Outage in Lafayette? Your generator starts itself

Outages stop mattering

Lose power in Lafayette and a permanent standby generator does the rest: it starts, powers your home, and goes back to standby when the grid returns. Every install includes an automatic transfer switch, which monitors the grid, switches your home over during an outage, and switches back when power returns.

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

What stays on during an outage

• Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.
• Critical equipment: medical devices and sump pumps.
• Comfort: heating and cooling through the whole outage.

The right generator size comes from your loads and your panel, and we work it out together up front.

Natural gas or propane

Most whole-house generators run on natural gas or propane, and either works for a Lafayette home. If you do not have natural gas, propane is the alternative, and we can set up a propane tank on your property.

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

Permanent or portable power

For your Lafayette home, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.

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 Lafayette.

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

From quote to standby power

Installing a standby generator in Lafayette 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.
