Next Lake Oswego outage, your whole house stays on

What a whole-house generator does

A whole-house standby generator starts on its own when the power fails in Lake Oswego, runs your home, and shuts off when the grid comes back. 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.

These are permanent Generac standby units, not portables, matched to the loads you want covered.

What you can keep running

• 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.
• Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.

We match the generator to the loads you want covered at the free quote, using your panel as the guide.

Natural gas or propane

In Lake Oswego, you have two fuel choices: natural gas or propane. A home already on natural gas can connect the generator directly to the line. A home without a gas line can run on propane from a dedicated tank.

A permanent hookup means no fuel cans, no extension cords, and no standing outside in the rain.

Permanent or portable power

Here in Lake Oswego, 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 Lake Oswego 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.

From quote to standby power

Installing a standby generator in Lake Oswego 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.

Because we are licensed electricians, the transfer switch, the wiring, and the panel review all stay with one team.
