Choosing a Standby Generator for Your Home: A Fully Automatic Backup Power Solution

In an era where power outages can disrupt daily life, having a reliable backup power source is essential. A fully automated standby generator system is the most comprehensive and hassle-free solution for ensuring backup power supply to your home. Unlike portable generators, this system is permanently installed and seamlessly integrated with your electrical supply, automatically activating during power failures.

Why Choose a Fully Automatic Backup Power System?

A fully automated standby generator package is an advanced and robust backup power solution designed to provide seamless electricity during power outages. Unlike manual or portable options, this system does not require any intervention from the homeowner. The generator automatically detects power loss, starts up, and supplies electricity to your home within seconds. When the mains power is restored, the system shuts down and returns to standby mode

Key Features of a Fully Automated Backup System

• Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS): Ensures transition from the grid to generator power when an outage occurs.
• Permanent Installation: Integrated with your home’s electrical supply, requiring professional installation.
• Minimal Maintenance: Once installed, the system requires only routine servicing to ensure optimal performance.
• Reliable Power Supply: Ensures continuity for essential appliances, lighting, heating, and security systems.

Installation Considerations

Installing a standby generator is a significant project that involves multiple components:

• Mains Supply Connection: This system requires a direct connection to your incoming mains electricity supply. The installation process is invasive and must be handled by qualified professionals.
• Power Capacity Assessment: Homes typically have consumer units rated at 60, 80, or 100 amps in Single Phase. It is crucial to determine your home’s electrical load to ensure the right generator size is chosen.
• Location and Survey Requirements: Depending on your location and specific needs, an on-site survey may be required. Our engineers can assess your property, but this service is chargeable.
• Compliance & Certification: After installation, electrical certification is provided to confirm compliance with safety standards.
• Special consideration is required if your home currently has or you’re thinking of having solar panels installed

How much does a Home Standby Generator Cost?

The cost of installing a fully automated backup power system starts at approximately £10,000 plus VAT. This includes:

• Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
• Electrical installation and certification
• Diesel generator supply and installation
• Delivery and commissioning

While this is a significant investment, it provides long-term reliability and peace of mind, ensuring your home remains powered during outages.

Is This the Right Solution for You?

If you are considering a fully automatic standby generator, we need to confirm the details of your incoming mains electricity supply. This information is typically available on your consumer unit. If you are unsure, we can arrange an engineer visit to assess your needs and recommend the best solution.

Conclusion

A fully automated standby generator is the ultimate backup power solution for homeowners seeking reliability, convenience, and uninterrupted electricity. Although the installation process is more involved and requires a higher initial investment, the benefits far outweigh the costs. For those who experience frequent power outages or want complete peace of mind, this is an ideal solution.
