No one can predict a power outage. But when the unexpected happens, you can minimize downtime with a reliable standby generator. Whether you’re inside Edmonton’s city limits or on an acreage, a standby generator will keep your home powered and functional until electricity is restored.
Read along with us at TRIC Power Products as we explore a few of our top standby generators, in no particular order. We’re Edmonton’s chosen one-stop shop for generator services, including repairs, installations, and maintenance.

A Proper Fit Depends on More Than Just Wattage
While these generators are a solid starting point, there’s much more that goes into choosing the best standby generator for your home. For example, while wattage is important, aspects like surge load sizing are also essential to ensuring your home’s electronics aren’t overloaded. In order to ensure your home’s needs are fully accounted for, seek out a certified generator specialist, like TRIC Power Products, to support you.
