Generator Installation
Whole-house standby generators and transfer switches installed by licensed Michigan electricians. Never lose power again.
Reliable Backup Power for Michigan Homes
Michigan weather doesn’t ask permission. Ice storms, high winds, and summer thunderstorms knock out power to thousands of homes every year, sometimes for days. A whole-house standby generator turns on automatically within seconds of a power outage, keeping your lights, furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, and medical equipment running until utility power is restored. FastFix Electrical installs, connects, and services standby generators from Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Champion throughout Michigan.
Whole-House Standby Generators
A permanently installed standby generator sits on a concrete pad beside your home, connected to your natural gas or propane supply. When the power goes out, the automatic transfer switch senses the loss and starts the generator within 10 seconds — no extension cords, no manual startup, no fumbling in the dark. We help you select the right size based on your home’s electrical load: 22kW covers most Michigan homes, while larger homes may need 24kW or more.
Automatic Transfer Switches
The transfer switch is the critical link between your generator and your electrical panel. It disconnects your home from the utility grid before connecting the generator, preventing dangerous backfeed that can electrocute lineworkers. We install UL-listed automatic transfer switches rated to match your generator and panel, wired to code and tested under load before we leave.
Generator Sizing & Planning
An undersized generator can’t keep up with your home’s demand. An oversized one wastes fuel and money. We perform a detailed load calculation covering your HVAC system, well pump, sump pump, kitchen appliances, and any other critical loads. Then we recommend the right generator capacity with room for future additions like an EV charger or hot tub.
Gas Line & Pad Installation
A complete generator installation includes more than electrical work. We coordinate the concrete pad, gas line connection, and any required setbacks from windows, property lines, and utility meters. For homes without natural gas, we arrange propane tank installation and connection. One contractor, one project — we manage every piece so you don’t have to.
