Jefferson: lose the grid, keep the whole house on

What a whole-house generator does

A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Jefferson, 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.

What you can keep running

• Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.
• Food and chores: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, 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

Around Jefferson, standby generators run on natural gas or propane. If your Jefferson home already has a natural gas line, the generator can connect to it and you never refuel. A home without a gas line can run on propane from a dedicated tank.

Once it is in, there is nothing to carry, pour, or start by hand.

Why standby beats portable

If you live in Jefferson, 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.

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 Jefferson.

Before anything is ordered, we agree with you on where it goes, what it runs on, and how big it is.

How the install works

A Jefferson generator project moves through four steps: sizing and placement, the permit, the install, and start-up.

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.

You need an Oregon permit for a generator, and we pull it.

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.

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