Standby generator installation in Des Moines

A standby generator sits outside like an air conditioning unit and runs on natural gas or propane. An automatic transfer switch senses the outage, starts the generator and moves your home onto backup power, then switches back when utility power returns. Our standby generator installation in Des Moines covers the full electrical side and coordinates the fuel connection.

Whole house generator vs essential circuits

A whole house generator installation powers everything, including air conditioning. A smaller unit with a load-shedding switch or an essential-circuits panel covers the well pump, refrigerator, furnace, lights and outlets for less money. We size the generator to what you actually want running.

Generac installation and other brands

We install standby generators from the major manufacturers, including Generac, and we install units you have already purchased. If you'd rather use a portable generator, we fit an inlet and an interlock or manual transfer switch so you never backfeed the panel through an outlet.

A backup generator makes sense in Des Moines if

• Outages are frequent or slow to be restored
• You rely on a well pump for water
• Someone at home depends on medical equipment
• You work from home or run a business on site
• Freezers, livestock water or greenhouses depend on power

Electrical work in Des Moines and Union County

Spring and summer storms on the plains bring high wind, hail and lightning, and overhead lines in Union County take the brunt of it. When power drops in Des Moines, well pumps, freezers and medical equipment go with it, so generators and surge protection are sensible here.

Electric service in Union County is typically provided by Southwestern Electric Cooperative, depending on your address. When a job involves the meter or the service wires, we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with them. We provide generator installation across Des Moines (ZIP code 88418) and in nearby Capulin, Folsom, Gladstone, Grenville and Raton.
