What a whole-house generator does

In Falls City, a standby generator means an outage is something you notice on the news, not in your house. 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

  • Comfort: heating and cooling through the whole outage.
  • Appliances: fridge, freezer, stove, and laundry.
  • Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.
  • Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.

The right generator size comes from your loads and your panel, and we work it out together up front.

What the generator runs on

Across Falls City, you have two fuel choices: natural gas or propane. A home already on natural gas can connect the generator directly to the line. Without natural gas, we install a propane tank for the generator.

The setup is permanent, so nothing needs refueling by hand during an outage.

Why standby beats portable

For a Falls City home, portable units need you to set them up in the dark and the rain. A standby generator is permanent and takes over automatically.

For a Falls City 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 Falls City generator project moves through four steps: sizing and placement, the permit, the install, and start-up.

  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.

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.

Not sure a generator is right? A home battery runs silently with no fuel, and some homes use one for short outages.

Questions we hear a lot

Do I need a permit for a backup generator in Falls City?

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.
