Automatic Stand-by Generators
Nearly all American homes experience a power outage sometime during the year. To some, these outages are considered a nuisance, yet for many they can cause hardships or even health hazards. Propane/natural gas emergency generators can eliminate power interruption, the possibility of food spoilage, loss of air conditioning or heat, inability to use medical or electrical devices and security system loss. A generator not only improves your home comfort, but it also adds value to your property. Right now we are installing Kohler generators and have very happy customers! Don’t wait for the next storm… contact us today for your automatic stand-by generator!

- External indicator lights provide an easy way for you to tell the status of your generator without opening the enclosure

FAQ about Automatic Stand-by Generators:
What does the generator run on?
Automatic stand-by generators can be powered by either natural gas or propane. For those who have oil, propane will be used. For those who use natural gas, the meter may need to be upgraded.
What size generator do I need?
The correct generator size for your needs depends on what utilities you would like to have backed up during a power outage. Necessities (ex: water, heat, sump pump, refrigerator, a few essential lights/plugs) can be easily handled by a smaller unit such as a 7kW or 8kW. Additional options can be handled by larger units ranging from 10kW- 20kW. Contact us today to schedule a free estimate.
Does the generator start and run automatically?
How far from the house can the generator be?
What is the noise level of an automatic stand-by generator?
Noise from an automatic stand-by generator is often described as a “hum of a lawnmower.” We have never had a customer complain about the noise level.
What does the generator rest on?
Kerivan-Lane offers several different pad options for the generator to rest on. These options can be discussed with one of our Equipment Experts.
Will my generator need any permits or inspections?
Yes. Once the work is completed, our office will schedule your electrical inspection (for which you need to be home) and our plumbers will schedule your gas inspection (for which you may need to be home). Once both of the inspections pass, we will come back to your property to activate your generator and answer any questions you may have.
