GENERATOR VS BATTERY BACKUP: whats the difference?

Quick rule of thumb:
 Standby generator (Generac) = longer runtime, great for extended outages
 Battery backup = silent, instant switchover, great for essentials and shorter outages

The best option depends on your loads, your home, and what you actually want to keep running.

If youre in the Lower Mainland, well help you pick the right setup and install it clean and code-compliant.

MYTH: A portable generator is basically the same as standby.

Reality: portable units can help in a pinch, but theyre not the same for safety, convenience, or reliability.

Standby generator benefits:
 Automatic start during an outage
 Proper transfer equipment (safer for your home and the grid)
 Designed to run longer, with monitoring and maintenance options
