When the power goes out, your home stays on.
A Generac home standby generator turns on automatically within seconds of an outage and runs on natural gas or propane — keeping your heat, lights, fridge, and well pump going until the grid comes back. Installed start to finish by Koken Home.

How a Generac standby generator protects your home
Automatic backup power — no cords, no gas cans, no scrambling
Starts in seconds, automatically
An automatic transfer switch senses the outage and starts the generator — even when you're not home.
Runs on natural gas or propane
No refueling with gas cans. Natural gas gives unlimited runtime; propane works where gas lines don't reach.
Powers what matters
Heat and A/C, refrigerator, well & sump pumps, lights, internet, and medical devices — sized to your home.
Safe & seamless
The transfer switch isolates your home from the grid, protecting utility crews and your appliances.

Straight answers about backup power
How much does a Generac standby generator cost?
Most whole-home standby systems run roughly $8,000–$16,000 installed, depending on the size you need, your fuel type, electrical panel, and site work. The generator unit itself is typically $2,000–$5,000, with installation, transfer switch, pad, gas, and permits on top. We give you an exact, itemized quote after a free in-home assessment — no surprises.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on your home's electrical load, not just its square footage — things like your HVAC, well or sump pump, refrigerator, and any medical devices. Bigger isn't always better; many homes don't need to back up the entire panel. We size it to what actually matters to you, so you don't overpay.
Natural gas or propane?
Both work great. Natural gas runs off your existing gas line for unlimited runtime and lower fuel cost — ideal if you have service to the home. Propane stores in an onsite tank and is perfect where natural gas isn't available. We'll confirm your gas line is sized correctly and recommend the best fit.
How fast does it turn on during an outage?
Automatically, within seconds. An automatic transfer switch constantly monitors utility power; the instant it detects an outage it starts the generator and safely switches your home over — no manual steps, and it switches back when the grid returns.
Does it need maintenance?
Yes — like any engine, an annual service keeps it reliable and helps maintain your warranty. We offer maintenance and service so your backup power is ready when you need it most.
Do you handle permits and the install?
Yes. We handle the assessment, permits, concrete pad, electrical, gas connection, transfer switch, and startup testing — a complete, code-compliant installation from a local team that stands behind the work.
