BACKUP GENERATORS
When the grid goes down, your house doesn't. Whole-home Generac and Kohler generator systems with automatic transfer.
BC storms don't ask permission before cutting your power. A standby generator answers automatically — sensing the outage, starting itself, and restoring your home within seconds while the rest of the street goes dark. Furnace, fridge, sump pump, WiFi: all still running.
Able Electrical installs Generac and Kohler systems, matching generator capacity to your home's actual load — from essential-circuits coverage to full whole-home backup. We size it with a proper load calculation, not a brochure chart.
The heart of the system is the automatic transfer switch, which isolates your home from the grid and switches to generator power without you touching anything — and switches back, safely, when BC Hydro service returns. We install and wire the transfer equipment to code, permitted and inspected through Technical Safety BC, and coordinate licensed gas fitting for natural gas and propane connections.
Standby power is only as reliable as its upkeep, so we offer annual maintenance — exercise checks, transfer testing, and inspection — to make sure the system starts on the night it matters.
