We install, repair, and maintain home generators so you can feel prepared before the next storm hits.

If you are ready to talk through your options or need help with a generator problem, you can call (219) 754-5380 to schedule service with our team.

Why Homeowners Trust Our Electricians

Choosing an electrician for generator work is a big decision. You are inviting someone into your home and trusting them with equipment that affects your family’s comfort and safety. That is why we focus on being dependable, respectful, and transparent in everything we do.

We have been helping homeowners in and around Hobart since 1999. Over those years, we have worked in many different styles of homes and become familiar with how weather and utility interruptions affect this part of Indiana. Our electricians are fully qualified and background checked, so you know who is working in your home.

When you schedule generator service with us, we arrive within the agreed time window and communicate clearly if traffic or weather affects that timing. Our goal is to protect your home, so we wear appropriate gear, move carefully around your belongings, and clean up our work area before we leave.

We know that generator problems rarely happen at convenient times. That is why we offer 24/7 emergency services for urgent electrical issues and work hard to provide same-day or weekend appointments when possible. If your generator stops during a storm, you have a local team you can call for help.

Cost is another concern for many homeowners. We offer warranties on our work and a one-year repair guarantee, which reflects the care we put into repairs. Payment plans and financing are available for larger projects, such as new standby generator installations, so you can spread costs out in a way that fits your budget.

For homeowners who want a structured way to manage ongoing electrical maintenance, including generator care, our Safety Savings Plan can be a strong fit. Members receive savings of up to 15 percent on qualifying services and do not pay standard dispatch fees, which can make routine maintenance and unexpected repairs more manageable over time.

Generator Installation & Replacement

If your home has lost power one time too many, or you have added equipment that cannot be without electricity, it may be time to plan a generator installation. Many homeowners in Hobart start looking at generators after a storm leaves them without power for hours, when a sump pump stops, or when they realize refrigerated medications and food are at risk.

We work with you to choose a generator that fits your home and lifestyle. That usually starts with a conversation about what you want to keep running during an outage, such as heating and cooling, refrigerators, lighting, sump pumps, or home office equipment. We then look at your electrical panel, existing wiring, and available space outdoors to discuss options that match your priorities and budget.

Our team reviews typical household loads, discusses whether a portable or standby generator makes sense, and explains how a transfer switch works in plain language. We do not expect you to know technical terms, and we take time to answer questions so you can make an informed decision before moving forward.

Once you decide to proceed, we follow a clear and organized installation process. This often includes planning the location of the generator and transfer equipment, coordinating any required permits, and preparing your electrical panel for the new connection. We connect the system according to local code requirements and manufacturer guidelines, then test the generator under load so you can see it operate before we leave.

Many homeowners today also have smart thermostats, security systems, or other automation devices. When possible, we look at how your new generator will work with these systems so that your backup power supports the way you actually live in your home.

A typical home generator installation with our team may include:

• Initial visit to assess your electrical panel, home layout, and backup power needs
• Discussion of generator options and clear pricing for recommended choices
• Scheduling and preparation, including coordination of any required permits
• Safe installation of the generator, transfer switch, and related wiring
• Startup, testing under expected loads, and a walkthrough of basic operation

From the first visit through final testing, our goal is to make the process straightforward and understandable so you feel confident using your new system.

Generator Repair & Maintenance

A generator that does not start during an outage is more than an inconvenience. It can leave your home without heat, air conditioning, refrigeration, or sump pump protection when you rely on it most. If your generator has struggled to start, made unusual noises, or shown error messages, it is important to have it checked before the next storm.

When you call us about a generator problem, we gather information about the symptoms and your equipment, then schedule a visit as promptly as we can. In many situations, we can offer same-day or weekend appointments, especially when weather events are affecting power in this region. For urgent issues, our 24/7 availability means you can reach a trained professional at any time.

During a repair visit, our electricians follow a systematic approach. We inspect the generator visually, check connections, review error codes when available, and test components to narrow down likely causes. After identifying the issue, we explain your options and expected costs before we begin any repair work so you can decide how to proceed.

We work to provide lasting repairs rather than temporary patches. For example, if we find signs of wear in related components, we discuss whether replacing those parts at the same time makes sense for long-term reliability. Our one-year repair guarantee reflects the care we take in diagnosing and fixing problems, and we aim to leave your generator ready for the next outage.

Routine maintenance is just as important as responsive repair. Generators are mechanical and electrical systems that need periodic attention to perform consistently. Regular service can help reduce the chance of a surprise failure during a storm, support efficient operation, and often extend the life of the equipment.

During a typical maintenance visit, we may check and tighten electrical connections, inspect wiring and terminals, change filters when needed, inspect fuel and exhaust components, and test the generator under load. We also review control panels and settings, and we can walk you through basic checks you can perform between visits.

Many homeowners choose to connect generator maintenance with our Safety Savings Plan. Membership can make it easier to keep up with recommended service by providing savings on visits and removing standard dispatch fees. This kind of planning can be especially helpful for homes that depend heavily on backup power, such as those with medical equipment or frequent sump pump use.

Our Generator Service Process

Knowing what to expect before you call can make arranging generator service feel much easier. We follow a consistent process so homeowners understand each step from the first conversation to the end of the visit.

When you call (219) 754-5380, our team collects basic information about your home, your generator or electrical system, and the concern that brought you to us. We discuss any immediate safety issues, such as downed lines or strong fuel smells, and recommend appropriate next steps if we suspect a hazard. From there, we look for appointment times that work with your schedule, including same-day or weekend options when possible.

Before your appointment, we provide an expected arrival window. Our electricians arrive in clearly marked vehicles and introduce themselves at the door so you know who is in your home. We listen to your description of the issue or your goals for a new generator, then inspect the equipment, electrical panel, and related systems.

After this inspection, we explain what we found in straightforward language and discuss your options. For installation projects, that might mean talking through generator sizes and placement. For repairs, it usually involves describing the likely cause of the issue and giving you pricing before work begins. You stay in control of the decisions at every step.

While we work, we treat your home with respect. We move carefully around furniture and belongings, use protective coverings when appropriate, and keep tools organized. When the job is complete, we test the system with you present whenever possible, answer questions about operation and basic checks, and clean up our work area.

At the end of the visit, we can discuss whether scheduled maintenance or our Safety Savings Plan might be useful for your situation. Some homeowners prefer to schedule annual generator service in advance, while others wait until they see warning signs. We help you choose a plan that fits your comfort level and budget.

If you are ready to take the next step, we invite you to call and talk with our team about your home’s generator needs.
