Standby generator sizing, installation and service so the lights stay on when the power does not.

One request. One expert. One call.
A standby generator keeps lights, refrigerators and furnaces running when the storm knocks the power out. It is peace of mind that starts by itself.
A proper installation involves an electrician, a gas line, a transfer switch and the right placement. Ask your installer what loads the unit will carry and how it is maintained once it is in place.

About generators
How big a generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run. A pro adds up your loads, such as air conditioning, a well pump and a range, and recommends a size.
Does a generator need maintenance?
Yes. Like any engine it needs regular service, and a standby unit usually exercises itself on a schedule.
Do I pay anything to send a request?
No. Sending a request is free. Estimates and work are arranged between you and the partner contractor.
Are you a lead generation company?
No. We are not a lead generation company, and we do not sell leads. Your request goes to our team and the one partner who helps you.
