What a whole-house generator does
Lose power in Dundee and a permanent standby generator does the rest: it starts, powers your home, and goes back to standby when the grid returns. 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.
We install Generac standby generators, sized to your home and wired in permanently.
What you can keep running
- Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
- Everyday power: lights, TVs, computers, and work gear.
- Critical equipment: medical devices and sump pumps.
- Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.
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 Dundee, natural gas or propane: those are the two options, and we help you pick the one that suits your property. If you do not have natural gas, propane is the alternative, and we can set up a propane tank on your property.
The setup is permanent, so nothing needs refueling by hand during an outage.
Standby or portable generator?
Around Dundee, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.
For a Dundee 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.
We walk you through placement, fuel, and size at the free consultation, so the plan is clear before anything is ordered.
How the install works
A Dundee generator project moves through four steps: sizing and placement, the permit, the install, and start-up.
- Consultation and design: we plan the size and placement together.
- Permitting and paperwork: we pull the Oregon permit.
- Installation: fuel line or propane tank, transfer switch, and wiring.
- Activation and support: we commission it and stay available after the job.
You need an Oregon permit for a generator, and we pull it.
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.

Questions we hear a lot
Do I need a permit for a backup generator in Dundee?
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.
