We take the time to understand your household’s specific power needs and help you choose a system that offers the right balance of capacity, efficiency, and value.

What Happens During a Power Outage

When the electricity goes out, many homes lose heating and cooling, an issue that can quickly become dangerous in extreme weather. Homes on well water systems may lose water access, and food in refrigerators and freezers can spoil quickly during a power outage. The longer the power outage lasts, the greater the risk. Power loss also disrupts critical systems like medical equipment and sump pumps, putting both health and property at risk.

The Benefits of Installing a Backup Generator

Our lives run on electricity, and power outages, especially during severe storms, can bring everything to a halt. Losing power means no internet, no climate control, and the risk of food spoilage. A home generator automatically takes over when the grid goes down, keeping your lights, appliances, internet, and essential electronics running without interruption.

Standby Generators vs. Portable Generators

Homeowners typically choose between two types of generators, being portable and whole-home standby generators. Portable generators are more affordable upfront and usually run on gasoline, but they require manual operation and offer limited capacity. Standby generators, while more expensive to install, are more efficient, last longer, and activate automatically during an outage. Oliver installs and services both types to fit your needs and budget.

Generator Maintenance is Important

If you’ve invested in a standby generator, annual maintenance is essential to ensure it works when you need it most. Regular servicing keeps your unit running efficiently and helps extend its lifespan. At Oliver, we offer generator maintenance plans that provide scheduled tune-ups at a discounted rate, with even more savings available through multi-year options.

Types of Generators We Install

Oliver offers a complete range of home backup power installation services, including systems powered by liquid propane, natural gas, and gasoline. Whether you’re looking for a permanent standby solution or a portable option, we have the right generator for your needs.

Liquid Propane Generators

These generators are a popular choice thanks to their flexibility and environmental friendliness. Propane burns cleanly and can be stored long-term, making it ideal for infrequent but essential generator use.

Natural Gas Generators

If your home is connected to a natural gas line, this fuel option is a convenient and cost-effective choice. It’s clean-burning and always available, but because it can’t be stored easily, it may not be ideal for all properties.

Gas-Powered Portable Generators

Portable generators run on regular gasoline and can be connected to your home with a transfer switch. While they’re great for temporary use or travel, they aren’t built for continuous operation during extended outages.

Brand Names You Can Trust

For reliable home generator installation, we recommend top-rated brands like Generac and Kohler. These manufacturers lead the industry in quality and long-term value, offering dependable power solutions for residential use.

Generac Generators

Generac is a trusted name in this space and has been for more than 60 years. These natural gas and liquid propane generators are affordable and provide advanced features like smartphone monitoring.

Kohler Generators

Kohler has been innovating generator solutions for more than 100 years. This brand is widely considered the gold standard for whole-home standby power and is unmatched in durability and reliability.
