Standby generators for La Porte and its lakes

Generator installation in La Porte

La Porte is the county seat of LaPorte County and well inside the area we cover from our shop. We cover the whole county, from the lakefront at Michigan City down through La Porte itself.

Lakes, trees and older housing

La Porte is built around its lakes, and lake-adjacent property tends to come with two things that matter here: mature trees near the service lines, and in many cases a sump pump doing real work in the spring. Both point the same direction. Northwest Indiana takes the same wind events that hit St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, and thousands of customers in this part of the state have been out in each of the last several storm seasons.

What a standby generator actually protects

  • Heat in January, when an unheated house is a plumbing bill waiting to happen
  • The refrigerator and freezer, which is the first few hundred dollars you lose
  • Water, if you are on a well - no power, no taps
  • The sump pump, which fails precisely during the storm that needed it
  • Electronics, which are as often killed by the surge on restoration as by the outage

How we size it

At your house, not on the phone. The free assessment takes about half an hour: your major appliances, your panel, your gas service and where the unit can sit. Then a written quote by email and a call the next day.

Kohler and Briggs & Stratton only

We are a Kohler Platinum Dealer with Kohler-authorized technicians, and a Briggs & Stratton dealer. We do not service Generac equipment.

The cost, plainly

A home generator plus installation typically starts at around $8,000. What moves it is the size of the unit and the installation itself - the gas run, the panel, the placement. Financing through EnergyPlus and the National Energy Improvement Fund is available if you would rather not pay it in one go.

Installation and lead time

Installations currently run six to twelve weeks out from a signed contract. We handle the pad, the gas connection, the electrical work, the transfer switch, the permit and the inspection, and a technician commissions the unit and walks you through it before we leave.

Afterwards

Maintenance is available on a three-year agreement at a discounted rate, or will-call at $100 more per visit. We service what we sell, so you are dealing with the same small crew rather than a national call center.
