Why Choose an Automatic Standby Generator?

Generator Installtion by Navesink Elecgtrical ContractimgPower outages don’t follow a schedule. Whether it’s a summer storm, downed line, or unexpected grid failure, losing power at home can put your comfort, safety, and peace of mind at risk. At Navesink Electrical Contracting, Inc., we specialize in selling and installing Generac automatic standby generators — the most trusted name in backup power — to protect homes and families across Monmouth County.

If you live in New Jersey, we can help you choose and install a reliable backup generator system that powers on automatically — no matter the time, weather, or circumstances.

What Is an Automatic Standby Generator?

Unlike portable generators that require manual setup and refueling, an automatic standby generator is permanently installed outside your home — just like a central A/C unit. It’s connected directly to your home’s natural gas or liquid propane (LP) supply, so it runs without interruption or the need for gasoline.

As soon as a power outage is detected, the generator turns on automatically and delivers electricity straight to your home’s breaker panel. When power returns, it shuts itself off — ready for the next time it’s needed.

Benefits of a Generac Automatic Standby Generator

We exclusively install Generac standby generators because they are proven, dependable, and built for long-term use in residential settings.

Here’s what sets them apart:

✅ Automatic Operation
No need to be home to flip a switch. The system starts and stops on its own — within seconds of a power outage.

✅ No Refueling Needed
These generators run on natural gas or LP fuel, eliminating the hassle and safety risks of storing gasoline.
✅ Safe, Direct Power
Power flows straight to your home’s electrical panel. No extension cords. No open windows. No guesswork.

✅ 24/7 Protection
Whether you’re away on vacation or asleep during a storm, your home stays powered and protected.

In fact, the American Red Cross recommends permanently installed standby generators as a safer, more reliable option than portable generators — especially for households with children, elderly residents, or medical equipment needs.
