We've had our Generac for about 4 years now. Over the past 10 days, we've had four power outages. We're the only ones our our street that have power. Can't recommend Platinum Electrical highly enough. Outstanding people to work with. A flawless and pleasurable experience. Our friends who have also purchased their Generac through Platinum, feel the same. We'll continue to refer to them with complete confidence.
From first contact to final installation It was a great pleasure doing business with Platinum Electrical Contractors. Expecting a page or two documenting make, model, options and price I was blown away to receive in the wee small hours of the next morning a comprehensive 43 page detailed Proposal featuring numerous photos of my very own property ... my Gas Meter, my Hydro Meter, my Breaker Panel and the exact location where my generator was to sit. I couldn't sign fast enough and am very happy that I did.
I have a new Generac installed from Platinum Electrical Contractors. The whole experience was amazing. Mark came to our house and explored the best spot for the generator to be installed, answering all our questions along the way. Because my house is semi-detached, the best spot was in the backyard, behind the deck The installation went smoothly, even though it was challenging to run 80 feet of cables and gas lines across my basement ceiling and under the deck. The team was very professional, and they cleaned up after they were done.
We were completely satisfied with the results and quality of the work done installing our Genarac system. The whole process from beginning to end was completely professional , starting with the quote right through to completion, all the people involved in this process were very pleasant and helpful. Could not have ask for a better outcome to this project.
I called for service and was responded to immediately by their online and telephone team. A repair technician was dispatched on the day I called. He not only solved my generator issue but was extremely efficient and polite. I am so extremely pleased by the service and care I receive from Platinum Electrical Contractors! I live in the Thornhill, Ontario region just for reference.
Two thumbs up to Platinum Electrical Contractors. We just had our install this last week and it went extremely well. Mark was very informative and knowledgeable right from the initial consult. He recommended an ideal location for our gene that we had not thought about. Thinks outside the box. The install went superb from the electricians to the gas pipe fitters. They even brought a broom and dustpan for cleaning up! They did a thorough walk through on the operation and set me up with the app which is very slick by the way. Thanks Platinum!
We are thrilled to have selected Platinum Electrical Contractors to install our Generac 26kw Generator. We researched the subject and received quotes from multiple dealers before zeroing down on Platinum Electrical Contractors. From the very first meeting Mark and his team were thorough and professional. Mark resolved many issues re which were were confused due to quotes we had received from other generator installers. I must point out that many other vendors were ready to install the generator in a location which would contravene the appropriate Ontario code. I must doff my hat to Chad (the gas technician) and Cory & Frank (the electrical team) for their professionalism and expertise. Mahtab is just excellent at account management!

Everything You Need to Know About Home Backup Power from Generator Experts
Noise depends on the model, the load and where the unit sits. Generac’s air-cooled home standby generators run their weekly self-test at a reduced engine speed for a few minutes. On our site visit we place the unit to meet Generac’s clearances and local bylaws, away from bedroom windows and your neighbours’ living spaces where the lot allows.
For most Ontario homes that lose power in ice storms, windstorms or summer outages, yes. A standby generator keeps the furnace, sump pump, well pump, fridge and freezer running, and it starts on its own even when nobody is home. It pays off most if you have a sump pump or well, work from home, rely on medical equipment, or live where rural outages last for days. Our guide Are backup home generators worth it? walks through the costs.
Yes, when they’re sized, installed and maintained properly. The automatic transfer switch isolates your home from the utility lines, so power never feeds back onto the grid, the main danger of plugging a portable generator into a house. We’re an ESA Authorized Contractor: every installation is done under an ESA permit, and the unit sits outdoors at Generac’s clearances so exhaust stays away from windows and doors.
Yes. Generac air-cooled home standby generators run on natural gas or liquid propane, set up at installation. Natural gas is the usual choice where there’s a gas line; propane suits rural homes and cottages, with a tank sized for how long you want to run. Output is a little lower on natural gas than on propane, and we account for that when we size your generator.
Yes. Home standby generators are built to sit outside and run through rain and snow in their weather-resistant enclosure. We set them on a raised generator pad to keep them above standing water and snow, and for Ontario winters a cold weather kit keeps the battery and engine ready to start.
The electrical connection has to be done by a licensed electrical contractor under an ESA permit, and the gas connection by a licensed gas fitter. We’re an ESA Authorized Contractor and an authorized Generac dealer, so sizing, the permit, the transfer switch, the wiring and your Generac warranty registration are handled by one team.
As long as it has fuel and gets its routine checks. On natural gas it runs from the utility supply with no refuelling; on propane, run time depends on your tank size and how much of the house it’s powering. In multi-day outages the engine needs oil checks on Generac’s schedule, which our maintenance plans cover. Read more in How long can backup generators run continuously?
A standby generator is wired permanently to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch. When utility power drops, the switch senses it, starts the generator and moves your circuits over within seconds. When the power comes back, it switches back and the generator cools down and shuts off. It runs on natural gas or propane and tests itself every week, so it’s ready when you need it. Watch this video to see it in action.
