Questions?
Which Generator Is Best for You?
There are a few kinds of generators and not every kind is best for your home. Luckily, we can provide a few criteria to consider before installing your first backup generator.
Backup generator
A backup generator requires manual control, meaning whenever your power goes out, you have to turn on the generator manually.
Standby generator
A standby generator requires professional expertise to properly install, but functions automatically, meaning it senses when your power goes out and provides power without manual control. These generators are fueled by natural gas or liquid propane.

Standby Generator FAQ
Can you set up a standby generator in your garage?
No, you should not set up a standby generator in your garage or anywhere else inside your home. This is because generators release carbon monoxide (CO), rendering them unsafe to install in any enclosed spaces. Standby generators should be installed outside for safety.
What are the best standby generators?
At Haller, we believe the best standby generators are Generac brand. Our electricians can help guide you to the best standby generator for your particular needs.
What size standby generator do I need?
The best way to determine the standby generator size you need is by adding up the wattage of the essential appliances in your home and then adding a 20% safety margin to this total. Most houses should be sufficiently powered by a standby generator between 10 and 20kW. Our electricians can help you choose the best standby generator size for your home.
How long do standby generators last?
While the lifespan of a standby generator will vary depending on factors such as how well it’s maintained and the size of the generator, most should last between 20 and 40 years.
Is a standby generator worth it?
While you won’t rely on your standby generator daily, they will give you peace of mind that you’ll maintain power in your home during storms and inclement weather. If your area encounters winter or summer storms frequently, a standby generator is worthwhile to have.
