Whole-house generators protect you during power outages.

That means your refrigerator will keep running—you won’t have to throw away half of your groceries. Your lights will stay on—hold those candles for the next romantic dinner! Also, the Wi-Fi will keep working.

Your heating and cooling system won’t miss a beat either so you can stay comfortable. Your sump pump will remain powered so that you can avoid flooding and water damage.

More and more Massachusetts homeowners are investing in standby generators. With all the unpredictable weather and surprise outages, it’s not hard to see why. With a constant supply of electricity, you’ll always be prepared. You can trust our team at Precision Home Services to help you choose and install a generator that meets all your needs.

How Does a Whole-House Generator Operate?

Whole house generators sit on a pad outside your Northborough, MA, home. They’re sometimes referred to as fixed standby generators. Whenever there is an outage or your equipment malfunctions, your generator kicks on. It automatically begins powering your home.

When the generator detects a disruption in the current, an automatic transfer switch disconnects from your utility and sends electricity to your panel. Running on your home’s natural gas line, the generator can keep your home powered for days. When the electric company restores service, your generator will return to standby mode.

How Is a Whole-House Generator Different From a Portable Generator?

Portable generators are excellent for outdoor activities like camping and tailgating. They are designed to power individual items like lights or appliances.

However, they don’t provide nearly as much power as a whole-house generator. Portable generators are also more prone to overheating or energy overload.

Whole-house generators are permanent home fixtures that ensure you’ll never be without power. Even if your home loses power while you’re away, you can be sure your appliances will keep working. Whole-house generators also increase your home value.

“I was very pleased with the yearly service performed for our Whole House 22 k.W Generac Generator. The service Tech, a MA licensed Journeyman Electrician, was overseeing and working with an Electrician Apprentice doing the Yearly Maintenance. Precision Home Service Techs are well trained, this was evidence of that. Cordial, pleasant interaction with me as a I raised a few questions of them. I have high praise for Precision Home Services and will continue to use their services for our HV/AC and Backup Generator and future plumbing needs as well. In my opinion, they’ve earned my repeat business to keep my property running effectively. Thanks, Bill Y South Grafton”

“Jake did a great job. He completed the annual maintenance on a Generac whole house generator. And he identified a fuel jet error that needed to be fixed. He also found the part that he needed to fix it in my basement! I highly recommend Precision and Jake.”
