Bradford West Gwillimbury sits at the south end of Simcoe County, where Highway 400 meets the Holland Marsh. The town of Bradford has grown quickly, with many newer subdivisions around an older core. Bond Head is a small community to the west, and much of the rest is farmland and rural homes, with the Marsh's market gardens to the east.
That means generator installation here can involve very different jobs. A new home may need a location in a narrow side yard, while a farm may need to keep water, cooling or other equipment going through an outage. As a Generac dealer and licensed electrical contractor, Platinum handles both, including the automatic transfer switch, the wiring, the permit and ESA inspection.

Alectra Utilities serves much of the Bradford community, and Hydro One serves many rural addresses. Natural gas may be available where Enbridge Gas service is available at the property. We confirm the service and fuel details for your address during the consultation.
Newer homes in Bradford usually have accessible 200A panels, finished or finishing basements and gas already on site. The usual question is location, because a generator has to stay clear of windows, doors, air intakes and the gas meter, and side yards may be narrow. If your home is under a builder's warranty, check that first.
Rural homes often have a well and sometimes a septic pump, and may use propane. A well pump's starting current frequently sets the generator size, and the tank has to be large enough for the run time you expect. A 22kW uses about 14 litres of propane an hour at full load.
Farms and market gardens have different stakes. Cooling, irrigation, ventilation and processing equipment may be involved, often with larger motors, and sometimes 3-phase power. Those jobs may call for a liquid-cooled generator, covered on our commercial generators page. We start by finding out which loads truly cannot stop.
Low-lying land around the Marsh and the Holland River also makes site drainage important. A generator should sit where water does not collect, and sump pumps deserve a place on the list in many homes.
In a subdivision home, the usual list is the sump pump, furnace, fridge and freezer, internet and lighting. In the country, add the well pump and anything your animals or business depends on.
For a farm, think about what spoils first and what stops work. That is how we separate critical loads from those that can wait, which often keeps the generator smaller and the fuel use lower.
A standby generator takes over automatically, even at night or when you are away, and you can see what it is doing through Mobile Link.

Real photos from a brick bungalow in Bradford. The generator sits on a gravel base in the corner of the yard, and the transfer switch is mounted beside the meter on the side wall.
Many newer Bradford homes on 200A service fall between an 14kW and a 22kW. Rural homes with a well and central air often sit toward the middle or upper end of that range. Larger farm loads need their own study. See our guide on how to choose the right kW size.
On a larger system, load management modules can stop big loads from running together and keep the generator a size smaller.
Propane gives you the full rating on most air-cooled models, but natural gas is simpler where it is available, with no tank to refill.
