Benefits of permanent standby generators

Many people have felt the frustration of losing power for several days and being forced to throw away food or deal with not having hot water. When more severe storms knock out power for a week or two, some people are forced to temporarily leave their homes.

A permanent generator from Grand Bay Electric can end those problems. With a properly sized home generator, you won't need to empty your refrigerator or move into a hotel. There will be no need to call upon friends if you need to take showers, wash clothes, or enjoy the comfort of heated or air-conditioned living space. When the grid goes down, a home generator comes to the rescue with backup electrical power.

Our generators also offer the option for Mobile Link control, allowing you to run your generator remotely from anywhere. Gone are the days of hoping you have enough gas to keep your portable generator running. Get complete peace of mind with the ability to keep your generator working with the push of a button.

The Protector Series diesel systems set a whole new standard in residential and light commercial backup generators. Since building and zoning codes can significantly vary from one area to another, the only solution seemed to be custom-engineered, costly systems. But the diesel-powered Protector series is the only automatic generator with a Code Ready feature, a set of common options that are preconfigured to adapt to any municipal codes or building requirements.

At Grand Bay Electric, we know that permanent standby generators are a significantly better option for homeowners than portable models. Portable generators can pose safety hazards if they're not set up or operated correctly.

By contrast, a permanent standby generator is installed in a safe location and has built-in controls to ensure safe operation under all conditions. Natural gas and propane are the preferred fuels for permanent home generators.

Grand Bay Electric installs home generators that are designed to come on automatically when utility-supplied electricity is interrupted. Special circuitry is installed between the generator and your main electrical service panel can allocate standby electrical power to different circuits. This control circuitry ensures that key home systems (water heaters, HVAC system, refrigerator, etc.) can keep operating.

With a portable generator, you have to pick and choose what's worth turning on and for how long, and that only lasts until you run out of gas. Those problems will not be an issue with a permanent generator.

Get comfort & security with an expertly-installed whole-house generator

Severe weather is something that is unavoidable. It could be something as common as a thunderstorm taking out the power lines, or it could be something much more damaging. No matter what happens, be prepared for the next power outage with a new generator.
