Backup Power You Can Count On
Generac Home Generator Sales & Installation in Brantford, Ontario

As a trusted licensed electrical contractor in Brantford, we take care of everything—from product selection to professional installation and maintenance.
Why Choose a Standby Generator?
Automatic Backup Power
Never worry about your lights, fridge, sump pump, or medical devices again. Your Generac generator turns on in seconds—automatically.

How much does a backup generator cost in Brantford?
The cost of a generator depends on size, brand, and installation complexity. Most whole-home generator systems in Brantford range from $7,000 to $14,000, including installation. We offer free quotes to help you find the best fit for your home and budget.
Do I need a permit to install a generator in Ontario?
Yes. In Ontario, installing a standby generator typically requires both an electrical permit and compliance with ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) regulations. McKenzie Electric handles all permitting and inspections to ensure your system meets local codes.
How long does installation take?
Most generator installations take one to two days, depending on site conditions and setup requirements. We'll also schedule inspections as required and coordinate with the local utility provider if necessary.
What size generator do I need for my home?
That depends on what you want to power. A 14–22 kW generator is typically enough for most Brantford homes, providing backup for essentials like heating, lights, sump pumps, refrigerators, and internet. We’ll assess your power needs during your free consultation.
Do you offer generator maintenance services in Brantford, Brant County & surrounding areas?
Yes. We offer routine maintenance and annual service packages to keep your generator running reliably. Regular oil changes, system checks, and software updates help ensure your generator is ready when you need it.
What happens if the power goes out?
Your standby generator will automatically turn on within seconds of a power outage. It senses the loss of power and transfers your home to generator power until utility service is restored.
Can I finance my generator purchase and installation?
Yes! While McKenzie Electric offer financing directly, we do have financing options through trusted partners, making it easier to get backup power installed without large upfront costs. Ask us for a referral to a trusted partner.
