How Do Backup Generators Work?
Backup generators provide a reliable power source during outages by automatically or manually switching on when the main electrical supply fails. These systems are typically powered by fuels such as gasoline, propane, natural gas, or diesel. When an outage occurs, standby generators automatically detect the loss of power and start up within seconds, supplying electricity to essential circuits in your home. Once operational, backup generators convert mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy so that crucial appliances and systems continue to function seamlessly until the main power is restored.
Are Backup Generators Worth It?
Calgary experiences harsh winters, which can contribute to power outages throughout the city. A generator is a worthy investment if you want to protect your home against unforeseen power outages.
Some of the greatest benefits of backup generators include:
- Uninterrupted power supply: Backup generators provide an immediate power source during outages. This is particularly important for medical devices, refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning systems.
- Increased property value: Potential buyers are often attracted by the reliability and convenience of an uninterrupted power supply.
- Enhanced home safety: Security systems and outdoor lighting can go off during an outage, making your home vulnerable. A backup generator keeps the devices operational.
- Comfort and convenience: Power outages can be particularly inconvenient, especially during extreme weather conditions. A generator maintains climate control systems so that your home remains comfortable.
- Reliability during emergencies: During severe weather or natural disasters, a generator provides a consistent power source so that you can stay connected, informed, and safe.

What Is the Lifespan of a Generac Generator?
The lifespan of a Generac generator can vary based on several factors, including maintenance, usage frequency, and environmental conditions. However, on average, a well-maintained Generac generator can last between 20 to 30 years.
Home Backup Generator Installation
Knight is available 24 hours per day, 365 days a year including after-hours, weekends and holidays! The installation of a Generac home backup generator is a notable milestone, and it involves several steps:
- Choosing a suitable location outside the home for the generator
- Placing the generator and connecting it to the natural gas or LP fuel line
- Installing the transfer switch and wiring it to the electrical panel
- Testing the generator and ensuring its readiness for a power outage
Avoid the hassle of threading an extension cord through windows or doors with power supplied directly to your home. With your home backup generator, power is delivered safely and securely to your home’s electrical panel.
How Long Can a Backup Generator Run?
How long a backup generator can operate continuously depends largely on the type of generator and its fuel source. Portable generators typically run for 8 to 24 hours per tank of fuel, depending on their load and fuel capacity. Standby generators, which are permanently installed and connected to a fuel source like natural gas or propane, can run for extended periods – often days or even weeks – provided they have a continuous supply of fuel and receive regular maintenance. These systems are designed to turn on during power outages automatically and can operate as long as necessary to keep your home powered.
