Whole-house generator installation in Des MoinesNever sit in the dark again.
The most complete generator setup in Iowa. A Generac whole-house generator, installed by our own certified crew, monitored 24/7, maintained for three years, and backed by a Zero-Blackout Promise. When the grid goes down, your house doesn't.
Why Des Moines homes need a whole-house generator
Derechos in summer, ice in winter. The power goes out, and everything that keeps your house safe stops at the same moment. A portable generator means standing in the storm with gas cans. A whole-house generator starts itself.

The sump pump stops when the rain starts
The storm that knocks the power out is the same storm filling your basement. The furnace and water heater sit right where the water goes.

Ice storms take the lines down for days
One iced-up limb on a line can mean days without power across the metro. A house loses heat fast below zero, and burst pipes are the expensive version of a cold night.

The fridge, the freezer, the Wi-Fi, the CPAP
A full freezer, a home office, a medical device on the nightstand. Multi-day outages aren't rare here, and none of these wait well.
Generac generator installation, handled end to end
The generator, the install, the permits, the monitoring and the first three years of maintenance, in one price. No subcontractors, no add-ons later.
