For many homeowners and businesses, backup standby generators offer the ultimate safety net. Like any piece of equipment, though, generators don’t last forever. Knowing when to replace your unit assures you’re never left shivering in the cold or scrambling for a portable during a blackout.

Call or message Mr. Electric with any questions or concerns you may have. Our team is always happy to help.
When it comes to selecting a generator installation, you begin by choosing between two types: standby and portable. Standby generators are hard?wired into your home’s electrical panel and fire up automatically when they detect a power loss. Portable generators, by contrast, sit on a wheeled frame and require manual start?up.
Standby units are ideal for extensive coverage. They can typically power heating systems, sump pumps, refrigerators, EV chargers - you name it. Portable generators, meanwhile, are perfect for partial backup or job?site power... but they can’t match the seamless protection of a standby unit.
Whether you choose this or that, all generators have a limited lifespan. With proper maintenance and careful usage, these units can last 10 to 15 years. If your generator installation is approaching this age range, then your inspections should be more scrutinizing.
Generators can last well over a dozen years, but that depends on the quality of installation, timeliness of maintenance and repairs, and the manner in which they were used. In any case, every generator will succumb to the inevitable. It's probably time to consider a generator replacement if:

PRINTMitch and Cesar from Mr. Electric were so wonderful to work with. We had a tricky project for them that required a lot of scaffolding. They were able to troubleshoot and figure out how to make it work in order to get the job done. They were both so kind, friendly, and professional. I will certainly be using Mr. Electric again for any future electrician needs!
