When Losing Power Isn’t an Option

Here are some scenarios where installing a generator makes a lot of sense:
- Frequent outages during storms or winter months
- Loss of heating, cooling, or refrigeration during blackouts
- Missed work or deadlines due to a lack of power
- Concerns about medical equipment or food spoilage during outages
- The risk of having to shut down your business

- Frozen pipes or spoiled food from extended outages
- Missed emergency alerts or loss of communication
- Health risks for those relying on medical equipment
- Costly damage to electronics when the power surges back on
- Equipment and tools that can’t be used for long periods of time

- Continuous comfort with working heat, AC, and appliances

Our Work in Action: Real Ohio Backup Power Success Stories
See how we help homeowners across Northeast Ohio stay protected, comfortable, and safe during unexpected power outages.
#The Beck Standard: Heavy-Duty Whole-Home Power Safeguard in Bolivar, OH
The Challenge
A homeowner in Bolivar required a robust, whole-home backup power solution. Due to the size of the property and its high-power draw appliances, including multiple central air conditioning units and a high-demand electric range, the client needed a system capable of managing massive electrical loads safely and efficiently during grid failures.
Our Analysis & Discovery
Supporting a high-demand property requires far more than just a large generator; it demands intelligent, active load-shedding technology. Our specialists calculated the home’s total peak power demand and designed a system featuring dual automatic transfer switches paired with smart modules to dynamically balance the electrical load.

The Professional Solution
Our team executed a comprehensive, heavy-duty utility installation:
- Power & Switching: We installed a massive 28kW Generac NexGen standby generator on a newly poured concrete pad and integrated two (2) 200 Amp Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS).
- Intelligent Load Management: We installed an HVAC Manager to balance A/C compressor cycles, alongside a Smart Module configured specifically for the high-draw electric range.
- Extreme Weather Protections: We equipped the engine with a Cold Weather Kit for reliable starting in freezing Ohio winter temperatures.
- Smart Monitoring: We set up and tested the WiFi Mobile Link system for ongoing, remote diagnostic tracking.
The Result
The estate is now fully self-sufficient and protected by a 7-year warranty. Thanks to our intelligent load management system, high-draw appliances are automatically balanced in real-time, preventing system overloads. With WiFi Mobile Link, they can monitor generator performance and receive system updates directly from their smartphone for added convenience and peace of mind.
#Beck-Powered Success: Seamless 14kW Generator Sizing & Upgrade in Dover, OH
The Challenge
A Dover homeowner was increasingly worried about severe Northeast Ohio winter storms and seasonal grid failures. Their home was equipped with an older, outdated 7kW Guardian generator. Over time, the family’s electrical load demands had grown, leaving the old 7kW system incapable of supporting their necessary household systems during a prolonged outage.
Our Analysis & Discovery
Upon evaluating the home’s electrical load profile, our certified generator technicians confirmed that the existing 7kW unit was severely undersized. To guarantee a seamless backup protection, the property required a total power capacity upgrade and updated fuel line connections to feed a more powerful engine.
The Professional Solution
Our factory-trained specialists successfully decommissioned and hauled away the legacy Guardian unit. In its place, we installed a modern, high-performance 14kW Generac standby generator. This upgrade involved preparing a secure mounting area, reconfiguring the natural gas supply lines for optimal fuel pressure, and wiring the new unit directly into the main distribution panel.
The Result
By doubling the home’s backup generator capacity, the family is now completely protected against regional grid failures. The new system automatically activates within seconds of an outage, keeping their heating, cooling, refrigeration, and well pumps fully operational.
#Beck Certified Install: 10kW Standby Swap & Smart Tech Alignment in Canton, OH
The Challenge
A Canton homeowner needed to replace an aging, unreliable standby generator before storm season arrived. The existing system required frequent repairs and was no longer starting reliably, leaving the home vulnerable to unexpected blackouts.
Our Analysis & Discovery
Our local generator technicians performed a detailed system diagnostic and determined the existing generator had reached the end of its operational lifespan. The installation required a complete replacement, including a brand-new starting battery, natural gas (NG) line reconfiguration, updated control wiring, and full system setup.

The Professional Solution
We carefully removed the old unit and positioned a brand-new 10kW Generac standby generator onto the existing pad. Our team completed the installation by connecting a high-performance battery, safely reconfiguring the natural gas connections, and running clean control wiring. To bring the system into the digital age, we fully configured WiFi Mobile Link™ remote monitoring.
The Result
The Canton homeowner now has a highly dependable, fully automated backup power system. With Mobile Link active, the homeowner can conveniently check their system’s health, run self-tests, and receive real-time status alerts from anywhere in the world.

Yes, standby generators are connected to a transfer switch that detects the outage and starts the generator automatically, usually within seconds.
Generator installation should always be done by a licensed technician. It involves electrical work, gas hookups, and local code requirements. We make sure it’s done safely and correctly.
In many cases, yes. Buyers see backup power as a valuable feature, especially in areas prone to outages. It adds convenience and security to the property.

Generac home standby generators should ideally operate between 57 and 67 decibels (dB), which is comparable to a normal conversation or a central air conditioning unit, not a loud lawnmower.
Yes, a properly sized standby generator can power your air conditioner along with other essential household systems. Because air conditioners require a high amount of power when starting, it’s important to choose a generator with enough capacity to handle the startup load as well as your other appliances.
