Whole-home generator installation for reliable backup power.

When the power goes out, you do not just lose the lights. Heating or cooling, refrigeration, sump pumps, well equipment, Wi-Fi, and other parts of daily life can stop with it. A standby generator starts automatically when utility power fails, helping keep the parts of your home that matter most running. Tell Peterman Brothers what you want protected, and we will build the generator plan around your home, your power needs, and your budget.

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT, MORE THAN THE LIGHTS ARE AT RISK

A power outage can shut down the things your home and family depend on most.

A long outage can mean spoiled food in the refrigerator and freezer, a sump pump that cannot protect the basement, no heating or cooling, and no power for medical equipment your household may rely on. For some families, it can also put refrigerated medications at risk.

Internet, security systems, well pumps, and the rest of the routines powered by your home can stop too. A standby generator gives the systems you choose a source of backup power that starts automatically, so an outage does not get to decide what your household goes without.

BUILT AROUND WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP RUNNING

What goes into a whole-home standby generator installation?

Your Backup Power Priorities

We start with what matters to you, whether that is heating or cooling, a sump pump, refrigerator, freezer, well pump, medical equipment, Wi-Fi, lighting, or other systems in the home.

The Right Generator Size

We match generator capacity to what you want powered and the demands of that equipment.

Your Electrical System

We review the panel, transfer equipment, available capacity, and electrical work needed to connect the generator to the home.

Fuel Source and Placement

We account for the available fuel source, generator location, required clearances, service access, and site conditions.

Permits and Installation Needs

We identify the permits, inspections, and electrical, gas, or utility coordination the project requires.

Automatic Startup and Testing

After installation, we test the generator and transfer operation so the system is ready to respond when utility power goes out.

Service With Significance

We invest in our people so our people can invest in you.

Since taking over the business from their dad, Pete, Chad and Tyler Peterman have remained dedicated to building a company that puts its people first, regardless of how much the organization grows.

They’ve advanced this commitment by establishing a shared vision and purpose centered on our Why and our Just Cause: the reason behind what we do every day and the future we’re working to create. That shared vision is reflected in a process we’ve intentionally named Service With Significance.

At its heart, Service With Significance means investing in our people so they can, in turn, invest in you. By elevating the trades through real career opportunities, meaningful investment in training, and ongoing professional growth, we strengthen our communities and better serve our customers.
