Backup power, done the right way
A generator is only as good as its install. Sizing, the transfer switch and code compliance are what keep it safe and reliable.
Right-sized for your home
Too small and it can't carry your loads; oversized and you overpay. We size it to what you actually need to keep on.
Automatic transfer switch
A proper transfer switch flips you to backup safely — and prevents deadly back-feed onto utility lines.
Whole-home or essentials
Keep the whole house running, or just the must-haves — fridge, heat, well pump, medical, internet.
PSPS & storm ready
In wildfire-shutoff country, backup power isn't a luxury — it's how you stay safe and comfortable.
Fuel & placement
Natural gas or propane, placed to code with proper clearances and a clean gas/electrical tie-in.

Done on the record — protecting your home, warranty and insurance.

What size generator do I need?▾
It depends on what you want to keep running. We do a load assessment — whole-home comfort vs. essentials like the fridge, heat, well pump, medical devices and internet — and size the generator and transfer switch to match, so you don't overpay or come up short.
Do I need an automatic transfer switch?▾
For a safe, hands-off standby system, yes. A transfer switch isolates your home from the grid before the generator powers up, which is required to prevent dangerous back-feed onto utility lines — and it switches you over automatically.
Natural gas or propane?▾
Either — we install both. Natural gas is convenient if you have a line; propane is great where you don't. We handle the placement, clearances and coordination.
Is it permitted?▾
Always. Backup power involves electrical (and often gas) work that must be permitted and inspected to protect your home, warranty and insurance.
Will it protect me during a PSPS shutoff?▾
Yes — that's exactly what a standby system is for. When the utility cuts power for wildfire safety, your generator keeps your home running automatically.
