What Are Standby Generators?

Standby generators are essential for homeowners looking to safeguard against unexpected power outages. The units are permanently installed and provide seamless backup power when needed. These systems typically run on natural gas or propane, so they don’t depend on the power grid. In a utility grid outage, the generator activates, keeping your home up and running without interruption.

With Murrieta's warm summers and the potential for rolling blackouts, a backup generator can help maintain comfort and safety during power interruptions. Standby generators offer a reliable source of electricity during wildfire season and other regional events that impact utility service. This reliability helps Murrieta property owners reduce disruption and protect essential appliances and systems in their homes.

Reliable backup power is crucial for families in Murrieta. When the grid goes down, you lose more than just lights and electronics. Essential systems—like your fridge, heating and cooling systems, medical devices, and security—could stop working. A standby generator keeps these systems running, so you don’t have to worry about your family’s well-being when the power fails.

The Importance of Transfer Switches for Standby Generators

A transfer switch is as important as the generator itself. This device manages the power shift between your utility source and backup generator, helping your key systems stay powered when the utility fails. Without a transfer switch, your generator would not know when to turn on or off, leaving you with an unreliable and potentially dangerous setup.

Transfer switches come in two main types: 

• Automatic – An automatic transfer switch works well for most homeowners. When the utility power fails, the switch detects the outage and immediately moves the load to the generator. Once utility power returns, the system automatically shifts the load back, all without you lifting a finger.
• Manual – A manual transfer switch requires you to physically control the switch to direct power to hardwired appliances or critical systems. This option gives homeowners more control, especially if they only need to power specific systems, such as the refrigerator or HVAC, during an outage.

Proper installation ensures safe, efficient operation no matter which transfer switch you choose. If installed incorrectly, transfer switches can cause electrical shocks, fire, or damage to generators and appliances. Our team follows local and state code so your transfer switch setup meets all requirements.

What to Expect During Your Generator Installation

Understanding the steps involved in your generator installation provides peace of mind and sets clear expectations. We begin by evaluating your energy needs and the layout of your property to recommend a solution that aligns with your daily reliance on essential systems. Our assessments include reviewing your main service panel and identifying the appropriate location for the generator and transfer switch in accordance with Murrieta's safety codes and setback rules. We guide you through the permitting process required by the City of Murrieta, and we coordinate inspections where needed to ensure a compliant installation. By mapping out each phase, we help you prepare for utility downtime and the short-term adjustments required when integrating a standby generator. You can count on straightforward communication from our team throughout the process. Our attention to detail and procedural knowledge aims to create a process as seamless and efficient as possible for local property owners.
