Generator Service in Farmington Hills, MI

Power outages in Farmington Hills rarely come with much warning. A strong summer thunderstorm can knock down lines in minutes. Heavy snow and ice in winter can leave neighborhoods without power for hours or even days. When that happens, refrigerators warm up, sump pumps stop cycling, and home offices go dark. If your basement is finished or your household depends on powered medical equipment, the risks grow quickly.

A professionally installed generator changes that equation. Instead of reacting to every outage, you gain a predictable backup plan. At Consumer Services Electric, we provide complete generator service Farmington Hills homeowners rely on for safe, code-compliant backup power. Our licensed, bonded, and insured electricians design and install generator systems that fit your home, your panel, and the way you actually live.

Why Farmington Hills Homeowners Trust Our Electricians

Inviting someone to modify your electrical system requires trust. A generator connects directly to your panel and can energize major circuits throughout your home. That work demands technical knowledge, attention to detail, and strict adherence to code.

At Consumer Services Electric, we built our company around high standards for residential electrical work. As a Qmerit Certified Solutions Partner, we follow established best practices for integrating new energy equipment into existing homes. That background supports thoughtful planning instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.

We also serve as a certified installer for Tesla, Inc. energy products and SPAN smart panels. Those certifications matter even in generator projects. Many homeowners now combine backup power with EV charging, load management, or future battery storage plans. We design generator connections that align with advanced panels and smart energy goals rather than conflict with them.

Our customers consistently describe our team as professional, dependable, and informative. We arrive on schedule, explain what we are doing in clear language, and respect your home from start to finish. When we finish a project, we label circuits clearly and leave wiring neat and organized. Those details matter when you or another electrician reviews the system years from now.

Our Generator Services for Local Homes

Every generator project begins with a conversation about priorities. Some homeowners want to power only essential loads such as a sump pump, refrigerator, and a few lighting circuits. Others prefer broader coverage that keeps heating systems, kitchen appliances, and home offices running.

We evaluate your electrical panel, service capacity, and major loads to recommend a generator size that matches your goals. We explain the difference between portable generators and permanently installed standby units. We discuss fuel types, placement requirements, and how transfer equipment works. Our role is to give you the information you need to choose confidently.

Our generator-related services include:

1. Home evaluation and load calculation
   We review your panel rating, breaker layout, and electrical demand. We calculate which circuits you want powered and how that affects generator sizing.
2. Transfer switch installation
   A properly installed transfer switch isolates your home from the utility grid during an outage. This protects line workers and your equipment. We install manual or automatic transfer switches according to your chosen setup.
3. Panel modifications and load management
   Some homes require panel adjustments to support generator integration. We complete this work with clear labeling and organized wiring.
4. Electrical troubleshooting and inspections
   If you already have a generator, we inspect wiring, test transfer equipment, and diagnose issues such as failed starts or inconsistent power delivery.
5. Coordination with modern panels and EV chargers
   If your home includes EV charging or a smart panel system, we design generator connections that work alongside those features.
