Automatic power for your Aurora home

A standby generator in Aurora is the set-it-and-forget-it answer to long outages. It senses the failure and starts without you. Every install includes an automatic transfer switch, which monitors the grid, switches your home over during an outage, and switches back when power returns.

Our standby generators are Generac, fixed outside the house and sized to what you need to run.

What stays on during an outage

  • Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.
  • Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.
  • Comfort: heating and cooling through the whole outage.
  • Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.

We match the generator to the loads you want covered at the free quote, using your panel as the guide.

Fuel options for a standby generator

Around Aurora, natural gas or propane: those are the two options, and we help you pick the one that suits your property. A home without a gas line can run on propane from a dedicated tank.

A permanent hookup means no fuel cans, no extension cords, and no standing outside in the rain.

Permanent or portable power

If you live in Aurora, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.

Whole-home coverage is what a standby generator is built for, and we size it so the circuits you care about in Aurora stay on together.

Placement, fuel, and size are decided with you at the free consultation, before any work starts.

Permit and install in Aurora

In Aurora, a standby generator install runs in four steps: consultation and design, permitting, installation, then activation and support.

  1. Consultation and design: we plan the size and placement together.
  2. Permitting and paperwork: we pull the Oregon permit.
  3. Installation: fuel line or propane tank, transfer switch, and wiring.
  4. Activation and support: we commission it and stay available after the job.

The permit is required and is handled by us.

The wiring and the transfer switch are electrical work, which is exactly what our licensed electricians do. We check your panel at the free quote.

If quiet and fuel-free matters more, look at a home battery.

Questions we hear a lot

Do I need a permit for a backup generator in Aurora?

Yes. Oregon requires a permit for a backup generator, and we pull it for you.

Does a standby generator run on natural gas or propane?

Either. If your home has a natural gas line, the generator can connect to it. If not, propane from a dedicated tank works.

Does the generator start by itself?

Yes. An automatic transfer switch detects the outage, switches your home over, and starts the generator, then switches back when the grid returns.

Will my panel work with a generator?

We look at your panel during the free quote and tell you if it needs attention before the generator goes in.
