Backup power

The one thing on this site you buy hoping never to think about it again.

Everything happens before the outage

A standby generator is only as good as the decisions made months before it is needed: whether it was sized for the actual load, whether the transfer switch covers the circuits that matter, whether the gas line can feed it, and whether it has been run since it was installed.

Wamsley handles the whole sequence rather than dropping a unit on a pad.

The autumn list

There is a generator maintenance list every autumn, which is the sensible time to service a machine you are relying on through the winter. Getting on it is a phone call.

A standby generator on a concrete pad beside a rural house, with a meter and transfer switch mounted on a pole. — Generator, pad, transfer switch. Installed in daylight so it works in the dark.

A standby generator on a gravel bed against the cedar clad wall of a house, with the meter and disconnect above it. — Sited tight to the house, on its own pad, with the disconnect where a utility crew can reach it.
