and wonderful thing in this day and age. Jon takes pictures of his own work and reviews them at the end of the day, at home, to ensure he has missed nothing. If he does make a rare mistake, he immediately notifies the customer to arrange to correct it. I have never known of a contractor to do that, have you? Trust DeCort - you will be glad you did.

We’ve used Decort Electrical Solutions for a number of different jobs, including a new 220 line for a pool heater, repair and maintenance on our generator and most recently a full panel replacement in our condo. Jon and Lynn are a pleasure to work with, from communication and scheduling, honest assessment of work required (and not), reliability in meeting appointment commitments, quality work and fair, transparent pricing. We will use them when the need arises again and would recommend others consider Decort for their electrical needs too.

We are so happy that we found Jon! My 40 year old house had a number of electrical issues and almost none of the rooms were wired for overhead lighting. Jon wired and installed ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms. He even put them together for us. I hate that part! They look and work great! Like they've been there all along. Downstairs he helped us convert an extra living room into a huge dining room by wiring and installing three chandeliers over our table. The spacing and positioning are perfect and we've received so many compliments. We knew it was an unusual request but Jon was so easy to work with and it turned out better than we ever imagined! Jon's prices are great and he shows up promptly at the time he says he will. He comes very well prepared by asking in advance for the make and model of the fixtures. He is skilled and knowledgable without ever being condescending. It was comfortable to have him working in our house because he is polite and self directed. He was friendly to my nervous dogs and respectful about our preferences. "Do you mind if I use your kitchen sink to wash my hands?" Finding a tradesman online to invite into your home can be scary. It feels so good when you find someone awesome! I will be scheduling more work with Jon in the future and I've already recommended him to my mother.
