Power outages can be a frustrating experience. Never be left in the dark again by hiring a trustworthy Milwaukee area electrician to install a reliable backup power source for your home. Ideal Electric installs whole-home generators in Southeastern Wisconsin. Take advantage of our over 30 years of experience in installing, repairing, and maintaining generators to handle the entire process for you.
One of the main reasons you should buy a home generator is to never be left in the dark again. Power outages leave your home's most important appliances idle, such as your furnace or air conditioner, refrigerator, and freezer. One way to avoid these inconveniences is with a home generator. During outages, a generator can supply backup power, ensuring your critical appliances and devices continue to function.
Portable generators and standby generators are the two most common generator types for homes. Either type has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, with some of the biggest differences in price and power output abilities. Confused about which one you should buy? Read our guide on portable vs standby home generators.
Finding the best generator is not an easy task. You must determine how much power your home requires when the power goes out (lights, appliances, etc.) and which type of energy source is bets for the generator. Ideal Electric makes this easy for you. We'll help calculate and select the generator best suited for your home and budget. And we'll install your new generator and any supporting amenities needed to ensure safe operation when you need it most.
