Generators
Energy on Demand
More and more consumers are adding natural gas backup generators as a key system in their homes. They ensure on-demand, dependable energy during power outages. Fueled continually by natural gas, generators are fully automatic. Within seconds of an outage, the unit comes on, supplies power, and switches off when power returns - without any help from the homeowner. Units are sound insulated and comply with emissions standards.
