Automatic power for your Tualatin home
A standby generator in Tualatin is the set-it-and-forget-it answer to long outages. It senses the failure and starts without you. An automatic transfer switch is the brain of the system. It senses the outage, isolates your house from the grid, and starts the generator for you.
We install Generac standby generators, sized to your home and wired in permanently.
Loads worth covering
- Protection: medical equipment and sump pumps keep working.
- HVAC: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.
- Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
- Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.
Generator size and panel capacity decide what can run together. We sort that out with you at the free quote.
Fuel options for a standby generator
In Tualatin, standby generators run on natural gas or propane. If your Tualatin home already has a natural gas line, the generator can connect to it and you never refuel. Where gas lines do not reach, propane from a dedicated tank is the answer.
Either fuel gives you a permanent system with no manual starting.
Standby or portable generator?
Here in Tualatin, 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 Tualatin.
Placement, fuel, and size are decided with you at the free consultation, before any work starts.
Permit and install in Tualatin
In Tualatin, a standby generator install runs in four steps: consultation and design, permitting, installation, then activation and support.
- Consultation and design: we plan the size and placement together.
- Permitting and paperwork: we pull the Oregon permit.
- Installation: fuel line or propane tank, transfer switch, and wiring.
- Activation and support: we commission it and stay available after the job.
The permit is required and is handled by us.
Because we are licensed electricians, the transfer switch, the wiring, and the panel review all stay with one team.
Natural gas and propane generators both work, and we help you choose the one that fits your home. A home battery needs no fuel; a generator runs as long as it has fuel.

Questions we hear a lot
Do I need a permit for a backup generator in Tualatin?
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.
