Generator Installation in Fort Wayne
Automatic Backup Power from a 5-Star Electrical Team
A winter freeze or summer storm can cut power, leaving local families with spoiled food and other household disruptions.
At Home Electric, we provide generator installation in Fort Wayne for homeowners and light commercial property owners who want an automatic source of backup power. These permanent systems detect a utility interruption and start without requiring you to set up or manually start a portable generator.
With over 11 years of foundational industry experience, we plan systems around each property and the intended level of outage coverage. We offer free estimates for homes within a 45-mile radius of our shop, along with same-day service. Emergency electrical support is also available for serious electrical failures during severe storms. Our work on high-value electrical projects is backed by a 5-star reputation and strong warranties.

Protect Your Property During Power Outages
A standby generator operates automatically, detecting an outage and turning on to support the circuits selected during installation. We handle subpanel coordination and necessary utility-line coordination as part of the project.
The automatic transfer switch coordinates utility power and generator power so the backup system can operate safely. We program it to trigger the generator when utility power drops and explain which circuits are set to transfer.
Our installation process covers site preparation, coordination of a dedicated concrete equipment pad, fuel connection planning, electrical integration, and system activation. Depending on the selected generator and the property’s existing infrastructure, the project can involve natural gas line work or a propane connection. Every system includes a properly sized automatic transfer switch, necessary subpanel coordination, and programming.
Types of Standby Generators We Offer
As a preferred and authorized Generac installer, we offer Generac standby systems for residential and light commercial properties.
The residential Generac air-cooled generators we offer range from 10kW to 24kW. Available residential liquid-cooled systems range from 22kW to 150kW. The right capacity depends on a load assessment and whether you want to support essential circuits, major equipment, or broader property coverage.
Every unit we install is a permanent, weatherproof fixture connected directly to the property’s natural gas or propane supply. Unlike portable equipment, a standby generator is integrated with the property’s electrical and fuel systems.
For light commercial clients, we offer Generac’s Protector and Protector QS systems. These options address heavier and more sustained electrical loads than typical residential applications, with selection based on the equipment that must remain operational during an outage.
Make your electrical project more affordable with simple, flexible payment options through Hearth. Apply in minutes and get the work you need today without the upfront financial strain.
Sizing Your Generator for Your Property’s Needs
Installing a unit that is too small for your home leaves critical systems unprotected during an outage. Installing one that is significantly oversized can increase equipment and operating costs. Proper sizing requires a detailed load calculation that accounts for your existing circuits, major appliances, and any high-demand equipment.
A load calculation can include refrigeration, heating equipment, well pumps, motor loads, and other equipment you want to operate during an outage. Generator capacity should be based on those demands rather than house size alone.
A whole-home system powerful enough to run every circuit in your home simultaneously is often unnecessary and more expensive than a correctly sized unit that prioritizes the systems your family actually depends on. We assess your property’s load requirements and recommend the Generac model that matches your intended coverage. We also explain which circuits will transfer automatically when the grid goes down.
