Next Happy Valley outage, your whole house stays on

Automatic power for your Happy Valley home

When an outage hits Happy Valley, a standby generator takes over automatically. You do not haul out a portable unit or run extension cords. 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.

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.
• Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.
• Protection: medical equipment and sump pumps keep working.

How much runs at once depends on the generator size and your panel. We size it with you at the free quote.

Fuel options for a standby generator

Fuel comes down to what your Happy Valley 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 fuel gives you a permanent system with no manual starting.

Permanent or portable power

For Happy Valley homes, 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 Happy Valley 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.

Permit and install in Happy Valley

In Happy Valley, a standby generator install runs in four steps: consultation and design, permitting, installation, then activation and support.

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.

The permit is required and is handled by us.

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.

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