Why Generators Matter in Maine

Why Maine Homeowners Install Standby Generators

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.

Frozen Pipes & Heat Loss

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.

Prevents: Frozen pipes, burst pipes, water damage

Basement Flooding

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.

Prevents: Sump pump failure, water damage, mold

Medical Equipment

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.

Protects: CPAP, oxygen, insulin, dialysis equipment

Food & Refrigeration

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.

Saves: $300–$800+ in food per extended outage

Internet & Remote Work

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.

Keeps running: WiFi, computers, phones, security cameras

Fully Automatic — No Action Required

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.

Automatic: Detects outage, restores power in ~10 seconds

Don't wait for the next storm to find out you needed one.

What We Handle

Complete Standby Generator Services

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.

New Installation

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.

  • Home load calculation & Generac sizing
  • Concrete pad & unit placement
  • Automatic transfer switch wiring
  • Natural gas or LP propane connection
  • Permit pulled & inspection passed
Timeline: Most installs completed in one day

Generator Replacement

2

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.

  • Safe removal & disposal of old unit
  • Transfer switch upgrade to current NEC
  • Resized to match current home loads
  • New pad if existing is cracked or undersized
  • Full system test & inspection
Common: Units 10+ years old or undersized

Annual Maintenance

3

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.

  • Annual system inspection & load test
  • Oil change, air filter, spark plugs
  • Battery test & replacement if needed
  • Transfer switch function verification
  • Fault code diagnosis & troubleshooting
Recommended: Annual service before storm season
