Maintain A Normal Life During Power Outages

Automatic Home Generator

Model ASP

Every week, 3.5 million people experience

a power loss. A power loss interrupts your

home, interrupts your work, it interrupts

your life. More and more often, it is

becoming a reality for home and

business owners.

Weather isn’t the only reason power loss

is becoming more common, We have an

aging power grid. The power grid is one

of the most complex systems ever con-

structed, and very few new initiatives are

being launched to address the shortcom-

ing. Think about the last time a power

plant or transmission lines were built in

your area; then think of how many new

homes have been built over that same

time period. The need for an automatic

home generator has never been greater.

Totally Automatic

Things to Consider Before You Buy

Installing an automatic home generator

can put you and your family at ease. The

unit is permanently installed outside of

the home just like your air conditioner.

When you lose power, the generator will

automatically start itself and provides

power back to your house within 30

seconds. When the utility is restored,

the generator automatically shuts down

and waits for the next outage. Because

these units are automatic, we have you

covered whether you are home or away.

The unit gets its fuel directly from your

natural gas line or liquid propane tank.

There is no need to handle gasoline or

run a maze of extension cords.

Benefits of an Automatic Home Generator

There are several benefits to an automatic home generator: Preparedness, peace of

mind and protection to name a few. And, when you choose a Carrier®

generator there

are also benefits in service and quality that can’t be found with other manufacturers,

such as:

You’re Covered While Home or Away

l Your Carrier dealer, whom you trust to keep your heating and cooling system

maintained, can maintain the generator as well. You can keep all your needs

with one familiar face and one phone call.

l The unit cares for itself. The

generator will start the engine

and run test for approximately

12 minutes once a week. This

keeps the engine lubricated

for long-term reliability and

gives you the peace of mind

that it will run when you need

it the most.

l Carrier generators are sold

with all the parts needed for

installation. You may be paying

more for these “extras” with

other suppliers.

Technology

2-cylinder, 30 horsepower

engine runs on natural or LP

gas for lasting operation even

during the longest outage.

Totally automatic operation

means the generator starts

itself and automatically

begins supplying power to

selected circuits.

The Ultra Quiet Mode runs

once a week for 12 minutes

at a lower RPM to keep the

engine lubricated and to let

you know the system is

working properly.

Transfer switch and

emergency load center

senses loss of power to the

home, starts the generator,

and transfers the generator

power to the selected

circuits. Generator power is

automatically shut off when

main power is restored.

Sturdy, attractive cabinet is

factory mounted to a com-

posite base pad. It’s insulated

to minimize sound, louvered

to vent exhaust and coated

with a tough powder painted

finish. The cabinet is available

in steel or aluminum.

Warranty

The Carrier Automatic Home Generator is backed with a three-year limited parts

and two-year labor warranty. Ask your Carrier dealer for details.

The Safer, More Reliable Option

Indeed, portable generators are a less expensive option. However, we know that a

Carrier®

Automatic Home Generator will provide you better service and make you safer.

Consider the advantages of an automatic over a portable.

l Convenience: No need to go out in

potential danger to set up the unit,

make sure it has fuel, or run exten-

sion cords.

l Energy Efficient: Operating on natu-

ral gas or LP provides a cleaner

burning and less expensive fuel than

unleaded gasoline.

l More Power: Portables can provide

power to a few select conveniences;

a Carrier unit can provide electricity

to the whole home.

l Safety: When properly installed, the

automatic home generator is safer

to the home owner from carbon

monoxide emissions and safer to the

utility company employees from

electrical back feed to the power

lines.

l Built to Last: Units are built in steel

or aluminum cabinets for longer life.

Willis Carrier invented air conditioning in 1902. Over 100 years later, we’re proud to say Carrier®

systems are trusted in more

homes than any other brand.

Carrier continues to be on the forefront of innovative engineering and unsurpassed standards of excellence. So when

choosing a home comfort system, you’ll want to turn to the experts. Your Carrier dealer will evaluate your home, such as

designed specifically for you. And when you have an expert helping you make an educated decision, you’re going to feel
