Backup Power Generators

Severe storms, ice and snow, high winds, and grid failures strike with little warning, and they can leave homes and businesses in central Indiana without power for hours or even days. With one of our backup power generators, you can weather any outage. Find the right option to bridge the gap and keep your refrigerator, sump pump, furnace, and phones running.

Permanently installed and wired directly into your home’s electrical system, a home standby generator kicks on automatically the moment the power goes out, whether you’re home or not.

Whole-home generators are built to keep your entire home powered during extended outages, with no manual setup required. If you opt for one of these units, you’ll need to work with a Master Electrician experienced in generator hookups to install it.

Backup power generators are perfect for homeowners who want the most complete protection and hands-off, long-term peace of mind.

Portable Generators

With options fueled by gas, propane, or battery power, portable generators offer flexible, on-demand backup for emergencies or projects away from an outlet. This type of generator often needs to be started manually and refueled periodically. It packs enough output to run major appliances and power tools, or even serve as a backup generator for houses when paired with a transfer switch.

If you’re a homeowner who needs temporary power without a permanent installation, a portable generator is a solid choice.

Power Stations

Compact, quiet, and fuel-free, power stations are battery-powered units you charge in advance and recharge after use. These home backup generators are a great fit for apartments, condos, or anyone who wants emergency power without gasoline, fumes, or maintenance.

Use one to keep phones charged, laptops running, and small essentials powered up during short outages, camping trips, or tailgating events.
