Keep your lights on and appliances running during grid failures or weather-related outages with a new whole-home generator.

Most homeowners will love the peace of mind that a whole-home generator (also called a standby generator, because they’re designed to turn on automatically during an outage) provides. However, they’re especially valuable for Scotts Valley residents, given the following factors:
Many properties on the outskirts of Scotts Valley rely on private wells, which won’t work without electricity, leaving you without running water for drinking, showers, or flushing toilets.
The Santa Cruz Mountains are notorious for intense winter storms that bring heavy rain and high winds, which can topple trees or create mudslides that sever power lines.
During the dry, windy months of late summer and autumn, PG&E frequently shuts down the power — sometimes for days at a time — to prevent wildfires.

Our generator specialists will conduct a detailed electrical load analysis to identify a unit capable of powering your specific combination of appliances, HVAC, and medical equipment. They will also help you navigate Scotts Valley’s local zoning codes to determine the safest, most compliant placement for the unit on your property.
The actual installation process involves the physical placement of the unit on a reinforced concrete pad and the integration of natural gas or propane fuel lines. Our technicians will manage the entire project from the initial trench construction to making the final electrical connections to ensure the system is properly installed and weather-ready.
The ATS is a critical safety component that instantly detects a grid failure and transitions your home to generator power without requiring you to do anything at all. It also prevents "backfeeding," a dangerous situation in which your generator sends electricity back into the utility lines, potentially resulting in property damage or utility worker injuries.
Our technicians can sync your generator with your home’s Wi-Fi network, enabling you to track the system’s status and receive real-time maintenance alerts directly on your smartphone. This ensures you are never caught off guard by a low battery or a failed weekly self-test, even when you are away from home.
Standard maintenance typically includes things like oil changes, spark plug replacements, and comprehensive battery testing to keep the engine in peak operating condition. Regular maintenance is often a requirement to keep your manufacturer's warranty valid and to ensure the unit starts reliably the next time you lose power.
Our expert technicians can provide troubleshooting services and replace faulty parts associated with mechanical or electrical failures that may occur after years of service. From fixing fuel delivery issues to replacing worn-out circuit boards, these services restore your home's safety net during unexpected outages.
