Backup Generator Installation

CM Electric Will Generate Your Backup Plan

Loss of power can be a big problem for your house or business! Some power outages can last only a brief moment while others can last hours or days. Backup power is a smart investment! It allows you to maintain a steady and reliable source of energy, enabling your property to remain operational for an extended period.

A backup generator is an independent power source which supplements your primary electrical service and powers your when there is power outage. It is powered by a natural gas and if your primary power line fails, the generator will detect the outage and take over keeping your home or office functional.

Welcome to the world of generators! A backup generator is an independent power source that supplements your primary supply. It keeps electrical appliances such as laptops and air-conditioning running during pesky power cuts.
2How does it work?
When your electric utility fails, for whatever reason, these powerful machines can detect the outage and step in to supply electric power. They can provide backup power to your entire property or just the essential areas and electronics – you decide. They are no-nonsense tools used across the board, including residential homes, heavy-duty factories, and construction worksites. Ultimately, backup generators are lifesavers during load shedding or unexpected power outages.
3Standby vs. backup generator?
A standby generator is a permanently installed fixture, much like a central air-conditioning system. It has an engine that usually runs on natural gas or propane. A backup generator is a small, petrol-engine generator that you can position where you need it using heavy-duty extension cords to connect it to electrical loads.
4What are the benefits of standby generators?
Having one of these power-producing machines to backup your primary power source allows you to maintain a steady and reliable source of energy so that your day-to-day operations can continue. Installing a backup power is a smart investment because it:
  • Provides peace of mind during unexpected outages and other household emergencies.
  • Keeps your current electrical systems running smoothly, preventing wear and tear.
  • Increases the value of your home or commercial property.
5Do you need an electrician to set up a standby generator?
Yes. A licensed electrician will have the necessary experience to connect the system and wire the switches correctly. Incorrect wiring could lead to problems in the long run and can be dangerous if left unfixed.
