Losing power is more than an inconvenience here. Storms roll through the region regularly, and an outage can mean spoiled food, a home that swings to uncomfortable temperatures, a sump pump that stops when you need it, and medical equipment left without power. A whole-home standby generator changes all of that. Wired permanently into your home’s electrical system, it senses an outage the instant it happens, starts on its own, and restores power within seconds, then shuts down automatically once the grid returns.

What separates a standby generator from a portable one is that it is a permanent part of your electrical system, and that is precisely why installation belongs with a licensed electrician. The generator has to be tied correctly into your panel through an automatic transfer switch, sized to carry the loads that matter, and installed to code, and getting any of that wrong undermines the whole system when the storm actually hits.

The most important decision in a generator project is sizing, because it determines what stays on when the grid goes down. A generator sized only for the bare essentials will keep a few critical circuits alive, while a larger system can run the whole home, HVAC included, as if nothing happened. Neither is automatically right; the best choice depends on what your household genuinely needs to keep running during an outage.

That assessment is where our electricians add value, because sizing is as much about the electrical connection as the generator itself. We evaluate your home’s essential loads, confirm your electrical panel can integrate the system through a proper transfer switch, and make sure the whole setup is protected, often alongside whole-home surge protection, since the same storms that cause outages also cause surges. Handling both the generator and the electrical work around it is what makes for a standby system you can actually count on.

A whole-home generator is a significant investment in your family’s comfort and safety, and our GreenSky financing makes it manageable by spreading the cost into payments that fit your budget rather than a single large sum. Backup power for the next storm should not have to wait.

Combined with our upfront pricing, financing keeps a generator project clear and predictable. We assess your home, size the system, and lay out the full cost and your options before any work begins, so you can plan the investment with confidence and no surprises down the line.

What is the difference between a standby generator and a portable one?

A portable generator is a separate unit you roll out, fuel, and connect with cords during an outage, powering only a few things.

Where is the best place to install a standby generator?

Generators must be installed outdoors with proper clearance from doors, windows, and vents while meeting local building and electrical code requirements.

What fuel does a whole-home generator use?

Most standby generators run on natural gas or propane. Natural gas draws from your existing supply with no tank to refill, while propane works where a gas line does not reach. 

Will a standby generator increase my home’s value?

Many buyers view a permanently installed standby generator as a desirable feature, especially in areas where severe weather and power outages occur.

Does a standby generator need regular maintenance?

Yes. A standby generator exercises itself periodically, but it still needs regular professional service to stay reliable, since a unit that fails to start during an outage defeats the purpose.

Generator installation sits at the intersection of electrical skill and reliability, which is exactly where Tim Ferguson Plumbing, Air & Electric has built its name over roughly 25 years. We are a licensed company under license number 78246, and our electricians have earned recognition including American Standard’s Building a Higher Standard Award and an Excellent Electrician seal of approval. A standby system is only as good as the installation behind it, so it belongs with a team that wires it correctly and to code.

Every installation comes with the fair, upfront pricing we are known for, so you know the full cost before we begin. That mix of licensed expertise, real recognition, and honest pricing is what makes us the team West Tennessee homeowners trust to keep the lights on when the grid cannot.

Our electricians install standby generators throughout Memphis, Jackson, and the surrounding communities, including Millington, Lakeland, and Bartlett. Storms affect the whole region, and homes across it benefit from backup power that kicks in automatically when the grid goes down.

From homes on the outskirts where outages run longer to established neighborhoods that lose power in every big storm, we install standby systems across the area. Wherever your home sits, we keep it powered when it matters.

The next storm that takes out the power is a question of when, not if, and a whole-home standby generator turns that outage into a non-event.
