Who We Install For

HRM homeowners who've had enough of being left in the dark when the next storm rolls through.

Someone in your home relies on medical equipment and every outage turns into a long night of worry

You work from home and a storm means a dying laptop, a phone hotspot, and deadlines that don't move

You're on the outer edge of HRM (Fall River, Hammonds Plains, Tantallon, the Eastern Shore) where restoration always starts somewhere else

You've lived through one too many storms and want it done right the first time by people you can actually call

What You Walk Away With

A Home That Just Keeps Running

Automatic backup power, installed in one day, backed by a local team you can actually reach years down the road.

Automatic, Hands-Off

When the power drops, your Generac kicks in on its own in seconds. Fridge keeps running, furnace stays on, medical equipment never skips a beat. You don't lift a finger.

Installed In One Day

No weeks of mess, no running extension cords through the yard. Our crew pre-plans the install so most Generac systems are up and running by the end of a single day.

A Local Team You Can Actually Call

Lucasville-based electricians, Generac-certified, and the same crew you'll reach if anything comes up 5 years from now. Not a call-centre, not a chatbot, a real local phone number.

How It Works

Three Simple Steps

From first call to a home that stays running through storm season, without the runaround.

1

Free 30-Min Consultation

We talk through your home, what you need to keep running (medical equipment, home office, well pump, etc.), and roughly which Generac size makes sense.

2

On-Site Visit & Quote

We come out to your home, confirm the install location, check your panel, and give you a complete written quote. No pressure, no surprise add-ons later.

3

One-Day Install

Most Generac installs are completed in a single day. We test it, walk you through how it works, and you're set for the next storm before you know it.

"My first dealings with 1st Electric for a Generac full home generator system install. The preinstall and installation itself went extremely well with all persons involved and I was very pleased dealing with this company. I would recommend 1st Electric highly in this regard."

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight Answers Before You Book

Us. Directly. The same local team that installs your Generac is the one answering the phone 2, 5, or 10 years down the road. We're a locally owned HRM company based in Lucasville, not a franchise that routes to a national call-centre. Generac warranties are honoured through our shop, and we also offer annual service plans to keep your unit running at full capability (Joel LaRusic's review above is exactly that program in action).
That's exactly what the free 30-minute call is for. We walk through what you want to keep running during an outage (whole house vs. essentials only, medical equipment, well pump, home office, EV charger), your current electrical panel setup, and your fuel options (natural gas vs. propane). From there we recommend the right Generac size and model, with the honest reasoning. If a smaller unit covers what you actually need, we'll tell you (and your quote shrinks).
Depends who's in the home and what the outage costs you. For most families it's about peace of mind: knowing a medical device will keep running, that the sump pump won't fail during the next flood, that a home-based business doesn't lose a day of billable work every storm. We'll run the honest numbers for your specific situation on the call. If a Generac doesn't actually make sense for your home, we'll say so.
A Generac home standby generator sits outside your house like a central AC unit. It's hooked into your natural gas or propane line and connected to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch. When the grid power drops, the transfer switch senses the outage and the generator starts automatically within seconds. When grid power comes back, it switches back and powers down. You never have to do anything.
Most of our customers go from first call to installed generator inside 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the model, permit timing, and whether your gas line needs anything. The install itself is usually completed in a single day. We'll give you a real timeline on the quote so you can plan around it.
Free. 30 minutes on the phone. We ask about your home, your power priorities, your existing panel and fuel setup, and what you've been through during past outages. By the end you'll know roughly which Generac fits your home and whether an in-person site visit for a full quote is the right next step. No pressure, no obligation.

Stop Worrying About The Next Storm.

30 minutes on the phone and you'll know exactly which Generac fits your home, what it would cost, and when we could have it installed. Zero obligation.
