Real customer reviews from homeowners who chose Platinum Electrical Contractors for generator installation, service, and backup power solution.

*Posted on Generac’s dealer platform and Platinum’s Google Business profile.

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.

Standby Power Benefits

Why Ontario Homeowners Choose
Generac Standby Generators

Unlike portable generators, a home standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected to a transfer switch — detecting outages automatically and starting without any action from you.

Automatic Backup Power

Generac standby generators turn on automatically when the power goes out — no extension cords, no manual starting, no going outside in a storm.

Natural Gas or Propane

Most residential standby generators run on natural gas or propane depending on what is available at your property — no fuel storage hassle.

Whole-Home or Essential Circuit

Your system can support essential circuits only or provide broader whole-home backup coverage, depending on your home and generator size.

Professional Monitoring

Many modern Generac models include connectivity features so you can monitor generator readiness and receive system status updates directly.

Built for Standby Use

A properly installed standby generator stays ready outside your home year-round and responds the moment utility power fails.

Peace of Mind Year-Round

From Ontario winter storms to summer grid interruptions, a home backup generator protects comfort, safety, and daily routines.

Professional Installation

From First Call to Full Backup Power

A standby generator is only reliable when it is sized, planned, placed, wired, and tested properly. Platinum keeps the process simple from start to finish — from choosing the right Generac generator to installing a system that is ready when the power goes out.

Generator sizing depends on your home’s electrical load, panel capacity, heating system, sump pump or well pump needs, air conditioning, appliances, home office equipment, desired backup coverage, and fuel source.

How much does a Generac home backup generator cost in Ontario?

The total cost depends on the generator size, transfer switch, fuel source, electrical requirements, distance from utilities, installation complexity, and any site-specific work needed. The best way to get accurate pricing is to request a free consultation and receive a quote based on your home.

Can a Generac generator power my whole house?

In many cases, yes. Whole-home backup depends on the generator size, your electrical panel, heating and cooling loads, appliances, pumps, and how much of the home you want backed up during an outage.

What size generator do I need?

The right size depends on your home’s electrical load and backup goals. Some homes only need selected essential circuits, while others need larger whole-home coverage. A proper assessment reviews your panel, furnace, A/C or heat pump, pumps, appliances, fuel source, and transfer switch requirements.

Are financing or rental options available?

Financing and rental options may be available depending on the generator, installation requirements, and customer eligibility. A consultation can help clarify the options available for your home and situation.

Do standby generators need maintenance?

Yes. Regular maintenance helps keep the generator ready for outages and supports long-term reliability. Maintenance may include inspection, oil and filter service, battery checks, testing, and an overall system review.

Can I install a standby generator myself?

A standby generator connects to your home’s electrical system and fuel source, so professional installation is strongly recommended. Proper installation helps protect safety, performance, code compliance, and long-term reliability.
