East Gwillimbury is changing quickly. Holland Landing, Sharon, Queensville and Mount Albert began as small villages, and new subdivisions now sit next to their older streets. Around them are farms, rural homes and the wetlands of the East Holland River, with the Highway 404 corridor running up through the town.
That gives generator installation in East Gwillimbury two distinct starting points. A brand-new home has plenty of panel capacity but limited space on the lot. An older property in the country may have a well, propane and a long overhead feed. As a Generac dealer and licensed electrical contractor, Platinum handles both, including the automatic transfer switch, the wiring, the permit and the ESA inspection.
Look through our Generac home generators, read how generator installation works, or request a free consultation.
Hydro One serves most of East Gwillimbury, and Newmarket-Tay Power serves an area along the Newmarket boundary, south of Green Lane. 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.
In a new subdivision, the panel and gas are usually easy to reach, and a 200A service is standard. The challenge is the side yard. With an air conditioner, a gas meter and a fence already in place, and windows and air intakes to stay clear of, there may be only one compliant location. If your house is still under a builder's warranty, check those terms before any work, and we can provide what the builder asks for.
Homes in the older parts of Holland Landing, Sharon and Mount Albert may have smaller services and more modest loads. A generator there can often be smaller, and the money may go further on a well-chosen list of circuits. We check the panel first, since its condition decides what kind of transfer switch can work.
Rural properties bring the usual questions about wells, septic pumps and propane. A submersible pump's surge can be a bigger factor than the furnace or fridge, and a long lane affects how the generator and any fuel lines reach their location. We look at the whole route rather than just the pad.
Low-lying land around the East Holland River is worth extra attention. Where the water table is high, a sump pump can run often, and it cannot stop just because the power has. We also make sure the generator sits above any standing water in spring.
In a newer house, the list often starts with the sump pump, then the furnace, then the fridge and freezer. Many families also need internet for work and school, and a few outlets for phones and laptops.
On a rural lot, put water at the top. If there are animals, add whatever they rely on. A storm that takes down a line through the trees can leave you waiting much longer than a neighbour in town.
A standby generator takes over on its own within seconds, and runs for as long as it has fuel. There is no cord to run through a window, and no portable engine to keep safely away from the house in a snowstorm.

Send us photos of your panel, the gas meter or propane tank, and the side and rear of the house. If your home is new, include the lot survey, since it shows setbacks and easements that may limit where the unit can go.
Let us know what you have planned as well. A finished basement, a pool or an EV charger can change the size, and it costs less to allow for them now than to rework the system later.
Ask about financing or monthly rental if you prefer to pay monthly.

Newer two-storey homes with central air and a 200A panel often compare an 18kW with a 22kW. Larger homes with two air conditioners or a basement suite may move to a 26kW or 28kW. Smaller older homes can often do well with a 14kW. See our guide on how to choose the right kW size.
Footprint rarely decides it. Generac's air-cooled units from 10 to 28 kW share the same 46.4 by 26.3 inch base, so the gas supply and the panel matter more than which size will fit. A 22kW uses up to 8.80 cubic metres of natural gas an hour at full load, and we check that against your meter.
To cover a full panel with a mid-size unit, we can add load management modules, which hold back the biggest loads until there is capacity for them.

It will if the sizing allows for the pump's start-up surge. We check its rating and what else may be starting at the same moment.
It is a good time to plan it. A basement adds load and makes the sump pump more important, and the wiring is easier to route before the walls are closed.
