Generators serve one main purpose: to make sure you’ve got electricity when you need it, especially in the case of a natural disaster or other emergency situation. One day, your safety may depend on the reliability of your residential backup generator. We’re here to make sure that if that day comes, your whole house generator fires right up and delivers the power you need.
Whether you already have a home standby generator or you’re in the market for a new one, Asbury Electric can help you find the right solution to keep the power flowing.
Never be left in the dark again!
Asbury Electric offers Generac generator sales and services, providing you with a reliable backup power source and peace of mind during storms and outages.
New Backup Power Generators for Your Home
Asbury Electric specializes in Generac Home Standby generators. As you shop for your new generator, keep in mind there is no one-size-fits-all solution. For example, if someone purchased a 24KW Generac Home Standby generator without getting an electrical load calculation done by one of our professionally trained generator technicians, they could end up spending thousands more than they should in upfront costs, as well as higher fuel costs.
We’re meticulous when it comes to installing your generator and offer financing so you can get your generator when you need it. Our generator sizing specialist electricians know all the ins and outs of residential systems and are qualified to give you exactly what you want and make sure it’s done right. In addition, we are able to put in a new load management system that reduces the strain of the generator by prioritizing certain circuits, which would allow you to use a smaller, more efficient generator.
Generac Home Generator Repairs
You have to take care of your generator if you want it to take care of you. Homes with existing generators should have a technician from Asbury Electric visit for regular inspections, maintenance and repairs at least once a year. Our lead generator electrician is the best in the business. He was an automotive mechanic before entering our 4-year apprenticeship, and he really knows his stuff. Now certified as a Generac Air-Cooled specialist, our crew has got you covered regardless of the kind of generator you have.
When you choose Asbury Electric to care for your generator, you have much to look forward to. Our service agreements include testing your generator once or twice a year by simulating a power outage and testing your system under load. We make sure that your transfer switch and generator are working properly. Then, we complete the service by changing the oil, filters and spark plugs and doing a complete safety check. We even do valve adjustments! This is rare in our industry.
The Benefits of Having a Standby Generator at Home
Almost everyone has experienced a power outage before, and sometimes, repairs may take long and lead to extended periods of downtime. When you have a generator, you can restore power to your home and minimize the effects of the power outage. If any of these apply to you, you need a generator on deck immediately:
- You experience a lot of inclement weather: Virginia is a rather temperate state, but we still experience storms year-round, including the occasional hurricane traveling up the coast. Heavy wind, rain and snow can cause power outages that last for days. With a Generac home standby generator, you can rest easy knowing your home will stay powered up, even when the weather takes out power on the whole block.
- You work from home: The work-from-home movement is at its peak, and if you’re like millions of others, your home’s electricity makes it possible for you to earn your livelihood. Don’t let anything get in the way of that — invest in a home standby generator and stay on task for as long as you need to.
- You rely on electrical appliances: Electricity is about more than lighting. Depending on your appliances, it may be necessary to power your water heater, oven, medical devices and other essentials. A residential backup generator can provide access to power, giving you some peace of mind, knowing that you and your loved ones are cared for at all times.
Generac Generator FAQ
The following are answers to common questions we receive about Generac generators:
1. What Are the Differences Between Portable and Whole-Home Generators?
Portable generators are small, temporary, fuel-powered units you set up yourself, while whole-home generators are large, permanently installed systems that automatically provide power to an entire house with natural gas or propane. They differ in power capacity, installation complexity and uses, with portable units being affordable for emergencies and whole-home units being more convenient and reliable for whole-home backup.
2. Which Whole-Home Generator Is Most Reliable for Power Outages?
Generac whole-home generators are a top brand for their reliability in power outages due to their automatic operation and advanced technology. These generators feature WiFi connectivity and remote monitoring, automatic power transfer and reliable engines, so you can count on them to provide reliable power to your entire home in an outage. They are also built for durable and clean power delivery, and are backed by an extensive support network.
3. What Is the Average Cost To Install a Whole-House Generator?
The cost to install a whole-house generator will depend on its size and other features. Factors like the generator’s capacity, fuel type, and complexity of the installation can also affect the final price. Speaking with your generator installer can help determine the best size for your home and provide a more accurate estimate.
4. Can I Buy a Generac Generator and Install It Myself?
It’s generally not recommended to install a Generac generator by yourself since doing so can lead to safety risks, void the warranty and even cause non-compliance with electrical codes. A qualified professional will know how to work with your home’s main panel and make the complex electrical connections to safely and efficiently install your generator. They can also make sure it follows all local, state and national electrical codes.
