Keep Your Lights On When the Power is Out

How Do Standby Generators Work?

A Honeywell backup generator automatically detects a power outage and delivers backup power to your home within seconds. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re covered – the generator will keep your power running for as long as the power is out – whether that’s for two hours or two weeks.

This short animation shows how a Honeywell home backup generator restores power to your home during a power outage - automatically.

  • Maybe it’s a storm or an equipment failure. In any case, the electricity you’re dependent on is suddenly gone.


• Your Generator Senses a Utility Power Disruption
  • Within seconds, your generator prepares to restore your home’s power.


• Your Generator Automatically Turns On
  • Your generator is up to speed and generating electricity.


• Your Electricity Is Restored
  • The automatic transfer switch sends generator power to your home and will continue providing power until your main power source returns.


• Utility Power Is Restored
  • Your generator systems detects when utility power is returned and restores utility power to your home. The system then returns the generator to standby mode.
