Halton Hills is made up of the two main communities of Georgetown and Acton, a set of smaller villages such as Glen Williams, Limehouse and Norval, and plenty of countryside along the Credit River and the Niagara Escarpment. Homes range from century-old houses in the village cores to newer subdivisions in south Georgetown, with rural lots on wells in between.
That mix makes generator installation here a case-by-case job. Platinum is a Generac dealer and licensed electrical contractor, so we can look at the house, the service and the fuel together. We handle the generator, the automatic transfer switch, the electrical work, the permit and ESA inspection, and the maintenance afterwards.
Start with our Generac home generators and how generator installation works, or request a free consultation.
Halton Hills Hydro is the local electricity distributor, and 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.
Older homes in Georgetown, Acton and the villages may have small services, or panels in cramped basements. Before we design around them, we check their condition and capacity. In some cases it makes sense to back up a list of essential circuits with a smaller generator rather than upgrade everything at once.
Rural properties usually bring a well, sometimes a septic pump, and possibly no natural gas. A well pump has a high starting current, and that is often what sets the generator size. On propane, a 22kW uses about 9.3 litres an hour at half load and 14 at full load, so we help work out what your tank can support.
Valley and Escarpment properties have their own quirks. Slopes affect where a pad can go and how water drains around it, and a long driveway may affect delivery. The generator should sit somewhere that stays dry and reachable in winter, even if that is not the first spot you had in mind.
Newer homes in south Georgetown tend to have accessible 200A panels and natural gas, with less room on the side of the house. There, the clearance rules around windows, doors, air intakes and the gas meter usually decide the location.
Tree-lined streets and rural lines make wind and ice storms the most common reasons for outages here. If you are on a well, water comes first, along with heat and a sump pump. Then come the fridge and freezer, internet, lights and a few outlets.
For an older home with a boiler, the electrical load may be small, but it is critical. A boiler will not circulate heat without power, and in a cold snap, this can put your pipes at risk.
A standby generator starts by itself within seconds, and it does not need you to be home. Mobile Link shows you its status and maintenance alerts on your phone.

If you are in a designated heritage area, it is worth asking the town about anything visible from the street. A generator can often be placed out of view at the side or rear.
Ask about financing or monthly rental if you are combining a generator with an electrical upgrade.
A modest older home with a boiler and no central air may need only a 10kW or 14kW. Newer Georgetown homes with central air often fall between an 18kW and a 22kW. Rural homes with a well, a workshop or a larger kitchen may need a 22kW or 26kW. Our guide on how to choose the right kW size explains why.
If you have only a 100A service, you may not need a large generator at all. We size for your actual load, and may suggest a 100A service-rated switch or a 16-circuit switch.
For loads that do not need to run together, load management modules can keep the generator a size smaller.
