Between hurricanes rolling up from the Gulf, spring thunderstorms, and the occasional ice event, this part of Louisiana sees more than its share of outages. When the power goes out, so does your air conditioning, your refrigerator, your well pump, and any medical equipment your family relies on. A standby generator removes the guesswork. It’s professionally installed, permanently wired into your home’s electrical system, and ready to respond the moment the utility fails — no cords, no gas cans, no waiting. 

Unlike a portable generator, a standby unit turns on automatically within seconds of a power outage. You don’t have to be home, and you don’t have to do anything. 

• Automatic operation. A transfer switch monitors your utility power around the clock and starts the generator the moment it senses an outage. 

• No fuel storage required. Standby generators run on natural gas or propane, so there’s no gas can to fill and no fuel to go stale sitting in a garage. 

• Whole-home or essential-circuit coverage. We size and install units to run your entire house or just the circuits you can’t live without — HVAC, refrigeration, sump pumps, and medical devices. 

• Quiet, low-maintenance operation. Modern standby units are built to run for years with minimal upkeep beyond routine service. 

• • Added home value. A properly installed standby generator is a feature buyers notice, especially in a region where outages are common. 

Every property is different, so we start with an in-home assessment before recommending equipment. 

1. In-home consultation. We evaluate your electrical panel, home size, and which circuits matter most to your family, then recommend the right generator size for your needs. 

1. Permitting and site planning. We handle the permit process and determine the best placement for your unit, accounting for local code setback requirements from windows, doors, and property lines. 

1. Professional installation. Our licensed electricians install the generator, automatic transfer switch, and gas or propane connection, then test the full system to confirm it starts and transfers power correctly. 

1. Final walkthrough. We show you how the system works, when it will run its automatic self-test, and what to expect during an outage. 

• You’ve lost food, run space heaters off a cord, or gone without AC during a recent outage. 

• Someone in your home depends on electricity for medical equipment. 

• You work from home and can’t afford downtime. 

• You have a well pump, sump pump, or septic system that needs continuous power. 

• Your neighborhood loses power more than once or twice a year. 

• You’re tired of dragging out a portable generator and running extension cords through the house. 

If any of this sounds familiar, a whole-home standby generator is worth a conversation. 

A standby generator that hasn’t been serviced is a gamble on the one day you actually need it. LenAire offers annual generator maintenance to keep your unit ready for storm season, including oil and filter changes, battery checks, and a full system test under load.
