Standby generators are used to provide automatic backup electricity & power for your home when the power goes out. This uninterrupted power allows the key systems in your home to continue operation without interruption. Standby power generators run off of liquid propane, diesel or natural gas and are located outside the home, making them much safer than using a portable generator in an emergency.

The installation specialists at Lenius and Osborn will install your standby generator, connecting it directly to your home’s power grid. The generator will not come online until the sensor detects a power outage lasting longer than thirty seconds. Should this happen, the sensor will send a signal that disconnects your home from the BC Hydro power grid and in turn connects the standby generator. When BC Hydro’s power is restored, everything reverts to normal operation.
