Why Add a Standby Generator to Your Home
Michigan storms, grid failures, and downed lines can leave your home without power for hours — or days. A whole-house standby generator removes the worry entirely: it senses the outage, starts automatically, and restores power within seconds, all without you lifting a finger.
At Primetime Electrical & General Contracting, we handle the entire project from start to finish — proper sizing for your home, permitting, the electrical and transfer-switch work, and clean, code-compliant installation by licensed electricians.
Unlike noisy portable units, a permanently installed standby generator runs on natural gas or propane, powers your whole home (or the circuits that matter most), and protects everything from your furnace and refrigerator to your security system and medical equipment.
- Automatic startup within seconds of an outage
- Professional sizing for your exact power needs
- Permitting & transfer switch handled for you
- Trusted Generac-class equipment & support
