Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about purchasing, installing, and maintaining a home standby generator.

  • What is a home standby generator?
    A home standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system that automatically turns on within seconds of a power outage. It is connected directly to your home's electrical system and powered by natural gas or propane, providing uninterrupted power to your home until utility service is restored.
  • How do I choose the right generator size?
    Generator sizing depends on the size of your home and the appliances you want to power during an outage. South Shore Generator performs a professional load calculation to recommend the properly sized generator that fits both your electrical needs and budget.
  • Does the generator start automatically when the power goes out?
    Yes. Home standby generators continuously monitor your utility power. When an outage occurs, the automatic transfer switch safely disconnects your home from the utility and starts the generator within seconds. When utility power returns, the system switches your home back and automatically shuts the generator down.
  • How often does my generator need maintenance?
    Most manufacturers recommend annual maintenance or every 100-200 hours of operation. Routine service includes oil and filter changes, battery testing, coolant inspection (if applicable), software updates, and a complete system inspection to ensure reliable operation.
  • Can South Shore Generator handle installation and service?
    Absolutely. South Shore Generator provides turnkey installation services including site evaluation, permitting, electrical installation, transfer switch installation, startup, testing, and ongoing preventative maintenance to keep your generator ready whenever you need it.
