Losing power is more than just an inconvenience. Depending on the length of the outage, it can affect your comfort, safety, food storage, medical equipment, security systems, and even your ability to work from home.

A professionally installed backup generator helps keep your home operating when utility power is unavailable.

Benefits include:

• Keep your refrigerator and freezer running 
• Maintain heating and air conditioning (depending on generator size) 
• Operate sump pumps and well pumps 
• Power medical equipment 
• Keep lights, receptacles, and essential appliances working 
• Maintain internet service and home security systems 
• Reduce food spoilage during extended outages 
• Improve comfort and peace of mind during severe weather 
• Increase the value and appeal of your home 

For many Oklahoma homeowners, a backup generator is an investment in both convenience and safety.

Every home has different electrical needs. That's why we evaluate your property before recommending the best backup power solution.

Standby generators automatically detect a utility power outage and restore electricity within seconds. Permanently installed outside your home, these systems provide dependable backup power without the need to manually connect a portable generator.

Standby generators are an excellent choice for homeowners who want automatic operation and dependable whole-home or partial-home backup power.

A transfer switch safely connects your generator to your home's electrical system while preventing dangerous back-feeding into utility lines.

Transfer switches are designed to safely isolate your home from the utility system while supplying power from your generator during an outage.

An interlock kit is a safe and economical way to connect many portable generators to your home's electrical panel.

When installed properly, an interlock kit helps prevent the main breaker and generator breaker from being energized at the same time, providing a code-compliant method of supplying power to selected household circuits.

A weatherproof generator inlet box provides a convenient and safe connection point for your portable generator.

We install properly sized inlet boxes, wiring, breakers, and related electrical equipment designed specifically for generator applications.

In addition to installing generators, we provide:

• Dedicated generator circuits 
• Generator disconnects 
• Electrical panel modifications 
• Generator breaker installations 
• Generator receptacles 
• Whole-home electrical integration 
• Generator-ready electrical systems 

Every installation is designed to comply with current electrical codes and manufacturer requirements.

Choosing the right generator depends on your home's electrical needs, your budget, and how you plan to use backup power.

A portable generator is a practical solution for homeowners who experience occasional power outages and want a more affordable backup power option.

Advantages

• Lower initial cost 
• Portable for multiple uses 
• Excellent for essential circuits 
• Can power refrigerators, lighting, garage doors, and selected appliances 

Considerations

• Requires manual setup 
• Must be started manually 
• Requires proper fuel storage 
• Cannot be operated indoors or in enclosed spaces 

A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and automatically restores power when an outage occurs.

Advantages

• Fully automatic operation 
• No extension cords 
• Permanent fuel supply 
• Ideal for extended outages 
• Can power most or all of the home depending on generator size 

Considerations

• Higher installation cost 
• Requires professional electrical installation 
• Requires routine maintenance 

We'll help you determine which option best fits your home and your backup power goals.

Installing a generator is much more than connecting a few wires. A safe installation requires careful planning, proper load calculations, code-compliant electrical work, and attention to detail.
