How does a standby generator work during a Buffalo snowstorm?

A standby generator monitors utility power continuously. When it detects an outage, it starts within seconds and transfers power to your electrical panel. When utility power returns, the system switches back automatically.

What fuel source do home generators use?

Most standby generators run on natural gas or propane. Natural gas is common in Buffalo's city neighborhoods; propane works for suburban and rural homes without a gas line.
