Protect your home or business 24/7 with the continuous backup power protection of a Generac standby generator. Let us help you select the right unit for your needs.
Start your project 
Réno-Dépôt will guide you throughout the entire project. Once you fill out a consultation request, a Réno-Dépôt authorized service provider will come to your home free of charge and will recommend a standby generator based on your needs. Before leaving, he will provide you with a quote for the work to be done.
Our Generac emergency generator installation services include the installation of a transfer switch (with integrated sub-panel) inside the home or garage and within 1 ft of the main electrical panel and within 30' of the generator, a rock or gravel base, grading necessary to place the generator, and installation of a composite mounting bracket. Remember that installation does not include any major structural or electrical modifications or gas meter upgrades. If any of these items are required, the work must be completed by the customer before the installation of the generator can take place to avoid installation delays and additional costs.
Once you approve the quote, the independent contractor will order the selected generator and contact you to confirm an installation date once the unit is received. Once the installation is complete, the contractor will test its operation, remove the debris and take the necessary time to explain all the details related to the warranty.
A permanent Generac backup generator can help protect your home; it runs on natural gas or liquid propane fuel and is installed outside just like a central air conditioning unit. Generators come in many different shapes and sizes, and with a variety of unique features. There are three main factors to consider when looking to buy a standby generator:
Runtime
The runtime of a generator lets you know how long it can supply power. You need to keep in mind that this is calculated based on average load, not on full load.
Wattage
The higher the generator wattage, the more it will be able to provide power. If you need to run a lot of power-hungry equipment all at the same time, you should definitely consider a high-wattage generator.
Coverage
The Essential circuit coverage option will provide power to the most important circuits, allowing you to prioritize what needs be covered in case of an outage.
The complete whole-house coverage will power all the circuits at home, ensuring that everything continues to work uninterrupted.
Managed whole-house coverage option utilizes a power management switch to help provide coverage for the entire home by managing the power needs of each individual appliance.
Backup emergency power
The most obvious benefit of a generator is to have backup power available in case of an emergency. If the power goes out for some reason, you'll be unaffected because the generator will kick in automatically. A generator is the best solution for those who can be greatly affected by a loss in power, such as the elderly, the disabled or families with many running appliances.
Home protection
When you lose power at home, there can be dangerous voltage fluctuations and surges once it returns. A generator works to prevent this kind of situation by powering certain appliances in or around the house and then turning off automatically when power returns. All of it, with a delay when it transfers back to keep your home safe.
Seamless transition of living
When the power goes out, you won't have to worry about all of your essentials like heating or cooling. They will carry on when the generator automatically starts. Even for non-essential needs, like charging smart appliances or even watch television and take a shower, a generator helps keep your way of living close to the same when you switch from one source of power to another.
Potential savings of thousands of dollars
Even if there is an upfront cost associated with buying and installing a generator, it can easily pay for itself over time. The costs of replacing spoiled food, paying to stay in a hotel, repairing the basement after a sump pump failure, fixing frozen pipes, can easily add up. A generator can prevent those costly charges. Check with your insurance company to see if you can even reduce your premiums by having a generator installed.
