The Right Generator for Your Home

Professional Generator Installation

Choosing a standby generator isn’t simply about buying the biggest model available.

The system needs to be properly sized based on what you want to power and your home’s electrical requirements.

Our team can help evaluate factors including:

  • Home electrical demand
  • Essential circuits
  • Heating and cooling equipment
  • Well and sump pumps
  • Major appliances
  • Generator placement
  • Available fuel source
  • Transfer switch requirements
  • Future backup power needs

From there, we’ll recommend generator options designed around your home and priorities.

Professional Installation From Start to Finish

A whole-home generator installation can involve electrical connections, fuel supply, equipment placement, transfer equipment, permits, and other requirements.

We’ll help coordinate the installation process so your new backup power system is properly set up and ready when you need it.

Is a Whole-Home Generator Right for You?

A standby generator can be particularly valuable if your home:

  • Experiences frequent power outages
  • Has a sump pump
  • Uses a private well
  • Depends on electric heating equipment or controls
  • Has refrigerated or frozen food you want to protect
  • Has family members who rely on powered equipment
  • Is frequently left unattended
  • Has a home office
  • Is in an area affected by severe storms
  • Has experienced extended outages in the past

You don’t have to wait until you’re sitting in the dark to start thinking about backup power.

We’ll evaluate your needs and help you determine whether a standby generator makes sense for your home.

Backup Power Designed Around Your Home

Not every homeowner needs the same generator setup.

Some homeowners primarily want to keep essential equipment running during an outage:

  • Furnace
  • Refrigerator
  • Sump pump
  • Well pump
  • Lights
  • Select outlets

Others want a system capable of supporting considerably more of the home.

We’ll discuss what you want to keep running during an outage and size the system accordingly.

The goal isn’t simply to sell you a generator.

It’s to build a backup power solution around what matters most when your power goes out.

Your Generator Needs to Be Ready Before the Storm

Whole-Home Generator Maintenance

A standby generator may spend most of its life waiting.

But when the power goes out, you need it to work.

Routine generator maintenance helps identify developing problems and keeps the system ready for an unexpected outage.

Generator Maintenance May Include:

  • General system inspection
  • Oil and fluid checks
  • Battery inspection
  • Filter inspection
  • Electrical connection inspection
  • Transfer system checks
  • Generator exercise verification
  • Visual inspection for leaks or damage
  • Operational testing
  • Manufacturer-recommended maintenance

Maintenance requirements vary by generator manufacturer and model.

Following the appropriate maintenance schedule helps keep your backup power system prepared for the next outage.
