Standby power for Adelaide homes and businesses
Generator Installation Adelaide
Licensed sparkies install standby generators so the circuits you care about stay on when the grid drops. Free advice, a free on-site visit, and one number to call.
When the lights go out — and solar sits idle
A Glenelg summer blackout at 38°C is not a minor inconvenience. Fridge, fans, baby monitors, and the solar you thought would save you can all go dark once the grid drops.
Portable camping sets and batteries that cannot island are not a plan. A standby generator, wired in by a licensed sparky, is.
We install — we do not push retail stock
We are electricians, not a shop floor. We size what you need, organise supply from a proper supplier, and wire it so it actually starts when the street goes quiet.
Home inverter, small commercial diesel, rural shed — same local crew from advice through Certificate of Compliance.
Why panels and batteries often fail in a blackout
Most rooftop solar shuts off in an outage to protect the network. Many batteries do the same unless set up for island mode.
On the visit we check what must stay on (fridge, Wi-Fi, lights), how long any battery lasts in winter, and how solar, storage and a generator can work together — plus surge protection where gear is sensitive.
Transfer switches, circuits and outdoor sockets
A generator only helps if it is connected safely — no back-feed into the street, no overloaded extension leads.
- Transfer switches (manual or automatic)
- Load-specific backup circuits
- External generator sockets (useful on rural sites)
- Weatherproof outdoor enclosures where needed
Dated or unsafe work gets brought up to scratch. You get a CoC where it applies.
Homes, sheds and workplaces
Same licensed team for houses, cafes, clinics and light industrial. If freezers, lighting, computers or EFTPOS cannot drop, we build a fallback. Already dark? Call — we do emergency electrical work as well as planned installs.
How it works
01 — Free advice — Tell us what is going on. We say what we would do and whether a site visit is needed.
02 — Free on-site visit — Switchboard check, what you want powered, clear recommendation and price options.
03 — Install and CoC — Code-compliant install, how-to brief, Certificate of Compliance where it applies.

Fit it before the next outage season
After a big blackout, stock and installers get scarce. Book the free visit while you still have a choice — Thebarton terrace or Strathalbyn acreage, same care.
