Gervais: lose the grid, keep the whole house on

Outages stop mattering

A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Gervais, runs your home, and shuts off when the grid comes back. The automatic transfer switch is what makes it hands-free. It detects the outage, starts the generator, and returns to the grid when power is restored.

We install Generac standby generators, permanent units that are wired to your home and sized to your loads.

What a whole-house generator can carry

• Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.
• Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.
• Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.
• Food and chores: 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.

Choosing your fuel

Fuel comes down to what your Gervais property already has. Natural gas connects straight to your existing line. If you do not have natural gas, propane is the alternative, and we can set up a propane tank on your property.

Either way, the system is permanent and ready, so there are no fuel cans to store and no pull cord to start in the rain.

Permanent or portable power

For your Gervais home, a portable generator has to be hauled out, fueled, and connected by hand, usually in bad weather. A standby generator is already installed and starts on its own.

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

We walk you through placement, fuel, and size at the free consultation, so the plan is clear before anything is ordered.

What happens after you call

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

1. Consultation and design: a free visit to look at your loads, your panel, and where it will sit.
2. Permitting and paperwork: the permit and paperwork are ours.
3. Installation: our electricians set the unit, connect the fuel, and wire the transfer switch.
4. Activation and support: we test it, show you how it works, and support you afterward.

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

The generator has to connect safely to your home's electrical system. Our licensed electricians handle that connection and check your panel during the free quote.

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