Backup Generator Installation

Protect your home or business from power outages with a professionally installed backup generator. We install automatic standby generators that turn on within seconds of a power failure.

Power outages in the Lower Mainland can last from hours to days, particularly during winter storms that bring down power lines. Budget Heating & Plumbing installs whole-home standby generators and portable generator transfer switches throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, providing reliable backup power when you need it most. Whole-home standby generators are permanently installed outside your home, connected to your natural gas or propane supply, and automatically start within seconds of a power outage. They can power your entire home or selected essential circuits, including heating, refrigeration, lighting, and medical equipment. We install generators from leading brands and size each system based on your home's power requirements and which circuits you want to protect. For homeowners who prefer a more economical solution, we also install manual transfer switches for portable generators, allowing you to safely connect a portable generator to your home's electrical system without the risk of backfeed. All generator installations require electrical permits and BC Safety Authority inspection. Our licensed electricians handle all permits and inspections as part of the installation. We also provide annual generator maintenance services, including oil changes, spark plug replacement, battery testing, and load testing to ensure your generator is ready when you need it. Budget Heating is BBB A+ rated with hundreds of verified Google reviews, and all our generator installations are performed by licensed electricians and gas fitters.
