Generator Basics

---

Home stand-by generators are designed to run on one fuel source either natural gas or liquid propane. We recommend at least 250 gallons for our automatic standby units. However, each home is different and our Texxas Power professional will recommend the size needed for your home.

 The transfer switch is an essential part of the home backup system. Its primary function is to prevent your home from being powered by utility and generator power at the same time. If utility power is lost, the generator control panel senses the loss and tells the transfer switch to close off the connection with utility and complete the connection with the generator so it can begin providing power to the home.

 Mobile Link and Infohub™ wireless monitoring tell you what you want to know about your generator - when you want to know it.  Using your computer, tablet or smart phone, standby generator owners can instantly check their generator's system status from home or away.
