Home Standby Generators
Stay prepared.
Why Invest in One?
Power outages aren’t just inconvenient, they can be costly, stressful, and even dangerous. With Vancouver Island’s increasingly unpredictable weather—from powerful windstorms to prolonged heavy rains and flooding—outages are lasting longer and happening more often.
A Generac Home Standby Generator ensures you’re always prepared. It automatically restores power within seconds, keeping your home safe, your food fresh, and your family comfortable — even when the grid goes down.
Avoid the Headaches of a Power Outage
- Food spoils within hours, costing hundreds in groceries.
- Heavy rains + power loss can disable sump pumps, leading to basement flooding.
- Plumbing and heating risks can lead to costly water damage.
- Families may need to relocate for heat, hot water, and safety.
- Working from home stops without reliable power and internet.
