Not just new equipment — a system done correctly.

Battery Backup Installation

ABC Service installs Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ, and FranklinWH battery systems with whole-home or critical-load backup. Batteries cover outages and reduce time-of-use bills — two payoffs from one piece of equipment.

Standby Generator Installation

We install natural-gas standby generators from Generac and Kohler for homes and small commercial sites where long, multi-day outages are a real concern. Sizing matches measured load, not nameplate guesswork.

Transfer Switch & Sub-Panel

We size manual and automatic transfer switches and build critical-load sub-panels so the circuits that matter stay live. Transfer equipment, grounding, and interconnection are done by code, every time.

Service & Monitoring

Our team services existing battery and generator systems — firmware updates, monitoring reviews, and load-profile analysis — so the backup actually works when the grid drops.

Why it matters

Why this is worth doing right.

Outage resilience

PSPS events and storm outages are now a planning assumption, not a rare exception.

Right-sized backup

Most homes don't need whole-home backup. A well-designed critical-load setup costs a fraction and works.

Stacked value

Batteries cover outages and reduce time-of-use bills — two payoffs from one piece of equipment.

Safety

Transfer switches, grounding, and interconnection protect line workers and your equipment. Done by code, always.
