Outage in Independence? Your generator starts itself

Automatic power for your Independence home

A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Independence, runs your home, and shuts off when the grid comes back. A transfer switch handles the handoff: it moves your home from the grid to the generator and back again with no manual steps.

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

Loads worth covering

• Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.
• Critical equipment: medical devices and sump pumps.
• Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.

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

Natural gas or propane

For an Independence home, standby generators run on natural gas or propane. If your Independence home already has a natural gas line, the generator can connect to it and you never refuel. No gas line? Propane from a tank installed for the generator works anywhere.

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.

Why standby beats portable

Across Independence, portable units need you to set them up in the dark and the rain. A standby generator is permanent and takes over automatically.

If you want the furnace, the kitchen, and the home office all on at once, a standby generator sized for your loads is how that happens in Independence.

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

From quote to standby power

Installing a standby generator in Independence takes four steps, from a free consultation through permit and install to activation.

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.

A backup generator needs a permit in Oregon, and we pull it for you.

Generator work is electrical work first. We tie the transfer switch into your panel, so our licensed electricians do the install and look at your panel during the free quote to see whether it needs attention.

Want to compare options? A home battery is quieter and needs no fuel, while a generator keeps running as long as it has fuel.
