If you have a standby generator for your home or
business, then you are one step ahead of many of
the population. There is an increased risk of
power outages due to climate change and the rise
in global power usage, so having a generator that
can jump in and continue to provide the power
that you need makes a lot of sense.

You wont have to worry about not being able to
use the TV, the water going cold, and all the
food in the freezer defrosting. If the power goes
down, as long as you have the right sort of
generator, you can last for days. It is like
having an insurance policy. If you are going
to buy a generator, it is important to get one
that is the right size for your needs, and for
this you need to calculate the wattage required
or get an electrician to do it for you. Whatever
type and size of generator you buy, it is a legal
requirement that you have a transfer switch. This
can be either a manual transfer switch or an
automatic transfer switch. A manual transfer
switch is less expensive but does have
disadvantages. As the name suggests, you have to
switch over to the generator by hand and then go
and start the generator. Not a lot of fun if
Storm Fred is blowing a hooley and youve got to
go outside to do that. Goodbye To All The Food
In The Freezer Furthermore, if you have things
that you need to keep powered and you happen to
be away from home for three days, then there

is nobody on hand to transfer and start the
generator. So, you can say goodbye to all that
food in the freezer, and to your tropical fish if
you have them. Equally, you have to shut down the
generator and switch back to the mains when the
power comes back up. Now, an automatic transfer
switch does all this for you. It detects when the
mains power goes down, starts the generator, and
when that is up and running at full power
switches over to the generator. This all happens
in a matter of seconds. Equally, when the mains
power is restored, the automatic transfer switch
will close down the generator and switch back to
the mains. So, it really is a matter of choice,
but despite the extra expense, an automatic
switch is by far and away the best idea.
