  Northern Illinois experiences frequent power outages from severe storms, ice, and high
winds. A whole-home backup generator provides:

Automatic Power Restoration - Your generator detects outages and powers on
automatically within seconds, no manual intervention needed.

Medical Equipment Protection - Keep CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and
refrigerated medications running without interruption.

Food Preservation - Prevent hundreds of dollars in spoiled food during extended
outages.

Home Comfort - Maintain heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, plus hot
water and cooking capabilities.

Sump Pump Operation - Prevent basement flooding during storms when you need your
sump pump most.

Security Systems - Keep alarm systems, cameras, and outdoor lighting operational.

Business Continuity - For home-based businesses, generators prevent lost productivity
and income during outages.

Increased Home Value - Backup generators are attractive selling points that increase
property value.
 

  We help you select the perfect generator capacity based on your specific needs:

16kW Generators - Powers essential circuits including refrigerator, furnace, lights, and
some outlets. Ideal for smaller homes or budget-conscious homeowners wanting basic
protection.

18kW Generators - Adds capacity for well pumps, sump pumps, and additional circuits.
Good for medium-sized homes with gas appliances.

22kW Generators - Powers most of your home including one central air conditioning
unit. Our most popular size for typical Rockford homes.

appliances, and all circuits. Best for larger homes or those wanting complete coverage.
