Standby Generator Installation

When the power goes out, your home keeps running

Storms and outages do not check the forecast with you first. A standby generator starts automatically when the power goes out and keeps the essentials running — heating and cooling, refrigerator and freezer, lights, well or sump equipment, and the outlets you rely on — until utility power comes back.

Saber Electric installs standby generators with automatic transfer for homeowners in the Mount Horeb and Madison area. We help you decide what the generator needs to carry, install the electrical side of the system, and set it up so it switches over on its own. You do not have to be home, haul out a portable unit, or run extension cords in the dark.

Good reasons homeowners add a generator

  • Frequent or long outages in your area

  • A well pump, sump pump, or septic system that cannot sit without power

  • Medical equipment or a home office that needs to stay on

  • Food loss from a fridge or freezer during a long outage

  • Peace of mind during winter storms and summer storm season

How the process works

  1. We talk through what you want to keep running during an outage — the whole house, or the essentials.

  2. We size the generator and transfer equipment to that load, rather than guessing.

  3. We install the electrical equipment and transfer switch and test the switchover with you.

Generator sizing matters. A unit that is too small will struggle under load, and a unit that is far larger than you need costs more to buy and run. If you are not sure what size fits your home, start with a conversation — we will walk through it with you.
