In short, a generator uses natural gas or propane and turns it into electricity. When the power goes out, a transfer switch is triggered. This switches the home power source over to the backup generator instead of utilities. A generator can then run indefinitely on natural gas, or it can also use propane sources that are available. The gas source is converted to electrical energy within the generator, and this is then transferred to the home.
Modern generator designs are sleek and don’t disrupt the aesthetics of your home, regardless of where they are placed. The most important factor is that the generator should be in a place accessible for maintenance. NWI Generator also has unique concrete pads that we use for installation to allow the generator to rest on level ground. There are also a few rules about home generator locations.

With a whole home generator, everything in your home will operate as if the power never went out. Everything in your home will be powered as normal using the generator instead of your typical utilities. With a partial home generator, only select circuits are powered. This may include certain appliances (such as a refrigerator or sump pump), outlets, lights, etc. Partial home generators also work well for essential powered items, including water supply, life support necessities, and elevators.
In short, whole home generators power the ENTIRE house, whereas partial home generators power only what is selected.
We keep our generator installation process simple and transparent. The process is below.
