Generator Installation in Farmington Hills, MI
Table of Contents
Michigan storms take the power out fast, and Farmington Hills is no exception, especially in neighborhoods with mature trees and overhead lines that come down in high wind or heavy snow. When the power goes out, your furnace, sump pump, refrigerator, and home office all go quiet at the same time, sometimes for hours. A few hours without power is an inconvenience, but a few days can mean spoiled food, a flooded basement, or a much colder home than you bargained for.
Standby Generator Installation You Can Count On
AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has served Farmington Hills and the surrounding Metro Detroit community for 100 years. Our team of 20 trained technicians installs standby generators that automatically detect a power failure and switch on, so your home’s essentials keep running without you having to lift a finger. After this first mention, we will refer to ourselves as AJ Danboise for the rest of this page.
We arrive in fully stocked trucks, in uniform, and wearing shoe covers, so we can handle most generator installations and repairs in a single visit.
Signs Your Home Needs a Backup Generator
Not sure if a standby generator is worth it? Consider how a power outage would actually affect your household.
- You rely on a sump pump: A power outage during a storm is exactly when your sump pump is needed most, and that is exactly when it can fail without backup power.
- You work from home: Losing internet, lighting, and your computer setup for hours or days can bring your workday to a halt.
- You have a finished basement: Extended outages increase the risk of a failed sump pump leading to water damage.
- You rely on medical equipment at home: Some medical devices need a dependable power source, making backup power a safety issue rather than a convenience.
- You have lost food to a past outage: A generator keeps your refrigerator and freezer running so a multi-day outage does not mean an empty fridge.
If any of this sounds like your household, a standby generator can offer real peace of mind the next time the power goes out.

Beyond installation, we also handle generator repair and maintenance to help keep your standby generator ready when you need it. We recommend annual maintenance visits to check fuel connections, batteries, and the automatic transfer switch so your generator performs reliably when a storm knocks out the power.
