Gresham: whole-house power, and we pull the permit

A generator that starts itself in Gresham

A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Gresham, runs your home, and shuts off when the grid comes back. 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.

We install Generac standby generators, sized to your home and wired in permanently.

Loads worth covering

• Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.
• 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.

At the free quote we add up the loads and pick a generator size that fits them.

Choosing your fuel

Most whole-house generators run on natural gas or propane, and either works for a Gresham home. No gas line? Propane from a tank installed for the generator works anywhere.

Either fuel gives you a permanent system with no manual starting.

Standby or portable generator?

For Gresham homes, 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.

For a Gresham 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.

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 Gresham 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.

Because we are licensed electricians, the transfer switch, the wiring, and the panel review all stay with one team.

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