Generator Installation in Farmington Hills, MI

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.

Generator Installation Options and Related Services

Every home has different power needs, and we take the time to help you find the right fit before we install anything.

Standby and Whole-Home Generator Options

We install a range of standby generators, including natural gas, propane, and diesel options, to match your home’s fuel setup and power needs, including Generac standby generators, one of the most established names in home backup power. Our technicians can help you determine the right size generator to run the parts of your home that matter most during an outage, and will confirm your electrical panel can support the new connection before installation day.

Generator Repair and Maintenance

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost to install a whole house generator?

Whole-home generator installation typically runs from about $3,000 to $15,000 depending on the generator’s size, your home’s electrical setup, and any panel or gas line work needed. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing after assessing your home, so you know your exact cost before we begin.

Is a whole house generator a tax write-off?

For most homeowners, a standby generator is not tax deductible, though it may qualify as a medical expense deduction in specific cases involving a documented health condition. We are not tax professionals, so we always recommend checking with an accountant about your specific situation.

Do you install Generac generators?

Yes, we install Generac standby generators as part of our generator installation services in Farmington Hills. Our technicians can also help with generators from other manufacturers depending on your home’s needs.
