Why Invest in a Generator?
A generator’s primary purpose is to provide 24/7 backup power, ensuring your home or business stays operational during power outages.
Uninterrupted Power Supply
During inclement weather or grid failures, a generator keeps your essential systems running smoothly. Your refrigerator, freezer, and other critical appliances stay powered, preventing food spoilage and other inconveniences.
Continuous Internet Connection
In today’s digital age, maintaining a constant internet connection is crucial for both businesses and at-home workers. A backup generator keeps your connectivity intact, no matter what.
Automatic Activation
With an automatic standby generator, you don’t have to worry about starting the system manually. When the power goes out, the generator kicks in seamlessly, providing immediate power without any hassle.
Weather the Lake Michigan Storms with Confidence
Our proximity to Lake Michigan puts us at great risk for certain types of storms. We’ve all heard of the “lake effect” that occurs when cold air moves across the warmer waters of the lake. We know that this lake effect results in significant storms that cause power loss due to these occurrences:
Lake Effect Snow
High Winds
Thunderstorms
Flooding
Ice Storms
From ice and snow accumulating on power lines to other weather-related impacts, storms can damage electrical equipment and infrastructure. During power outages, a backup generator keeps your lights and appliances running until power is restored. A backup generator is your best defense against the lake effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about standby generator installations and services in West Michigan.
Should my generator run on natural gas or propane?
Both work, and we’ll connect to whichever you have. The tradeoff worth knowing is output: the same unit produces less on natural gas than on propane. For example, the 24kW Generac we install is rated 24,000 watts on liquid propane and 21,000 watts on natural gas. Natural gas means no tank to refill, while propane delivers more power from the same generator, but it is dependent on what’s in the tank. We factor the difference into sizing so you get the coverage you expect either way.
How large a generator does my home or business actually need?
Bigger isn’t automatically better. An oversized unit costs more and runs less efficiently. During the site visit, we evaluate your existing electrical service and calculate what your property actually draws, not what a chart estimates. For a home with substantial square footage and many appliances, the 24kW Generac covers nearly every circuit. For a business, we size to your facility and the equipment that can’t stop. Either way, you get a free estimate before any work starts.
Will you service a generator another company installed?
Yes. Our technicians are factory-trained on Generac, and we service all backup generator brands, regardless of who installed the unit. That covers routine service, diagnostics, and repairs, with after-hours emergency service available to ENS clients.
Does a Generac generator test itself, and will it start if nobody’s home?
Both, yes. A standby generator runs a brief self-test on a set schedule, typically weekly, to confirm it starts and charges. Generac’s Quiet-Test mode runs that check at reduced RPM, so it’s quieter and burns less fuel than a full-speed test. When an actual outage hits, the transfer switch starts the unit and moves your circuits over automatically, whether anyone is there or not.
Who handles permits and the gas connection?
We do all of it. Generator installations in Michigan require a permit and an inspection, and the unit needs a natural gas or propane connection sized for the load. ENS files the paperwork, coordinates with your utility, handles the fuel connection, and takes care of any site prep (pad, conduit, transfer switch location, etc.) before install day.
