An electrical backup (or standby) generator is a secondary unit that serves as a backup power source for your property, appliances and machinery. It automatically switches on when the main power supply fails to provide electricity, or it can be manually turned on to switch your electricity source from the main supply to the backup generator.
A backup generator works by connecting to your main power supply via an automatic transfer switch (ATS). This switch detects a power cut or failure in the main power supply and automatically switches to the backup generator, restoring electricity to the property.
Yes. To install a commercial or domestic backup generator, it is highly recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified and trusted electrician. At JRP, we have worked with numerous properties across Northamptonshire to safely and correctly install backup generators.
Backup generators can be installed outside domestic or commercial properties. To meet safety and building regulations, they must be at least 5 feet away from entrance points and installed onto a flat, level and stable surface, with exhaust fumes facing away from buildings. Due to these restrictions, it is best to request a backup generator electrician to review your site and install your generator correctly.
The cost of a backup generator depends on the size of your property and its electrical requirements. You will want a generator that can handle your voltage needs. You will also have to consider both the cost of the unit and the installation process. The size of your generator can influence its location, which in turn can affect the final price.
