Standby Generator Installation
When an ice storm or grid outage hits, keep your heat, well pump, and fridge running. We install whole-home standby generators that turn on by themselves.
Minnesota winters do not play around. Ice storms and high winds knock out power, sometimes for days. When the grid goes down in January, your furnace stops, your well pump quits, and your house gets cold fast. A whole-home standby generator fixes that.
A standby generator sits outside like an AC unit and runs on natural gas or propane. The second the power drops, it turns on by itself — even if you are not home. It keeps your heat, your well pump, your fridge, and your lights running until the grid comes back. No hauling out a portable unit in a blizzard.
Xpert Electric sizes the generator to your home, wires in the automatic transfer switch, and tests the whole system. We handle the electrical side from start to finish so your family stays warm and safe through any winter storm.

FAQ
Standby Generator Installation — common questions
Will a standby generator keep my heat and well pump on during a winter outage?
Yes. That is the whole point. Xpert Electric sizes the generator to power what matters most — your furnace, well pump, fridge, and lights — so your home stays warm and livable when the grid goes down in an ice storm.
Does the generator turn on by itself?
Yes. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch starts on its own within seconds of an outage, even when you're away. Xpert Electric installs and tests the full system so it just works.
