Standby generators are appliances permanently installed at your commercial facility or multi-family properties and are connected directly to the electrical panel.

Why a Standby Generator is Better Than a Portable Generator
There are plenty of property and business owners in the area that don’t see a difference between these two types of generators. All they see is the price of a portable generator and think that’s good enough for them. Here’s the thing though, portable generators are a temporary solution at best. Standby generators, because they are automatically connected to your electrical system and are powered by either natural gas or propane, they provide a seamless transition of power.
A portable generator, meanwhile, requires property and business owners to get the generator out and manually connect it to their electrical system via a transfer switch or cord connect. And since portable generators run on regular gasoline, it will need to be refueled regularly and there is the possibility that it causes carbon monoxide to fill the space you’re occupying.
For reliable power in a time of need, standby generators are worth the price.
