Real Generator Work in Brookfield & Elm Grove Homes

Standby Generator Installation in Brookfield

Dean and Claire G. called after accidentally hitting a buried gas line near their pool heater. We installed an 18KW automatic standby generator on the existing pool equipment slab, ran a new dedicated 1-inch gas line from the meter to the pool heater and generator, and installed a transfer switch in the basement. Everything was tested and the generator is ready to automatically kick on during a power outage.

Standby Generator Installation in Brookfield

Tom G. called to have a standby generator installed to keep his lift pump and boiler running during power outages. Over two days we upgraded the electrical service to 200 amps, installed a transfer switch, ran a new gas line from the basement to the generator, and installed ground rods. Everything was inspected and a power failure test was completed before we wrapped up.

Eric S. called after experiencing multi-day power outages at his home in a heavily wooded area. We replaced the aging electrical service with a new 200-amp panel and transfer switch, ran a new 1-inch gas line to the generator, and installed the generator outside the back of the home. A power failure test was completed, and the generator was registered and set up with mobile monitoring before we left.

Austin Plumbing and Air Conditioning did a wonderful job installing my new Generac generator. The installers kept our house clean, laying down tarps to protect the floors and carpet. The salesperson Darren K. explained everything, they showed great professionalism and workmanship. A great choice to use in the future if one would need their service.

(We had an) installation of a generator power inlet box and center panel interlock kit. They are very courteous business approach, responsive to my needs, returned calls quickly and constantly stayed in touch. Technicians were prompt, well mannered and completed the job quickly and cleaned up afterwards. Informed me of all the steps, challenges and stuck to the original quote.

Common Questions Brookfield & Elm Grove Homeowners Have About Generators

Who installs and services home generators in Brookfield?
Austin installs and services standby generators across Brookfield and Elm Grove — trucks here daily — and because they’re a licensed electrical contractor too, the generator and the wiring come from one company, done right and to code. You get honest sizing rather than a push to the biggest unit, upfront pricing, non-commissioned advice, and work backed in writing.
How do I know what size generator I need?
It depends on what you want running in an outage — essentials like the furnace, fridge, and sump pump, or whole-house comfort. Larger Brookfield homes often want more capacity, but Austin checks your home’s real electrical load and recommends the right size rather than overselling what you’ll never use.
What’s involved in installing a standby generator?
Austin handles it end to end: sizing, placement, the automatic transfer switch, gas hookup coordination, and code-compliant electrical — then tests it so it actually starts when the grid drops. With the electrical in-house, you’re not refereeing between an electrician and a generator company.
What does a home generator cost in Brookfield?
Priced upfront and approved before any work — and since cost swings widely by size and complexity, that honest quote matters. Non-commissioned techs mean the recommendation fits your home, not a sales goal.
Is backup power worth it in Brookfield?
For many larger Brookfield homes, it’s worth a serious look — a finished lower level with a sump pump, plus heating and refrigeration, all stop when the power does, often during the storm that’s threatening the basement. Austin gives you a straight assessment of whether it pays off for your setup, with no pressure either way.
