Reliable Backup Power for Your Home

Power outages can happen at any time during severe storms, grid failures or unexpected infrastructure issues. A residential standby generator ensures your home stays powered when the electrical grid goes down.

With more than 40 years of experience specializing in generators, our team helps homeowners protect their homes, families and essential systems with dependable standby power solutions.


We proudly install Briggs & Stratton standby generators, delivering reliable performance, industry-leading warranties and advanced backup power technology.

Why Install a Home Standby Generator?

A standby generator automatically restores power to your home when an outage occurs. This helps maintain comfort, safety and peace of mind.

Benefits of a Residential Generator

  • Standby generators detect outages and automatically restore power to your home within seconds.

  • Keep heating, cooling, refrigeration, security systems, and lighting running during outages.

  • Unlike portable generators, standby systems operate automatically and require no manual setup during emergencies.

  • Extreme weather events and grid strain have made outages more common. A standby generator ensures your home stays protected.

Partial Home vs Whole Home Generators

Every home has different power needs. J&H Power Solutions helps homeowners determine the right generator solution based on their property, electrical load and backup priorities.
