Do I need a generator in Auburn?+

Auburn and Northern California experience PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoffs) during fire season, storm outages, and occasional grid overloads during extreme heat. If you work from home, have medical equipment, or want to keep your AC and refrigerator running during multi-day outages, a generator provides peace of mind.

How does an automatic standby generator work?+

When power goes out, the automatic transfer switch detects the outage within seconds and signals the generator to start. Within 10–20 seconds, your home has full power. When utility power returns, the system automatically shuts down and switches back. No manual action required — it works even when you're away.
