Whole-home standby generators, installed & permitted

When the grid goes down, a standby generator senses it, starts itself, and powers your home automatically — usually within seconds. We install Generac and Kohler systems sized for your home, pull the permit, and hand you a system that just works.

Installed our whole-home Generac in two days and walked us through everything. Clean work, honest quote, and it ran perfectly through the last storm. Worth every penny.

Our panel was a mess and they fixed it without trying to sell us things we did not need. Explained everything in plain English. This is the electrician we will keep calling.
Danielle R. Google review
Called about a breaker that kept tripping, they diagnosed a loose connection behind a bedroom outlet the same day. Fast, tidy, and fairly priced.

Family-owned and it shows. The owner answered our questions himself and the crew treated our home with respect. Generator has been flawless.

FAQ

Straight answers to common questions

How much does a standby generator cost?

Every installation is different, so we quote each one after a free on-site assessment instead of publishing a single number. The total depends on the generator size, your fuel type, whether a concrete pad or gas-line work is needed, the transfer switch, and permitting. We give you a clear written quote before any work begins — no surprises.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days once the equipment, permit, and inspection are lined up. Lead time on the equipment itself varies by model and availability. We give you a realistic schedule up front rather than an optimistic guess.

Do I need a permit and inspection?

Yes — standby generator installations require an electrical permit and inspection, and requirements vary by city and county. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection as part of the job, so you do not have to manage that process yourself.

Will it run my air conditioning?

In most cases, yes, if the system is sized and load-managed correctly. A/C compressors are the largest starting loads in a home, which is why sizing and load management matter so much. We design the system around your actual equipment.

What is the difference between a standby and a portable generator?

A portable generator has to be set up, fueled, and connected manually, and it cannot be safely back-fed into your home wiring. A standby generator is permanently installed, runs on your natural gas or propane supply, starts automatically, and powers your home through a transfer switch.

What is an automatic transfer switch?

The automatic transfer switch (ATS) senses a utility outage and safely disconnects your home from the grid before connecting the generator, then reverses the process when power returns. It is the safety-critical component that makes unattended backup power possible.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

A breaker trips because of an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, a loose connection, or a ground fault. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis. We trace the circuit to find the real cause so the repair actually solves the problem instead of masking it.

Is it safe to reset a breaker that keeps tripping?

Resetting it once to see whether it holds is reasonable. If it trips again immediately, stop resetting it — a breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job by preventing a fire. That is the point to call a licensed electrician.
