Home Generator Installation

A power outage in an Ontario winter storm is not just an inconvenience — it can mean a frozen furnace, a flooded basement sump pump, and spoiled food within hours. The Gravity Group installs standby home generators and GenerLink transfer systems that switch your home to backup power automatically, often before you even notice the outage.

We work with trusted brands sized to cover your essential circuits — furnace, sump pump, refrigerator, and lighting — or your entire home, depending on your budget and needs. Every installation includes the electrical and gas work required to run safely and legally.

Standby generators pair naturally with a furnace or heat pump upgrade, ensuring your heating system keeps running even when the grid does not — a real concern for rural properties around Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough that see longer restoration times after major storms.

Not sure whether you need a permanent Generac-style standby system or a GenerLink portable hookup? Start with our homeowner guide: Generac vs GenerLink.

Why Rural & Ontario Homeowners Choose Standby Power

Properties around Kawartha Lakes, Lindsay, and Peterborough often see longer power restoration times after ice storms and major weather events than more urban areas. A standby generator removes the guesswork — it starts automatically, often within seconds of an outage.

For homes with a furnace, well pump, or sump pump, backup power is not a luxury — it is protection against frozen pipes and basement flooding.

Generac Standby vs GenerLink

A Generac home standby generator is a permanently installed system that can restore power automatically. GenerLink is a meter-mounted transfer device that lets you safely connect a compatible portable generator — no extension cords through the house.

They are different tools. Standby generators win when you want hands-off whole-home protection. GenerLink wins when you already own a portable generator and mainly need essential circuits.

Sizing & Fuel Considerations

Generators are sized to cover either your essential circuits or your entire electrical panel. We review your home’s load, available fuel source (natural gas or propane), and budget before recommending equipment.

Large loads like central air, heat pumps and well pumps need careful starting-watt calculations — especially if you are considering GenerLink, which is capacity-limited compared with a properly sized standby unit.

FAQ

Common Questions

Automatic standby systems typically detect an outage and start within seconds, restoring power before most homeowners even notice.
GenerLink is a meter-mounted transfer device that lets you safely connect a portable generator to your home’s electrical system without extension cords. It is more manual than a full standby generator. See our Generac vs GenerLink guide for a full comparison.
Sometimes. We assess your existing panel during the quote process and will let you know if upgrades are needed. Learn more on our residential electrician page.
Yes, that is one of the most common reasons homeowners install standby power — protecting against frozen pipes and basement flooding during an outage.
GenerLink gives access to household circuits, but available power is limited by the portable generator and GenerLink rating. GenerLink guidance warns against operating central air or a heat pump through the device because starting demand can exceed capacity.
