Outage in Sheridan? Your generator starts itself

Standby power for Sheridan homeowners

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

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

What a whole-house generator can carry

• HVAC: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.
• Appliances: fridge, freezer, stove, and laundry.
• Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.
• 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.

Fuel options for a standby generator

If you live in Sheridan, you have two fuel choices: natural gas or propane. A home already on natural gas can connect the generator directly to the line. Without natural gas, we install a propane tank for the generator.

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

Permanent or portable power

Around Sheridan, 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 Sheridan.

Placement, fuel, and size are decided with you at the free consultation, before any work starts.

Permit and install in Sheridan

In Sheridan, a standby generator install runs in four steps: consultation and design, permitting, installation, then activation and support.

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.

The permit is required and is handled by us.

Our own licensed electricians do the wiring, the transfer switch, and the final hookup, and we review your panel at the free quote so nothing surprises you later.

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