In our area of Massachusetts, strong winter storms can cause power outages in the blink of an eye. Having a house with no power and no heat can be more than annoying … it can be dangerous! 

That’s why we recommend a Honeywell automatic standby generator to all our customers.

A reliable standby generator from Honeywell will ensure that the heat is on, hot water is coming out of your faucets, fresh food is in the refrigerator, and the TV and home appliances are up and running – in other words, life as usual. 

Your Honeywell automatic standby generator sits outside your home or business just like a central air conditioner, while the transfer switch is located next to the main breaker box. The generator and transfer switch work together to monitor utility power around the clock. You don’t need to lift a finger!

  • Within seconds of sensing utility power is lost, the generator starts automatically to supply power.
  • When the return of utility power is sensed, it automatically shuts down ...
  • ... and returns to standby mode, ready for the next outage. 

North Shore Fuel offers Honeywell automatic standby generators in a variety of sizes depending on the types of appliances you wish to power during an outage. One of our generator specialists will visit your home for a FREE consultation to help you choose the right generator for your needs and budget.

Don’t suffer through the next power outage without heat, light, and all the comforts of home. Take a look at our generators page and then give us a call at 781-202-6937.

Wishing you and yours a warm, comfortable, and safe 2026!
