Alberta winters and storm outages don't wait for a good time. We size, permit and install standby generators and transfer switches across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont and Fort Saskatchewan so your heat, your sump pump and your business keep running when the grid goes down.
When the power goes out in the middle of an Alberta winter, it stops being an inconvenience fast. Furnaces shut down, sump pumps quit, food spoils, and for a business, every hour offline is lost revenue. A standby generator paired with a transfer switch takes over automatically, so the transition is clean and safe instead of a scramble with extension cords.
The transfer switch is the important part done right. It isolates your home or building from the grid while the generator runs, which protects your equipment and keeps utility crews safe. We size the generator to the loads you actually need to keep on, install it to code, coordinate any gas work, and test the whole system so you know it will start when you need it.
Backup power isn't for everyone, but for some homes and businesses it's well worth it. It's usually the right call if:
If your area loses power often or for hours at a time, a standby generator pays for itself in peace of mind.
A dead sump pump during a storm can mean a flooded basement. Backup power keeps it running.
When health equipment depends on power, an automatic backup isn't a luxury, it's essential.
Refrigeration, POS systems, servers and security all stop without power. A generator keeps you open.
Rural and acreage properties often see longer outages, and standby power bridges the gap.
A permanent standby unit with a transfer switch means no cords, no fumes in the garage, no manual startup.
From the first call to final sign-off, we keep it straightforward and keep you informed:
We work out what you need to keep running and size the generator and transfer switch to match, so you're not over or under-built.
We pull the electrical permit and coordinate any natural gas or propane hookup with the right trades.
We set the generator, install the automatic or manual transfer switch, and tie it cleanly into your panel.
We run the system under load, confirm the automatic transfer works, and show you how it all operates.
Backup power is only worth it if it actually works the day you need it. Here's why people across the region trust us to install it:
A portable generator is wheeled out, fuelled and started by hand, with cords run to what you want to power. A standby generator is permanently installed, wired to your panel through a transfer switch, and starts automatically when the power drops. Standby is more convenient, safer and covers a lot more of your home or building.
An automatic transfer switch senses the outage and starts the generator for you, which is ideal if you're not always home or the loads are critical. A manual switch is a lower-cost option where you start the generator and flip the switch yourself. We'll recommend the right fit for how you plan to use it.
That depends on the size you choose. A smaller unit can cover the essentials like your furnace, fridge, sump pump and some lights, while a larger one can run most or all of the building. We size it around the loads that matter most to you.
Most standby generators run on natural gas or propane, which means no refuelling during an outage. We'll factor your available fuel source into the plan and coordinate the gas connection.
Yes. Generator and transfer switch installations require an electrical permit and inspection in Alberta, and gas connections have their own requirements. We handle the electrical permit and coordinate the rest so it's all done properly.
We install standby power throughout Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont and Fort Saskatchewan, and surrounding communities. If you're nearby and not sure, just ask. There's a good chance we cover you.
