CRITERIA

What are the criteria for choosing your generator?

Selecting the right generator involves four key criteria: the appropriate power for your home, the available fuel, the transfer switch type, and monitoring. Our team will guide you through each of these choices to find the solution that best fits your needs.

Power tailored for your home

Power is measured in kW (kilowatts) depending on your appliances and the size of your home. Our smallest 10kW model covers essential circuits. To power your entire home, you'll need between 22 and 28kW.

Fuel choice

If your neighborhood is served by Énergir, natural gas is a stable and continuous solution. Propane takes over in areas without a gas network, with the installation of a dedicated tank.

Power Transfer Type

Automatic transfer starts the generator and switches power automatically in under 30 seconds. Our automatic transfer switch ensures continuous power, then automatically reverts to the Hydro-Québec grid once utility power is restored.

Remote Control Options

The Mobile Link app turns your cell phone into a monitoring station. Alerts report outages and maintenance in real time, and tracking works wherever your cell phone gets a signal.
