Plymouth is the largest town in Marshall County, Indiana and south of our Mishawaka shop. It is a market where standby generators make particular sense, because Marshall County is overwhelmingly a county of homeowners - roughly three quarters of Plymouth's housing is owner-occupied.
That matters because a standby generator is a permanent improvement to a building. It is an investment you make in a house you intend to keep.
Once you are outside the larger towns, the practical reality of an outage changes. Restoration crews work the biggest circuits first, so a rural line with fewer customers on it waits. Add a well pump and a septic system and the difference between four hours and two days stops being an abstraction.
If you are on a well, no power means no water at all - not for drinking, washing or flushing. It is the single most common reason our rural customers finally make the call.
Kohler, where we hold Platinum Dealer status, and Briggs & Stratton. The generator sits outside on a pad, runs on natural gas or propane, and transfers automatically within seconds of the utility dropping. We do not service Generac.
Free, about half an hour, at your property. We list what you need running, inspect the panel and discuss placement. You get a written quote by email and a follow-up the next day. Installations run six to twelve weeks out from a signed contract.
Bremen, Argos, Bourbon, Culver and the rest of Marshall County, plus Mishawaka and South Bend to the north.
A home generator plus installation typically starts at around $8,000, and rural installations sometimes sit at the higher end simply because the gas run or the placement is longer. We will tell you which applies at your property rather than after. Financing is available through EnergyPlus and the National Energy Improvement Fund.
We offer a three-year service agreement at a discounted rate, or will-call service at $100 more per visit. On rural properties the agreement earns its keep: you are further down the restoration list to begin with, so a unit that has not been serviced is a worse gamble here than in town.
Gemmer Electric was founded in 2005 and the owner, John Gemmer, still runs the assessments himself - 31 years an electrician and 20 of them a fireman. The crew that installs your generator is the crew that comes back to service it.
