Whole-Home & Standby Generators

Unlike portable generators, standby generators provide backup power automatically when an outage occurs. They do not require manual setup, extension cords, or refueling during a storm. Instead, standby systems are permanently connected directly to your home’s electrical system, meaning they are “standing by” to jump in when needed. Standby generators can be configured and sized to power only essential systems or the entire house, depending on your needs. Ace Hardware Home Services installs whole-home standby generators in the Philadelphia area to help you maintain power seamlessly during an outage.

Maintenance

Generator Maintenance

Regular maintenance plays a big role in keeping your generator ready for unexpected outages. During an annual generator checkup, our technicians inspect major components, test the battery, review fuel and electrical connections, and run the system under load to make sure it will work as it should. Maintenance also includes checking safety controls, monitoring fluid levels, and identifying wear that could affect reliability. Routine service helps extend the life of your generator and reduces the likelihood of problems during severe weather.
