Automatic power for your Molalla home

Lose power in Molalla and a permanent standby generator does the rest: it starts, powers your home, and goes back to standby when the grid returns. 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.

Typical loads on a standby generator

  • 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.
  • Appliances: fridge, freezer, stove, and laundry.

How much runs at once depends on the generator size and your panel. We size it with you at the free quote.

Natural gas or propane

If you live in Molalla, you have two fuel choices: natural gas or propane. A home already on natural gas can connect the generator directly to the line. 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.

Permanent or portable power

Around Molalla, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.

For a Molalla 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 Molalla 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.

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.

If quiet and fuel-free matters more, look at a home battery.

Questions we hear a lot

Do I need a permit for a backup generator in Molalla?

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.
