Your neighborhood really does
lose power more than most.

It's not bad luck. Bloomfield Hills has a perfect storm of aging infrastructure, mature tree canopy, and above-ground power lines that turn every major weather event into a multi-day outage. Here's what you're dealing with.

Oakland County's tree canopy is gorgeous — until ice loads bring 80-foot oaks crashing into power lines. DTE's own data shows Bloomfield Hills among the highest outage frequencies in their service area.

The math is simple: mature trees + above-ground lines + aging grid = you're going to lose power. Repeatedly. And when you do, it's not a two-hour inconvenience. It's 24 to 72 hours. Sometimes longer.

That means spoiled food ($400-800 per event), burst pipes in winter, sump pump failures during storms, and the growing realization that your home's most critical systems have zero backup.

A whole-home standby generator changes the equation. Power goes out, generator turns on — automatically, in under 10 seconds. No extension cords, no portable generators in the garage, no hoping the power comes back before the basement floods.

🌳
Mature tree canopy
Bloomfield Hills' 60-100 year old trees are the #1 cause of extended outages. Ice and wind events routinely bring limbs onto above-ground lines.
Aging DTE infrastructure
Much of the local grid infrastructure dates back decades. Upgrades are slow, and your neighborhood isn't high on DTE's priority list.
🏠
High-value homes at risk
Finished basements, wine cellars, medical equipment, home offices. The cost of an extended outage in Bloomfield Hills isn't just inconvenience — it's thousands of dollars.
❄️
Winter exposure
Lose heat for 48 hours in January and you're looking at frozen pipes, water damage, and a repair bill that dwarfs the cost of a generator.

We ONLY do generators.
Your electrician does them on the side.

There's a reason the best surgeons don't also do dentistry. Specialization matters. We've installed more whole-home generators in Oakland County than anyone. We don't do panel upgrades, ceiling fans, or outlet replacements. Just generators.

That focus means we've seen every install scenario, every DTE curveball, and every permit issue. We don't learn on your project — we already know.

"Gary handled the DTE approval, the permits, the inspection — all of it. I didn't have to make a single phone call. Generator was running before winter. These guys know exactly what they're doing."

"After the 2023 ice storm left us without power for 3 days, I called Powerhouse. They had a generator spec'd, DTE filed, and installation scheduled within the week. Absolute professionals."

"Generator came on during the ice storm. I didn't even notice the power went out — just heard the unit start and figured out the rest later. Worth every penny and then some."
