Standby Generator Services

Is Your Home Prepared for Colorado's Unpredictable Power Outages?

When winter storms, summer thunderstorms, and aging grid infrastructure cause unexpected power losses, it’s more than just inconvenient — it’s threatening your home’s essential systems, family comfort, and property security.

Tired of throwing away refrigerated food after extended outages? Standby generators activate automatically within seconds of power loss, maintaining refrigeration and freezer temperatures to protect your food investments and prevent spoilage.
Concerned about heating system failures during winter storms? Professional generator installations keep critical heating systems operational through outages, preventing frozen pipes and maintaining safe home temperatures during Colorado’s harshest winter conditions.
Worried about security system failures during blackouts? Properly designed generator systems maintain power to security, surveillance, and communication systems, ensuring continuous property protection regardless of utility status.
Frustrated by the inability to work from home during power interruptions? Today’s standby generator solutions provide clean, consistent power for sensitive electronics and home office equipment, allowing uninterrupted productivity despite external power failures.

Quick Answers to Generator Questions

What size generator does my home need?

Generator sizing depends on your specific coverage goals. Whole-house systems typically require 16-22kW for average homes, while essential circuit coverage might need only 8-14kW. We perform detailed load calculations measuring your actual power requirements rather than using general estimates, ensuring appropriate capacity without excessive cost.

What's the difference between portable and standby generators?

Portable generators require manual setup, extension cords or manual transfer switches, and constant refueling. Standby generators are permanently installed, activate automatically within seconds of power loss, connect directly to your electrical system, and run on natural gas or propane for extended operation without refueling – providing true peace of mind during outages.

How noisy are modern standby generators?

Today's standby generators operate at approximately 60-65 decibels at 7 meters (about the noise level of normal conversation) – significantly quieter than portable generators. Advanced features include sound-dampening enclosures, advanced muffler systems, and low-tone engines specifically designed for residential applications.

What maintenance do standby generators require?

Proper maintenance includes monthly automatic self-tests (which we configure during installation), annual professional service with oil change, filter replacement, spark plug inspection, and battery testing. Our optional maintenance plans handle all requirements automatically, ensuring your system remains ready for immediate operation when needed.
