Home Generator Installation in Peterborough, Lindsay and Kawartha Lakes
Backup power that actually works when you need it most.
When storms hit or grid outages drag on, your generator becomes the only thing keeping your home running. Gravity Plumbing & Heating installs the two systems local homeowners rely on most — Generac standby generators and the GenerLink meter-mounted transfer switch. Clear options, expert installation, and backup power that doesn’t fail.
Two Backup Systems That Protect Your Home
1. Generac Standby Generators
Automatic. Permanent. Powers your entire home.
A Generac standby generator sits outside like an AC unit and turns on the second the power fails. No pulling cords. No refuelling in the dark. No hassle.
What You Get
- Fully automatic start during outages
- Connects to natural gas or propane
- Runs full home or selected circuits
- Installed with a proper transfer switch by Gravity’s licensed electricians
- Reliable permanent fuel source
- Powers heat pumps, furnaces, wells, fridges, freezers, lighting — even full-home loads
Available Sizes
- 14 kW
- 18 kW
- 22 kW (most popular)
- 24 kW (top choice for full-home backup)
Best For You If
- You want true hands-off protection
- You want long-duration outage coverage
- You don’t want to deal with portable generator setups
- You want full-home comfort running non-stop
2. GenerLink Meter-Mounted Transfer Switch
The safest way to use your portable generator — without rewiring your panel.
This system lets you power key circuits safely during outages using the portable generator you already own.
How It Works
- Installed directly by your utility provider
- Connects to your hydro meter
- You plug your portable generator into the GenerLink using a dedicated cord
- Prevents backfeeding so no dangerous electricity flows into the grid
- No panel rewiring, no extension cords, no unsafe workarounds
Best For You If
- You already own a portable generator
- You want a safe and fast way to power essentials
- You want something budget-friendly
- You don’t need a full-home automatic system
