Whole house/automatic standby generators from Generac
Want whole-home protection without lifting a finger? Our automatic standby generator installation services are for you. These systems are permanently installed outside your home and connect directly to your electrical panel and fuel source—usually natural gas or propane.
When an outage hits, the generator detects the loss of power and turns on automatically within seconds. This makes standby generators ideal for those who travel frequently or want uninterrupted power for critical systems and whole house coverage.
Why choose a whole house generator?
- Provides full-home or partial load coverage depending on your needs
- Automatically turns on within seconds of an outage
- Runs on natural gas or propane—no refueling needed
- Adds value to your home
- Ideal for long outages and critical systems
Portable generators from Generac & Duromax
Looking for a more affordable way to power key parts of your home during an outage? A portable generator setup with a manual transfer switch and inlet lets you safely power selected circuits in your home without running cords through windows or doors. Portable generators are great for shorter outages, budget-conscious homeowners, cabins, and smaller homes. These types of generators can be run either by connecting to your home’s natural gas or propane system or by utilizing a refillable large capacity fuel tank. While they require some manual operation, they offer flexibility and dependable performance when properly installed.
Why go with a portable generator setup?
- Lower upfront cost than standby generators
- Powers essential loads like lights, fridges, and freezers
- Can be used at multiple locations, like cabins or campsites
- Doesn’t require a permanent installation or fuel line

Got questions? We have answers
What's the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed and automatically turns on during a power outage. It usually has the capacity to power a whole house or business. On the other hand, a portable generator is manually operated and connected through a transfer switch. We offer installation and support for both options and can help determine which is best for you.
Can I install a portable generator setup myself?
While you can operate a portable generator on your own, installing a proper transfer switch and inlet should always be done by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.
How often should I schedule generator maintenance?
We recommend generator maintenance once a year to keep your system running reliably. It’s the best way to keep your system running efficiently and avoid unexpected breakdowns when you need power most. We offer annual maintenance plans to make upkeep simple and ensure your generator stays ready year after year.
How much does generator installation cost near me?
The cost depends on the generator type, your space size, and your specific power needs. Portable generator setups with a transfer switch and inlet are more budget-friendly. On the other hand, standby generator installations involve a higher upfront investment but offer hands-free operation that can power your whole house or business. We provide clear, upfront estimates with no pressure and can help you choose a solution that fits your needs.
Do I need a permit for generator installation?
Yes, most generator installations near you require permits and inspections. But don’t worry, we handle the entire permitting process for you to keep things smooth and compliant.
