Never Go Without Power Again
Electrical power outages hit without warning. At best they are an inconvenience, but at their worst they can lead to thousands of dollars in damages. Automatic stand-by generators provide the reliable protection you need at an affordable price. A continuous fuel supply to either propane or natural gas ensures fully automatic, hassle free back-up power for years to come.
How Does An Automatic Stand-by Generator System Work?
An automatic stand-by generator system monitors the power coming to your home from the electric utility (Commonwealth Edison). When the generator senses that there has been a power outage it automatically starts and transfers over to emergency power. When utility power is restored, the generator senses it and automatically turns itself off and transfers your home back to the utility power. This happens automatically whether you are at home or away. Even if you are at work or on vacation, you can rest assured that your home is protected. Whether you want to back up your entire electrical system or just a few key circuits such as sump pumps, refrigerators/freezers and furnaces, Burke Electric is here to help.

Introducing the new line of automatic standby generators from General Electric featuring the patented Symphony II Power Management System. The newly released line for 2011 allows you to enjoy the benefits of whole house coverage without the price or fuel consumption of a larger generator. The Symphony II Power Management System monitors the wattage being used while your generator is running and delays large current devices (such as air conditioning units, ovens, heating pumps) from starting until there is adequate power. Individual low voltage and high voltage modules are installed between the transfer switch and up to eight high wattage devices in your home. The Symphony II allows you to manage these high wattage devices in order of priority. This power management allows for a smaller generator. The 11kw unit is enough to power a small to medium sized home. Burke Electric proudly provides standby generators by General Electric in our exclusive GE sales area in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. To order your GE generator or to schedule a Professional In-Home Site Survey, please call today or fill out our Request Service form and someone will contact you as soon as possible. .
Hassle-Free Installation
One of our technicians will come to your home and perform a site survey to help you determine the size and placement of your generator. Installation procedures set forth by the manufacturers are very important. Improper installations are a leading cause for system failures and the manufacturers will not honor your warranty if your generator is installed incorrectly. You can rest assured that our factory trained technicians will professionally install your new generator system to the manufacturer's specifications.

Burke Electric offers scheduled maintenance services as well as 3 year maintenance agreements to help keep your generator system running at top performance for years to come.
