Standby Generators

Whole-house standby generators for reliable backup power.

Ireland Contracting installs whole-house standby generators that automatically power your home during outages. A permanently installed generator protects your heat, sump pump, refrigeration, and medical equipment when the grid goes down.

Unlike portable units, a standby generator is wired into your home and kicks on automatically within seconds of an outage — no fuel cans, no extension cords.

We handle sizing, placement, and installation so your generator carries the loads that matter most to your household.

What's included

  • Automatic backup within seconds of an outage
  • Powers heat, sump pumps, and refrigeration
  • Professionally sized to your home
  • Quiet, permanent installation
  • Peace of mind during storms

How much does it cost?

Whole-house standby generator installations commonly range from about $7,000 to $15,000+ depending on the unit size and electrical work required.
