What Is a Generator?

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output. It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

4 Advantages of Whole-House Generator Installation

Reliable

Whole-home generators turn on within seconds of your power going out – and they can work for hours without quitting. You’ll never have to worry about being without electricity again with an adequate fuel supply. They are the safest and hassle-free way to keep all your electrical essentials running during a power outage. A whole-home generator is wise investment if you live in an area where hurricanes and thunderstorms are common.

Peace of Mind

Having whole-house surge protection installed can be a crucial selling point that differentiates one home on the market from another. Prospective buyers could view this as one less thing to worry about and feel comfortable spending more money for the extra level of protection.

Full Electrical System Protection

Although the primary function of a whole-house surge protector is to prevent home appliances and electronics from damage, it also protects your entire electrical system. When a short surge comes from your home appliance on a particular circuit, it sends the surge back via the breaker panel and is then shunted.

Protection Against Power Surges

In an unprecedented event like a hurricane, ice storm, or severe thunderstorm, electricity is usually the first thing to go. A whole-home generator protects your home against blackouts and power surges that would otherwise leave you in the dark – often for days.

Whole-Home Generator FAQ

Do generators have to be maintained?

All generators require periodic maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, to ensure maximum performance for years of reliable service. Scheduled maintenance kits are available, and many authorized dealers offer annual maintenance contracts for a worry-free ownership experience. We recommend you have your unit serviced every six months by an authorized independent service dealer. Refer to the owner’s manual for routine maintenance procedures and schedules.

How much will generator installation cost me?

Generators vary in price. Factors that affect price include whether it’s a standby generator or portable generator, the unit’s electrical capacity or wattage, and the unit’s features. Usually, standby generators start at thousands of dollars up to around $8,000. Portable generators, nevertheless, start as low as $2,800 with installation. We at Five Star Electrical Group offer generator financing. Generator maintenance plans also help give you peace of mind and ensure the longevity of your generator. Keep in mind that the value a generator can provide you isn’t something that can be measured by money alone. Generators provide owners with a sense of security and reliability that you and your loved ones (or your business operations) will be protected in the event of an emergency. Trust us when we say, we’ve seen it many times, when the power goes out, having a generator is priceless!

What size generator do I need?

Generators give homeowners and business owners the ability to power everything from their most essential appliances and electronics to their lighting and their entire home. The size of the generator your home or building needs depends on what you’re wanting to have it power in the event that your electricity goes out. Size, when discussing generators, usually refers not to the physical size of the generator, but to its electrical capacity instead. If you’ll want to keep your air conditioner, refrigerator, and television running simultaneously, you can determine the electrical capacity you’ll need by adding up the total watts of each piece of equipment to get the amount.

Our generator installation experts here at Five Star Electrical Group are happy to assist you with determining the size of generator you need. Estimating your needs is a part of the generator installation work.
