What Is a Standby Generator?

Automatic Backup Power for Your Entire Home

A whole home standby generator sits outside your house and connects directly to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch. When utility power drops, the generator starts within seconds and powers your entire home. No extension cords. No manual startup. No running to the garage in a storm.

When utility power returns, the system switches back automatically and the generator shuts itself down. You stay comfortable, your food stays cold, and your pipes never freeze.

Colorado Winter Ready

When the Next Storm Hits, Will Your Home Stay Warm?

Colorado Springs and the eastern plains see some of the most severe winter weather in the state. Ice storms, heavy snow, and high winds regularly take down power lines. Without backup power, you lose heat, running water, and the ability to keep your family safe.

A Generac standby generator activates automatically. No flashlights, no scrambling, no calling the power company. Just uninterrupted power until the grid comes back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Generator Installation FAQ

How much does a whole home generator cost in Colorado Springs?
A complete standby generator installation typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on generator size, fuel type, distance from the gas meter, and any panel upgrades required. We provide a detailed, line-item proposal after your free on-site assessment.
How long does generator installation take?
Most installations take 1 to 3 days of on-site work. This covers the concrete pad, generator placement, fuel line connection, automatic transfer switch installation, and full system testing.
What size generator do I need for my home?
It depends on your home's square footage, panel capacity, and which systems you want to power. A typical Colorado Springs home (2,000 to 3,000 sq ft) usually needs a 20 to 24kW unit for full coverage. We perform an exact load calculation during your free estimate.
Do I need a permit for a standby generator?
Yes. Electrical and building permits are required. As a licensed contractor (EC.0103431), we pull all permits and schedule all inspections. You do not have to deal with the city or county.
What happens during a power outage with a standby generator?
The automatic transfer switch detects the power loss within seconds and signals your generator to start. Power is restored automatically. When utility power returns, the system switches back and the generator shuts down on its own.
Do you install generators in Calhan, Ellicott, and Peyton?
Absolutely. We serve the entire eastern plains corridor. Many rural properties rely on well water and propane, making standby generators critical. We specialize in propane-fueled installations for homes without natural gas service.
Natural gas or propane: which is better?
If your property has a natural gas line, that is usually the most convenient option. Propane is the go-to for rural properties without gas service. We install both and will recommend the best option for your situation.
Does a standby generator increase home value?
Yes. A permanently installed standby generator is a strong selling point in Colorado where severe weather and extended outages are common. Studies show generators can return 50 to 150% of their cost at resale.
