Generator Installation

Why Install a Backup Generator?

Power outages in Georgia aren't just an annoyance—they can spoil food, knock out heating and cooling, disable medical equipment, and leave your home vulnerable. A properly installed backup generator keeps your essential systems running the moment the grid goes down. Homeowners across Cartersville choose backup power for peace of mind, protecting their:

• Refrigerators and freezers full of food
• HVAC systems that keep the home safe in extreme temperatures
• Sump pumps that prevent basement flooding
• Medical devices and home offices that can't afford downtime
• Security systems, lighting, and everyday comfort

A backup generator is an investment in safety and convenience that pays off the first time the lights flicker.

Standby Generators — Automatic Backup Power

A standby (or whole-home) generator is permanently installed outside your home, much like an AC unit, and turns on automatically within seconds of an outage—no manual setup required. Running on natural gas or propane, it can power your entire home or just your essential circuits, depending on your needs and budget.

As a proud installer of Generac systems—the most trusted name in home standby power—EaZy Pros helps you choose the right size and model for your home. Generac generators are known for their reliability, quiet operation, and smart monitoring features that let you check your system right from your phone. That said, we work with a range of quality manufacturers, so we'll always recommend the best fit for your home rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Portable Generator Plugs & Inlet Hookups

Not every home needs a full standby system. If you own a portable generator—or are thinking about one—EaZy Pros can install a generator inlet plug that lets you safely power your home's essential circuits during an outage. Instead of running a tangle of extension cords, a professionally installed inlet box and manual transfer switch let you plug your portable generator directly into your home, powering the circuits that matter most.

This is a budget-friendly way to keep your refrigerator, furnace, well pump, and key outlets running when the grid goes down. Most importantly, a proper inlet hookup is the safe way to connect a portable generator—our licensed electricians wire everything to code so you're protected.

Transfer Switches — The Heart of a Safe Installation

Every generator hookup needs a transfer switch, and this is where a licensed electrician is essential. The transfer switch safely connects your generator to your home's electrical system, preventing dangerous "backfeed" that can endanger you and utility workers. There are two main types:

• Automatic transfer switches, which detect an outage and start your standby generator instantly without any action from you.
• Manual transfer switches, a budget-friendly option commonly paired with portable generators and inlet plugs to safely power selected circuits.

Improper transfer switch wiring is one of the most common—and most dangerous—DIY mistakes. Our team installs every switch to code, ensuring your system is safe, reliable, and ready when you need it. This is exactly the kind of work that pairs naturally with our electrical panel upgrade services, since a modern panel is often the foundation for a clean generator hookup.

Full-Service Electrical Expertise

Because a generator ties directly into your home's electrical system, it's a job for experienced electricians—not a weekend project. EaZy Pros brings the same expertise to your generator hookup that we bring to all our electrical services, including panel upgrades, whole-house surge protection, and electrical inspections. Pairing your new generator with surge protection is a smart way to safeguard your appliances and electronics from the power fluctuations that often accompany outages. And as a full-service home company, we can also handle your HVAC and plumbing needs—all under one roof.
