A generator that starts itself in Keizer
A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Keizer, 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.
The generators we install are Generac standby units. They are permanent, hard-wired to your home, and sized to the loads you need covered.
What you can keep running
- Comfort: heating and cooling through the whole outage.
- Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
- Everyday power: lights, TVs, computers, and work gear.
- Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.
We match the generator to the loads you want covered at the free quote, using your panel as the guide.
What the generator runs on
If you live in Keizer, natural gas or propane: those are the two options, and we help you pick the one that suits your property. If you do not have natural gas, propane is the alternative, and we can set up a propane tank on your property.
A permanent hookup means no fuel cans, no extension cords, and no standing outside in the rain.
Standby or portable generator?
Around Keizer, portable units need you to set them up in the dark and the rain. A standby generator is permanent and takes over automatically.
Whole-home coverage is what a standby generator is built for, and we size it so the circuits you care about in Keizer stay on together.
We walk you through placement, fuel, and size at the free consultation, so the plan is clear before anything is ordered.
How the install works
A Keizer generator project moves through four steps: sizing and placement, the permit, the install, and start-up.
- Consultation and design: a free visit to look at your loads, your panel, and where it will sit.
- Permitting and paperwork: the permit and paperwork are ours.
- Installation: our electricians set the unit, connect the fuel, and wire the transfer switch.
- 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.
Because we are licensed electricians, the transfer switch, the wiring, and the panel review all stay with one team.
Not sure a generator is right? A home battery runs silently with no fuel, and some homes use one for short outages.

Questions we hear a lot
Do I need a permit for a backup generator in Keizer?
Yes. Oregon requires a permit for a backup generator, and we pull it for you.
Does a standby generator run on natural gas or propane?
Either. If your home has a natural gas line, the generator can connect to it. If not, propane from a dedicated tank works.
Does the generator start by itself?
Yes. An automatic transfer switch detects the outage, switches your home over, and starts the generator, then switches back when the grid returns.
Will my panel work with a generator?
We look at your panel during the free quote and tell you if it needs attention before the generator goes in.
