No…the generator fuel costs would be much more expensive than buying power from the utility company since their cost to produce electricity is divided among thousands of customers. Our automatic generators are produced for use as backup to utility power specifically and should not be used as primary power. Please refer to the warranty policy for additional information.

No, standby generators are not designed to run as a replacement to utility power and the fuel costs alone would make this option more expensive than buying power from your local utility. Our automatic generators are produced for use as backup to utility power specifically and should not be used as primary power.
