Portable Generators Aren’t the Answer
Dragging a portable generator out of the garage, running extension cords through windows, refueling it every few hours in the rain—that’s not backup power. That’s a temporary headache that doesn’t protect your home when you’re not there and leaves you scrambling every time the power fails.
Most homeowners think, “I’ll just buy a portable generator and be fine.”
The reality: Portable generators need manual setup, can’t power hardwired systems like sump pumps, require constant refueling, and produce carbon monoxide if run too close to your house. They don’t help when you’re at work and the power goes out. Whole-home generators start automatically, run on natural gas or propane, and power what matters without you lifting a finger.
Happy Electric installs automatic backup generators sized correctly for your home’s needs. When the power fails, your generator kicks on within seconds and keeps running until power returns.

Our Generator Installation Process
Happy Electric handles complete generator installations from sizing to final testing. Here’s how we install backup power systems for Spring Lake Park homes.
Step 1: Power Assessment & Generator Sizing
We calculate which circuits and systems you need to power during outages. Whole home? Just essentials? We size the generator correctly so it handles your load without overspending on capacity you don’t need.
Step 2: Site Planning & Permits
We identify the best location for your generator, plan fuel connections (natural gas or propane), and pull all necessary permits. Everything’s approved before installation starts.
Step 3: Fuel Line & Electrical Installation
We run gas lines or set up propane tanks, install the transfer switch that connects your generator to your home, and wire everything to code.
Step 4: Generator Installation & Connection
We set the generator on a proper pad, make all connections, and integrate it with your home’s electrical system through the transfer switch.
Step 5: Testing & Training
We test the generator under load, verify automatic startup works correctly, and show you basic operation and maintenance. You get documentation for warranty and future service.
Automatic. Reliable. Ready when you need it.

Your Questions, Answered HonestlyHomeowners have specific questions about backup generators. Here’s what Spring Lake Park residents ask about generator installation. How much does a whole-home generator cost installed? Complete installations run $8,000 to $15,000 depending on generator size, fuel type, and installation complexity. Smaller standby generators (10-14kW) powering essentials cost $8,000 to $11,000. Larger units (20-24kW) for whole-home backup run $12,000 to $15,000. Costs include the generator, transfer switch, installation labor, gas line work, concrete pad, permits, and startup. Happy Electric provides detailed quotes after assessing your home and power needs. What size generator do I need for my home? Depends on what you want to power. Running just essentials (refrigerator, sump pump, some lights, furnace) needs 10-14kW. Powering most of your home including AC requires 18-22kW. True whole-home backup needs 22-26kW. Happy Electric performs load calculations to determine the right size based on your actual electrical usage, not guesses. Natural gas or propane for my generator? Natural gas is convenient if you already have gas service—unlimited fuel, no refilling tanks. Propane works for homes without natural gas but requires tank refills. Natural gas generators cost slightly more upfront but eliminate propane delivery costs. Happy Electric recommends the best option based on your property and existing utilities. How long does generator installation take? Most residential generator installations take 2-3 days. Day one covers electrical work and transfer switch installation. Day two handles generator placement, gas connections, and final wiring. Day three includes testing, commissioning, and training. Weather, permit delays, or gas line complexity can extend timelines. Happy Electric provides accurate schedules during planning. Do generators require maintenance? Yes. Annual maintenance includes oil changes, filter replacements, battery checks, and load testing. Skipping maintenance voids warranties and causes failures when you need the generator most. Happy Electric offers annual maintenance programs that keep generators reliable and warranty-compliant. Will my generator run my whole house? Depends on the generator size. Smaller generators power essential circuits through a load-shedding transfer switch. Larger generators can run everything simultaneously. Happy Electric helps you decide whether essential-circuit backup or whole-home coverage makes sense for your budget and needs. Ready to stop worrying about power outages? Call Happy Electric and talk to a generator specialist who can assess your home and recommend the right backup power solution.
