WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT?

A standby home generator keeps your power on during an outage. It’s installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically — whether you’re home or away, all within seconds of a power outage. Plus, home generators run on propane or natural gas, so there’s no refueling.

HOW IT WORKS

1. UTILITY POWER IS LOST

Maybe it’s a storm or an equipment failure. In any case, the electricity you’re dependent on is suddenly gone.

2. YOUR GENERATOR SENSES A UTILITY POWER DISRUPTION

Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home’s power.

3. YOUR GENERATOR AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON

Your generator is up to speed and generating electricity.

4. YOUR ELECTRICITY IS RESTORED

The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home and will continue providing power until your main power source returns.

5. UTILITY POWER IS RESTORED

Your generator system detects when utility power is returned and restores utility power to your home. The system then returns the generator to standby mode.

Mendel installs both Kohler and Honeywell generators that will automatically detect a power outage and deliver backup power to your home within seconds. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re covered – the generator will keep your power running for as long as the power is out – whether that’s for two hours or two weeks.
