West Linn: whole-house power, and we pull the permit

What a whole-house generator does

When an outage hits West Linn, a standby generator takes over automatically. You do not haul out a portable unit or run extension cords. Every install includes an automatic transfer switch, which monitors the grid, switches your home over during an outage, and switches back when power returns.

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

• Medical devices and sump pumps: the equipment that cannot go down.
• Heating and cooling: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning.
• Kitchen and laundry: refrigerator, freezer, range, and washer.
• Lighting and devices: lights, screens, and the home office.

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

Natural gas or propane

For a West Linn home, standby generators run on natural gas or propane. If your West Linn 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.

Why standby beats portable

Across West Linn, with a portable generator you do the work during the outage. With a standby generator, the system does it for you.

For a West Linn 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.

We walk you through placement, fuel, and size at the free consultation, so the plan is clear before anything is ordered.

From quote to standby power

Installing a standby generator in West Linn takes four steps, from a free consultation through permit and install to activation.

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.

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.

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.
