Carrier Generators: the trusted solution for emergency power

When power goes out, your comfort, productivity and security are on the line. Our range of standby generators can run on natural or LP gas and have automatic start-up and shutdown. Implemented and maintained by ABEL Building Solutions, our standby generators get going when you need them the most. Models are listed by power rating capacities.

How it Works

Once your standby generator has been installed outside of your home or business, the automatic transfer switch is installed next to your main distribution panel. With an air-cooled system, you can identify the circuits you want to protect, then match those circuits on your distribution panel to the transfer switch;s load center. Larger generators may protect all circuits with an appropriate transfer switch.

The system provides monitoring of incoming voltage form the utility line around the clock. When utility power is interrupted, the transfer switch senses the problem and signals the generator to start. The automatic transfer switch will then safely close off the utlity power line and open a new power line from the generator. Within seconds, your home standby system will supply electricty to your pre-selected circuits.

When utility line voltage returns, the transfer switch will then re-transfer the electrical load back to the utility source and resume montioring subsequent utility loss.

Sizing a Generator

When choosing a generator, you must first decide how many circuits or rooms in your home or small business will need protection. The more circuits that require protection, the largest the generator you’ll need.
