Generator Installation

The wind howls, the lights flicker, and then—darkness. In these stressful moments, a home without a backup power source is vulnerable. For over 70 years, Meyer’s Companies has helped homeowners in Northwest Indiana and South Chicagoland stay safe and comfortable with reliable generator installation. A professionally installed generator provides not just power, but peace of mind and lasting value for your home.

Do I Really Need to Install a Generator?

Yes, installing a generator is a critical investment in your family’s safety and security. A generator helps your home remain functional and comfortable, especially if you:

• Experience frequent power outages due to severe weather or an unreliable power grid.
• Depend on essential electrical medical equipment for health and well-being.
• Work from home, requiring an uninterrupted power and internet connection.
• Need to keep your sump pump running during heavy rains to prevent costly basement flooding.

How Long Do Home Generators Usually Last?

A well-maintained home generator typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, making it a valuable long-term investment for your home’s safety and functionality. When properly installed and serviced, a standby generator adds significant value to your property and pays for itself by protecting your home from the costs and hassles of power outages. With over 70 years of experience, Meyer’s Companies installs your generator flawlessly to deliver maximum performance and longevity.
