Automatic power for your Beaverton home
In Beaverton, a standby generator means an outage is something you notice on the news, not in your house. The key part is the automatic transfer switch. It watches the utility power, disconnects your home from the grid when it drops, and signals the generator to start.
Our standby generators are Generac, fixed outside the house and sized to what you need to run.
What a whole-house generator can carry
- Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.
- Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.
- Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.
- Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
Generator size and panel capacity decide what can run together. We sort that out with you at the free quote.
What the generator runs on
If you live in Beaverton, you have two fuel choices: natural gas or propane. A home already on natural gas can connect the generator directly to the line. If you do not have natural gas, propane is the alternative, and we can set up a propane tank on your property.
A permanent hookup means no fuel cans, no extension cords, and no standing outside in the rain.
Permanent or portable power
Around Beaverton, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.
For a Beaverton home that wants the whole house covered, a standby unit is the cleaner answer: no cords through windows, no refueling at night, and the right size for your loads.
Placement, fuel, and size are decided with you at the free consultation, before any work starts.
How the install works
A Beaverton generator project moves through four steps: sizing and placement, the permit, the install, and start-up.
- Consultation and design: we size the generator and choose the location.
- Permitting and paperwork: we file the permit.
- Installation: gas or propane connection, transfer switch, and wiring.
- Activation and support: we start it up, walk you through it, and stay reachable.
You need an Oregon permit for a generator, and we pull it.
Our own licensed electricians do the wiring, the transfer switch, and the final hookup, and we review your panel at the free quote so nothing surprises you later.
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 Beaverton?
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.
