Marion Whole-Home Generator Services

Keeping Your Home Powered with Standby Generators

A whole-home generator is more than just a backup power source—it’s peace of mind. When the lights go out due to a storm, a grid failure, or an unexpected outage, a standby generator automatically restores electricity, keeping your home comfortable and your essential appliances running. Unlike portable generators that require manual setup, whole-home generators turn on within seconds of a power loss, ensuring your household remains safe and fully powered.

At Knee's Electrical Service, we know how disruptive power outages can be. We offer professional generator services, including installation, repairs, and maintenance, to keep your backup system in peak condition. Our experienced electricians help homeowners in Marion, Kokomo, and throughout Grant County find the right generator to fit their needs, providing service with the same care and dedication we extend to our own families.

What Is a Standby Generator?

A standby generator, also known as a whole-home generator, is a permanently installed backup power system that keeps your home running when the electricity goes out. Unlike portable generators requiring manual setup, fuel refills, and constant monitoring, standby generators turn on automatically within moments of a power loss. They connect directly to your home’s electrical system and are powered by a steady fuel source, such as natural gas or propane, allowing for seamless operation without the hassle of extension cords or fuel storage.

When an outage occurs, a standby generator detects the disruption and signals the transfer switch to restore power to your home. Whether the outage lasts a few minutes or several days, your essential appliances, lights, and heating or cooling systems remain operational, providing comfort and security. 

With a standby generator, there’s no need to fumble in the dark, worry about food spoiling, or deal with the inconvenience of a powerless home. Instead, you gain reliable, uninterrupted electricity—automatically. A standby generator means peace of mind during severe weather or unexpected outages.
