Looking for generator installation in Niagara Falls? Platinum is a Generac dealer and licensed electrical contractor, and we install standby generators for homes, hotels, restaurants and other local businesses.
Niagara Falls has two sides for backup power. On one, it is an ordinary city of homes, from older streets near the historic downtown and Chippawa to newer subdivisions on the west side. On the other, it has one of Ontario's largest tourism economies, full of hotels, motels, restaurants and attractions, where an outage directly costs money.
Weather here comes off two Great Lakes, with heavy lake-effect snow on some winter days, freezing rain, and high winds across the peninsula.
Platinum installs and services Generac generators across Niagara Falls. See our Generac home generators and commercial generators, or request a free consultation.

Niagara Peninsula Energy is the electricity distributor in Niagara Falls, and natural gas may be available where Enbridge Gas service is available at the property. Platinum confirms the service and fuel details for your specific address during the consultation.
Older homes may have a smaller service or panel, and many have basements where a sump pump matters. Newer homes usually have 200A panels, central air and sometimes a pool, so they need a larger system or careful load management.
For hospitality businesses, we start by listing what must keep working: guest room heat or air conditioning, reservations and point-of-sale, refrigeration, kitchen ventilation, elevators and security. Few businesses need everything, and many do not need a whole-building system to stay open.
Many commercial buildings have three-phase power, which calls for a liquid-cooled Generac rather than a home air-cooled unit. Liquid-cooled units start at 25 kW and go up to 150 kW in our range, and they need more planning for the pad, fuel and delivery.
If your business is a tenant, your landlord will almost certainly have to approve the location and connections, so it is worth involving them early.
Generators for homes and businesses are planned differently. A home system is usually an air-cooled unit on single-phase power, sized around heat, a sump pump and the kitchen. A hospitality business may need a liquid-cooled generator on 3-phase power, with a design focused on the loads that keep guests safe and the doors open. We can look at both, and our licensed electricians handle the commercial electrical work as well.
At home, start with the sump pump, furnace, fridge and internet, and add central air in the summer if you want to. An older relative at home, or medical equipment, may move other circuits up the list.
For a business, think about food safety, guest safety and your ability to keep taking payments. Some loads can come back within seconds on the generator. Others, such as servers or sensitive controls, may need a small battery unit to bridge those seconds.
A standby generator transfers automatically, even at 3 a.m., and your staff do not need to do anything. Mobile Link can alert you if there is a problem.

Utility bills showing peak demand are a big help when sizing a commercial generator.
Residential customers can ask about financing or monthly rental.
Many homes on 200A service fall between an 18kW and a 22kW. Larger homes with a pool or more than one air conditioner may need a 26kW or 28kW, or a smaller unit with load management.
Businesses vary much more, from a 25kW for a small shop or office to 100kW or more for a larger property. We base this on a load study rather than the size of the building.
A liquid-cooled 80kW delivers 80 kW on natural gas but 75 kW on propane, so the fuel can affect the rating at larger sizes too.
Our guide on how to choose the right kW size explains how the numbers work, and we confirm them against your own panel.
