Standby generators operate automatically as needed. They do this through the use of an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), which can detect when the regular power supplier goes off-line. The ATS automatically transfers the load back to the utility company once steady power has been re-established.

The GenSet exercises itself once a week and is fueled by natural gas, propane, or diesel. Yearly maintenance is required on the generator, like any engine, and can be performed by the owner or through our service department.

Alternate Power offers its' "True Tracker" Monitoring System to keep track of a generator's on/off functions so that problems can be detected early, before an emergency situation arises.
