What is a permanent generator?

Permanent units are automatic generators installed in a fixed location next to a home or business.

• These units generally are directly wired into the main breaker panel and can operate the entire house in the event of an outage.
• In addition, they automatically turn themselves on when they sense a power fluctuation through an automatic transfer switch.
• While these units are the most expensive to purchase, they are also the most convenient to operate.
• Permanent generators typically run on propane, natural gas, or diesel.
