Keep Your Home Running,
Even When the Grid Isn’t.
Licensed, locally-installed standby generators. Honest quotes, no pressure, no surprises.
Your Home Should Feel Normal,
Even When the Power’s Out.
A standby generator sits outside your home and watches the grid. The second the power drops, it turns itself on — in seconds, not minutes — and keeps everything running the way you set it up. No running extension cords. No drive to a gas station for fuel. No cold house at 3am.
It’s not about the generator. It’s about what the generator protects. Your food doesn’t spoil. Your well keeps pumping. Your medical equipment stays on. Your kids sleep through the outage. Your home office keeps working. When the grid comes back, the generator quietly shuts off — usually before you even noticed it kicked on.
That’s the real benefit: the outage becomes a non-event.
Food Stays Cold
Fridge and freezer hold through multi-day outages.
Heat & AC Keep Going
No frozen pipes, no sweltering bedrooms.
Well Water Flows
Your pump runs, so water keeps flowing.
Peace of Mind
Medical equipment, sump pumps, security — stuff you can’t lose.
Four Things Shape the Price.
That’s It.
Every install is different. Four factors shape the price.
Power Needed
More rooms and bigger loads mean a bigger generator — and a bigger generator costs more.
Placement & Distance
Next to the house is cheap. Across the yard means trenching and more wire.
Install Complexity
Permits, panel upgrades, rocky ground. Clean sites go fast; tricky ones don’t.
Existing Setup
A gas line or propane tank already on site is the biggest single cost-saver.

The 30-Second Explainer
Here’s what’s actually happening. No jargon.
The Generator Makes the Electricity
Fuel (natural gas or propane) spins an engine. The engine generates electricity. It’s a power plant, house-sized.
The Transfer Switch Routes the Power
An automatic switch next to your main panel decides where your home pulls power from — utility or generator.
Your Home Runs on One Source at a Time
Utility or generator — never both. When the grid drops, it flips in seconds. When the grid returns, it flips back and shuts the generator off.
It Sits on a Solid Base
Generators are heavy and need a stable, level foundation — usually a concrete pad.

Generator FAQ
Answers to what homeowners ask most often before scheduling an install.
Most residential standby installs fall between $10,000 and $25,000 turnkey, depending on generator size, fuel type, placement, and site complexity. The estimator above gives you a realistic starting range based on your home. Your final, written price is confirmed after a free on-site review.
It depends on what you want running during an outage, the size of your home, and any high-power items like AC, EV chargers, or hot tubs. Most homes land between 14kW and 26kW. The estimator above will recommend a size based on your exact answers.
Most installs take 2-3 days of on-site work once permits and equipment are ready. The full timeline from first call to a running system is usually 2-4 weeks, depending on equipment availability and gas-contractor scheduling.
Yes — most jurisdictions require an electrical permit and sometimes a building permit. We handle all permitting as part of the job. You don’t have to chase anything.
If your home already has a natural gas line, that’s usually the simplest and cheapest option — the fuel supply is effectively unlimited. Propane is a great alternative if you don’t have gas service. Either way, we don’t run the gas line ourselves — we coordinate with a licensed gas contractor we trust, as part of the project.
That’s the whole point. A standby generator runs automatically — it detects the outage, starts itself, and switches your home over without anyone needing to do anything. When the grid returns, it switches back and shuts off.
Modern units are surprisingly quiet — roughly the volume of a central AC unit running outside. You’ll hear it from inside the house during an outage, but it’s not disruptive. Placement and sound-dampening can reduce it further if noise is a concern.
Yes, just like a car. A typical standby generator needs an annual service — oil, filters, battery, and a functional test — to stay reliable and keep its warranty valid. We offer maintenance plans, or you can handle it yourself if you prefer.
We install the most trusted names in residential standby power. During your site review we’ll recommend the best fit for your home, budget, and backup goals — rather than pushing one brand on every job.
Yes. If you already have a generator, we’ll install it. If you’re still shopping, we’ll recommend the right size and source it for you. And if you just want advice on what to buy, we’ll walk you through it — no pressure either way.
