Maryland storms take the grid down every year. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch brings the house back in seconds, and a portable inlet setup covers the essentials for a lot less money.

“Outlet started sparking while I was making dinner. They talked me through shutting off the right breaker on the phone, then got here in under an hour.”
“Our 1948 house still had knob and tube in the attic. They rewired it room by room so we never lost power for more than an afternoon, and patched everything they opened up.”
“Our salon lost power on a Saturday morning with a full book of clients. They rerouted us onto a temporary feed within two hours and came back Monday for the permanent fix.”
A 22kW to 26kW standby unit carries most Ellicott City homes including central air. Smaller 11kW to 18kW units run essentials - furnace, fridge, well pump, lights and outlets - for a lot less money.
Installed standby generator projects in Ellicott City usually land between $8,000 and $16,000 including the automatic transfer switch and pad. A manual transfer switch with a generator inlet for a portable unit is typically $1,200 to $2,500.
We do the electrical side - the pad, the set, the transfer switch and the tie-in - and coordinate directly with your gas plumber or propane supplier so the two trades do not trip over each other.
With an automatic transfer switch, yes. The unit senses the outage, starts, and transfers the house over in roughly ten to thirty seconds, then switches back and shuts down when the grid returns.
