Why Generators Matter in Maine
Ice storms, nor'easters, and downed power lines aren't a question of if — they're a question of when. A Generac standby generator kicks on automatically within seconds, keeping your home safe while your neighbors are in the dark.
A Maine winter outage without heat can freeze pipes in hours. One burst pipe causes $10,000–$30,000 in water damage that insurance may not fully cover. A generator keeps your furnace or heat pump running automatically.
Your sump pump runs on electricity. No power means no pump — and spring thaw or heavy rain floods your basement. One storm can cause $10K+ in water damage that insurance may not fully cover.
CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, insulin refrigeration, home dialysis — if someone in your household depends on powered medical equipment, a power outage isn't an inconvenience. It's a health emergency.
A full freezer starts thawing after 24–48 hours without power. That's hundreds of dollars in meat, produce, and prepared meals. A generator keeps your fridge and freezer running like nothing happened.
If you work from home — or your kids do school remotely — losing internet means losing income. A generator keeps your router, modem, and devices powered so you don't miss a day of work or a deadline.
The automatic transfer switch detects the outage and starts the generator within seconds — no buttons to push, no extension cords to run. You might not even realize the power went out until you check the neighbors.

What We Handle
Whether you're installing your first generator, replacing an aging unit, or keeping your current system in peak condition — CDS handles every step. One licensed electrician, one crew, start to finish.
Full Generac standby generator installation — load calculation, concrete pad, automatic transfer switch, gas line coordination, electrical connections, permit, and inspection. One crew handles it all.
If your current generator is 10+ years old, undersized, or unreliable — we'll remove it, upgrade your transfer switch and panel connections to current code, and install a properly sized Generac replacement.
A generator that hasn't been serviced won't start when you need it most. We do annual maintenance, oil and filter changes, battery checks, and diagnostics so your system is ready before storm season — not after.
Call Dereck — he'll assess your situation, give you straight answers, and quote it on the spot.
