Automatic backup for the essentials you depend on

A permanently installed Generac home standby generator uses natural gas or liquid propane and starts automatically when utility power is lost. With the appropriate transfer equipment, it supplies the circuits included in your backup plan and returns to standby after utility service is restored.

Start with the things you want to keep running: refrigeration, selected lighting, heating equipment, internet or a sump pump. That list gives the project a clear purpose before you compare generator sizes. Whole-home coverage and essential-circuit backup call for different planning decisions.

A complete installation starts with your electrical system

Elite’s generator installation services include the electrical connections and transfer systems that connect backup equipment to your property. We consider the existing panel, the loads to be supported and any electrical upgrades that belong in the same project.

Equipment placement, fuel connections, permit requirements and the route between the generator and electrical equipment all affect the installation scope. Share photos of your panel and proposed location when you contact us. These details help move the conversation beyond the price of the generator alone.

Planning for an existing Generac system

If your home already has a Generac generator, send us its model number, the transfer-switch information and a description of the issue or planned change. A new appliance, remodel or replacement generator is a reason to review what the backup system needs to support.

Generac offers Mobile Link remote monitoring on compatible equipment. Connectivity and available features depend on the generator, installed hardware and plan. Monitoring can help you see system status; it does not replace the maintenance specified for your equipment.

Talk with a local electrical team

We serve homeowners in Portland, Vancouver and nearby communities. Whether you have selected a Generac model or are comparing backup options, tell us about your home, the equipment you need to power and your project timeline. We can discuss the installation and service work involved.
