Reasons Iowa Homeowners Are Going Whole-Home
Storms, heat domes, ice events, and aging grid infrastructure mean outages aren't rare anymore — they're expected. A standby generator turns "the power's out" into a non-event.
Sound familiar?
- Multiple multi-hour outages in the last 12 months
- Sump pump on a battery you've had to replace twice
- Family member relies on medical equipment or oxygen
- You work from home and can't afford lost meetings
- Freezer or fridge full of food you don't want to lose
- Smart home, security, or remote-start equipment
- Detached garage, shop, or barn that needs power
- Tired of dragging a portable generator out at 2 a.m.
$500 Off. Free Estimate. Zero Pressure.
A whole-home generator is a serious investment in your family's comfort and safety — and we make it easy to start without risk.
$500 Off Your New Generator
Save $500 on the install of a new whole-home Generac when you book your free estimate through this page. Stack with available financing for the lowest monthly payment.
Free, Written Estimate
A licensed electrician will walk your home, confirm sizing, scope the install (gas line, transfer switch, pad), and leave a written, itemized quote you can take to bed.
Two Brands. Built To Run When You Need Them.
We install and service the two most trusted names in residential standby power.
Generac
The most popular home standby generator brand in America. Generac air-cooled and liquid-cooled units self-test weekly, kick on within seconds of an outage, and are backed by a strong manufacturer warranty (5–10 years depending on model).
Kohler
A commercial-grade engine in a residential package. Kohler home standby generators are known for quiet operation, fast transfer times, and a 5-year, 2,000-hour limited warranty on residential models.
Three Simple Steps. No Pressure.
From the first call to the day your generator runs its first weekly self-test, we handle every detail.
Book Your Free Estimate
Call or fill out the short form. We'll confirm same-day and text you a 30-minute arrival window for the in-home visit.
On-Site Walk & Sizing
A licensed electrician sizes the unit to your home's load, checks gas service, plans transfer-switch placement, and writes you an itemized quote.
Install, Inspect, Activate
We pull the permits, pour the pad, run gas and electrical, install the transfer switch, and walk you through your new system.

"My wife is on home oxygen and we couldn't risk another long outage. The estimate was free, the quote was written and clear, and the electrician walked us through every option. Generator runs its weekly self-test like clockwork. Total peace of mind."
