Backup generator installation by Noticed On Site Electric

Never Lose Power Again

Protect Your Family & Property from Outages

Ontario storms don't warn you. A grid failure can mean spoiled food, frozen pipes, failed sump pumps, or worse — especially for homes with medical equipment or those working remotely. A professionally installed standby generator eliminates that risk entirely.

When the grid fails, your standby generator detects the outage and kicks in automatically within seconds — restoring power to your essential circuits or your entire home without you lifting a finger. We handle the full electrical scope: load calculation, transfer switch installation, panel coordination, and ESA permitting.

Scope of Work

What We Offer

We handle the complete electrical side of your generator installation — safely, cleanly, and to full ESA code.

Site Assessment & Load Calculation

We evaluate your electrical load and determine the right generator size to power your essential circuits or whole home.

Automatic Transfer Switch Installation

A properly sized ATS is installed and wired to automatically detect outages and switch your home to generator power within seconds.

Electrical Panel Integration

We connect the generator and transfer switch to your existing panel, ensuring safe and code-compliant integration with your home's electrical system.

Critical Circuit Selection

We identify and prioritize your essential circuits — heating, refrigeration, sump pump, medical equipment — for partial-load generator setups.

Surge Protection Installation

Whole-home surge protection installed to safeguard your appliances and electronics when power is restored after an outage.

ESA Permit & Inspection

We pull all required electrical permits and coordinate the full ESA inspection — your installation is 100% code-compliant and insurable.

How It Works

Power You Can Count On.
Installed the Right Way.

From your first call to the final test run — here's exactly what to expect.

Free Assessment & Sizing

We visit your property, assess your electrical load, and recommend the right generator size — partial-load essential circuits or full-home standby power.

Permit & Scheduling

We pull the ESA permit and coordinate your installation date. If a gas contractor is needed for the fuel supply, we help coordinate that too.

Transfer Switch & Panel Work

The automatic transfer switch and all electrical connections are installed and integrated with your panel — cleanly and safely.

Testing & ESA Sign-Off

We test the full system — simulating an outage to confirm automatic switchover — then coordinate the ESA inspection for final sign-off.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a standby and a portable generator?

A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, connected to your electrical panel via an automatic transfer switch, and runs on natural gas or propane. It activates automatically when the grid fails — no manual setup needed. A portable generator requires manual operation, uses gasoline, and poses carbon monoxide risks if used improperly. For reliable whole-home backup, a standby is the right choice.

How much does a generator installation cost?

Electrical installation costs for a standby generator typically range from $2,500–$6,000 depending on panel work required, transfer switch size, and the scope of circuit connections. This covers the electrical labour, transfer switch, and ESA permitting — the generator unit itself is priced separately. We provide a clear, itemized quote after your free assessment.

Do I need to upgrade my panel before installing a generator?

Not always — it depends on your panel's current capacity and age. We assess this during your free evaluation. If an upgrade is needed, we handle it as part of the same job, saving you time and coordination headaches.

Are permits required for generator installation?

Yes — an ESA electrical permit is required for any standby generator installation in Ontario. We pull all permits and handle the inspection process on your behalf. A permitted installation is also required for your home insurance to cover generator-related claims.

How long does the installation take?

The electrical work is typically completed in one day. If panel upgrades or additional circuit work is required, it may extend to two days. We confirm the full timeline before starting so there are no surprises.
