Residential Backup Generators
Keep Your Home Powered — Even When the Grid Goes Down
When the power goes out, your home shouldn’t go dark. From severe Wisconsin storms to grid interruptions, outages can leave your family without heat, lights, and essential power for hours or even days.
At The Wire Nuts, we install and service whole-home backup generator systems that automatically restore electricity within seconds of an outage.
You’ll never worry about spoiled food, frozen pipes, or dark hallways again — just comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
Why Install a Backup Generator?
Power outages can happen anytime — especially during Midwest winters, high winds, or summer storms.
A professionally installed standby generator keeps your home running safely and automatically.
Benefits include:
Automatic power restoration within seconds of an outage
Whole-home coverage for lights, appliances, HVAC, and water systems
Protection for medical equipment and sump pumps
Reliable standby power fueled by natural gas or propane — no refueling required
Peace of mind knowing your family is safe and comfortable year-round
We’ll help you choose the right size and system for your home’s layout, electrical load, and lifestyle.
Generator Installation & Setup
Our licensed electricians handle the entire installation — safely, cleanly, and to code.
Our process includes:
Site evaluation and load analysis to determine your power requirements.
System design and generator selection (typically Generac®, Kohler®, or Briggs & Stratton®).
Pad placement and fuel-line coordination with your plumber or utility provider.
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) installation for seamless power changeover.
Full system wiring, grounding, and testing for safety and reliability.
Final inspection and homeowner walk-through so you understand your new system.
Every installation meets Wisconsin State Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and manufacturer requirements for warranty and safety compliance.
Generator Maintenance & Service
Your generator must be ready at all times — and that means regular care.
We offer scheduled maintenance programs to keep your system reliable year-round.
Maintenance includes:
Oil, filter, and spark-plug changes
Battery and coolant inspections
Load-bank testing and runtime verification
Transfer-switch operation check
System cleaning and performance reporting
We track service intervals so you don’t have to — ensuring your generator is ready when you need it most.
What Size Generator Do You Need?
Not every home needs a massive system.
We’ll help you decide between essential-load coverage (just critical circuits) or whole-home power protection.
Typical options:
10-13 kW – Essential power for lights, refrigerator, sump pump, and furnace
16-20 kW – Covers most homes, including HVAC and water heater
22 kW+ – Whole-home solution with full comfort and security
Our goal is to size your system accurately — not oversell it.
Safety, Permits & Compliance
Every backup power installation is completed with full attention to safety and local requirements.
We handle:
Electrical and fuel permits
Utility notifications and inspections
Proper grounding and bonding
Carbon-monoxide clearance and exhaust routing
When we’re done, your system is safe, code-compliant, and ready for inspection.
Reliable electrical solutions for Wisconsin homes and businesses.
