Standby Generator

Generac whole house generators and automatic systems automatically kick in when the power goes out. Whole house generators run on natural gas and can either be connected to the home’s entire electrical system or just the most essential items like refrigerators, freezers, and Wi-Fi. Portable home backup generators are also available. Your R-Electric team can help you decide.
