Whole-House Generator Installation & Replacement Services in Louisville & Lexington, KY

Generator failure doesn’t have to be a hassle. With the right service provider, installing or replacing your home generator can be a headache-free experience. Allow Dauenhauer to be your whole-house generator installation provider.

Generators are important power-restoring tools for Kentucky homeowners. Because unexpected weather is the norm in Kentucky, you need to be able to keep the lights on when it occurs. 

If you have a pre-existing whole-home generator that needs repair, we can handle that as well. Our generator repair services promise to restore your generator to its original power.

Why It’s Worth Installing a Whole-House Generator

Even in the inner-city areas, erratic Kentucky weather can happen. You’ll be enjoying time with some family when suddenly the lights begin to flicker until they stop entirely.

The benefits of installing a whole-home generator go beyond backup lighting, although this is the benefit that draws many homeowners to install one.

Consider the additional benefits a whole-home generator can provide:

  • Restores Power Quickly 
  • You Can Keep Your Devices Running (Personal, Medical)
  • You Are Protected Against Power Surges Post Outage
  • You Stay Safe During an Emergency

What to Consider When Choosing a Standby Generator

Although this generator is primarily intended for emergencies rather than everyday use, it is still beneficial to familiarize yourself with its features. The type, frequency, and installation requirements of the model you choose will determine its usefulness.

If you need professional assistance choosing a standby generator, simply call Dauenhauer to speak with a technician about your needs. We’ll walk you through these important factors to consider:

  • Generator Type: While most Kentucky homeowners will opt for the standard whole-house generator, there are other types to choose from. Dauenhauer offers inverters or portable generators in addition to the standard whole-home model.
  • Generator Size: Some generators cover less space than others, so consider the amount of coverage you need from your generator. Whole-home or standby generators can power an entire property, while inverters, regardless of size, are best suited for powering appliances. 
  • Power Needed: Consult a local professional to determine the amount of power your home will require from a generator. You can generally trust that a standby generator will do the job, but it’s best to know exactly how much power you need, as it may be less than you expect.
