Questions
How long will a standby generator run during a power outage?
Natural gas generators run indefinitely with utility supply. Propane and diesel units depend on fuel tank size. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.
Is generator installation a DIY project?
No. Installations require high-voltage electrical work and gas connections. Local codes mandate professional installation by authorized dealers like Benchmark Electric.
What is the difference between whole house and managed power systems?
Whole house systems power all circuits simultaneously. Managed systems use load management to prioritize appliances, allowing smaller generators to handle essential needs.
How often does a standby generator need maintenance?
Annual maintenance or every 200 engine hours, whichever comes first. Battery replacement every two years ensures reliable startup during outages.
Can Benchmark Electric service all generator brands?
Yes. While we specialize in Cummins, we repair Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Caterpillar, and other major brands with stocked parts for quick repairs.
Does Benchmark Electric offer financing options?
Yes. We provide financing solutions to help homeowners and businesses invest in standby power systems without upfront cost barriers.
