Generator Installers

Whole Home Generator Installation Services

Power outages in Western Washington are unpredictable. Wind, storms, and downed lines can interrupt electricity with little notice. When that happens, daily routines stop fast.

Heating systems shut down. Refrigerators go quiet. Lights and outlets go dead.

Whole Home Generator Installation gives homeowners a way to stay prepared. Instead of scrambling during an outage, the home keeps running.

Black Hills handles generator installation with a steady, practical approach. We help homeowners plan the system, install it correctly, and understand how it will work once it is in place.

Why Consider Getting a Generator

Many homeowners start thinking about a generator after experiencing a longer outage. Others plan ahead to avoid disruption altogether.

A whole home generator can help with:

Keeping heat, refrigeration, and lighting running during outages
Reducing food loss during extended power interruptions
Maintaining comfort during storms and utility issues
Providing backup power without relying on portable equipment

For many households, backup power brings a sense of calm during a stressful situation.

What to Expect During a New Generator Installation

Generator installation is a process, but it does not have to be overwhelming. Knowing what to expect helps homeowners feel more comfortable moving forward.

During installation, you can expect:

A review of your home’s electrical setup and power needs
Discussion around generator placement and system layout
Preparation of the installation area
Professional electrical and system connections
Testing and a walkthrough once installation is complete

Our goal is to keep the process clear and organized so you know what is happening at each step.

Sizing a Generator

Choosing the right generator size is one of the most important parts of whole home generator installation. A system that is too small may struggle to keep up. A system that is too large may cycle inefficiently.

Sizing considerations include:

The size of the home and electrical demand
Which systems need power during an outage
Heating, cooling, and appliance requirements
How the home is typically used day to day

A proper evaluation helps ensure the generator is matched to the home instead of guessing or oversimplifying the decision.

Real Comments From Real People

So Very Impressed

- Debbie F.

Diamond Harris was the HVAC Design who came to my house to give me an estimate for a tankless water heater. I was so very impressed. His customer service, extensive knowledge, and professionalism certainly earn the grade of an A+. A true reflection on black hills Inc.'s hiring practice of hiring and retaining only the best employees. My estimate included not only the tankless water heater but the full installation. Diamond Harris is an asset to your company. Black hills inc was referred to me by my parents who had 3 major projects completed by black hills Inc., and loved working with them. With employees like Diamond, I now see why. Such a positive experience. Thank you. Please give my sincere thank-you to Diamond

Awesome Customer Service

- Lillian B.

We spoke to 3 different companies to get an estimate for a new system. Black Hills was the only company that did exactly what they said they would do from the start. I appreciate the text/photo letting me know who would be arriving and he came right on time. Travis was very polite and professional and answered all of our questions. The installation crew was also very quick and professional and cleaned up afterward. Follow-ups to make sure we were happy with service also appreciated. Awesome customer service

Great Service

- Jordon C.

Great service, No BS. Our AC was not keeping up, had a feeling it was because of a leaking coil on the inner unit. Was confirmed by Black Hills Inc. and was set-up with an appointment with a comfort specialist. After the survey with the specialist (Bento Yanez), we sat down and discussed options for replacement, turning out that full replacement with a heat pump/ac/new furnace would be the most efficient cost-effective option. Black Hills was able to access all the previous history on our unit since prior homeowners had used them, they could pull up everything that had previous work done. Looking forward to the replacement unit being installed in only 4 days, after the survey.
