Whole-Home & Commercial Standby

Sized right, installed right

A generator install is only as good as its transfer switch and load plan. We do the load calculation, set the unit, wire the automatic transfer switch, and coordinate gas and inspection — a complete, permit-ready installation, not a drop-off.

FAQ

Generator questions

Whole-home or essential circuits?

Depends on your panel, gas service, and budget. Essential-circuits (furnace, fridge, sump, some lights) costs meaningfully less; whole-home is seamless. We'll walk you through both with real numbers for your house.

Do you handle the gas line?

We coordinate the full install — electrical is ours, and we work with licensed gas fitters for the fuel side so you have one point of contact.

How fast does it kick in?

Automatic transfer typically restores power in under 30 seconds, whether you're home or not.
