What You Get

Standby and Portable Generators

Done once, done to code, inspected.

Standby generator

Permanently installed, on natural gas or propane, with an automatic transfer switch. Starts itself seconds after the power drops.

Portable generator hookup

An inlet on the outside wall and an interlock or transfer switch at the panel. Roll the generator out, plug in, flip over. Legal and safe.

Sized to what matters

Whole house, or the essentials: heat, fridge, well or sump pump, lights, internet. We size it to the list, not to the biggest unit.

Permit and inspection

The City of Des Moines issues its own electrical permits and does its own inspections instead of L&I. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Local Knowledge

What Is Different About Des Moines

The panel, the lot and the utility decide most of the job. Here is what we usually find.

Outages in Des Moines

Des Moines is on PSE. The bluff and the waterfront neighborhoods, Redondo, Woodmont and Zenith, take the wind straight off the Sound, and the trees take the lines down with them.

Des Moines houses

1950s–70s houses with small panels and tight lots. A portable generator inlet with an interlock is the common install; standby units go where there is side-yard room for the clearances.

Who supplies the power

Puget Sound Energy.

The transfer switch sees the outage and starts the generator within about ten seconds. Lights back on, nobody touches anything.

Yes, for the electrical side. The City of Des Moines issues its own electrical permits and does its own inspections instead of L&I. We pull the permit and meet the inspector. The fuel line is done by a licensed gas fitter.

Portable with an inlet and interlock covers the essentials for a fraction of the cost and needs you home to start it. Standby covers everything and starts itself. We quote whichever fits.

You get the exact price after we size it and look at the panel and the site, before any work starts. You approve it first.
