When the Grid Goes Down,
Your Power Stays On

It depends on what you want to keep running. Essential circuits (fridge, some lights, fans, internet) need far less than whole-home coverage with central AC. We run a load calculation during your free assessment and recommend the size that fits your home — not the biggest unit on the truck.

A standby system starts automatically, runs on natural gas or propane, and powers your home with zero effort — the premium option. A portable generator with a properly installed interlock or transfer switch is a budget-friendly alternative, though it requires fueling and manual startup. We install both, and we’ll give you an honest comparison for your situation.

If your home has natural gas service, that’s usually the winner — no tank to refill. No gas service? A propane tank works great and can often be leased. Fuel choice affects generator output slightly, and we factor that into sizing.

Most residential standby installations are completed within a few days of work once equipment, permits, and gas coordination are in place. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote — and fair warning: lead times stretch fast once a storm is named.

Yes — like a car engine, a standby generator needs periodic oil changes, inspections, and exercise cycles. We offer maintenance service so your system actually starts when the power fails, which is the entire point.
