Next Woodburn outage, your whole house stays on

Standby power for Woodburn homeowners

A standby generator in Woodburn is the set-it-and-forget-it answer to long outages. It senses the failure and starts without you. 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.

What a whole-house generator can carry

• Protection: medical equipment and sump pumps keep working.
• HVAC: furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.
• Appliances: fridge, freezer, stove, and laundry.
• Lights and electronics: lighting, TVs, computers, and the home office.

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

Choosing your fuel

Most whole-house generators run on natural gas or propane, and either works for a Woodburn home. If you do not have natural gas, propane is the alternative, and we can set up a propane tank on your property.

Either fuel gives you a permanent system with no manual starting.

Permanent or portable power

For your Woodburn home, portable units need you to set them up in the dark and the rain. A standby generator is permanent and takes over automatically.

Whole-home coverage is what a standby generator is built for, and we size it so the circuits you care about in Woodburn stay on together.

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

What happens after you call

The path to standby power in Woodburn is four steps: design, permit, installation, and commissioning.

1. Consultation and design: we size the generator and choose the location.
2. Permitting and paperwork: we file the permit.
3. Installation: gas or propane connection, transfer switch, and wiring.
4. Activation and support: we start it up, walk you through it, and stay reachable.

Oregon requires a permit for a backup generator, and we file it for you.

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.

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.
