Outage in Dayton? Your generator starts itself

A generator that starts itself in Dayton

A standby generator in Dayton is the set-it-and-forget-it answer to long outages. It senses the failure and starts without you. An automatic transfer switch is the brain of the system. It senses the outage, isolates your house from the grid, and starts the generator for you.

The generators we install are Generac standby units. They are permanent, hard-wired to your home, and sized to the loads you need covered.

What a whole-house generator can carry

• Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.
• HVAC: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.
• Food and chores: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.

Generator size and panel capacity decide what can run together. We sort that out with you at the free quote.

Choosing your fuel

For a Dayton home, standby generators run on natural gas or propane. If your Dayton home already has a natural gas line, the generator can connect to it and you never refuel. 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

Across Dayton, 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 Dayton stay on together.

Before anything is ordered, we agree with you on where it goes, what it runs on, and how big it is.

What happens after you call

The path to standby power in Dayton is four steps: design, permit, installation, and commissioning.

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.

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

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.

Natural gas and propane generators both work, and we help you choose the one that fits your home. A home battery needs no fuel; a generator runs as long as it has fuel.
