Oakland and Macomb counties average 5–8 significant power outages per year. Ice storms, wind events, and DTE transformer failures leave homes dark for hours — sometimes days.
A standby generator detects a grid outage within seconds and starts automatically — no manual intervention, no trips to the garage. You may not even notice the power went out.
Unlike portable generators that power a few outlets, a standby generator keeps your HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, lights, and medical equipment running — everything stays on.
A whole-home generator adds $5,000–$10,000 to your home's resale value and gives buyers confidence. In SE Michigan's competitive market, it's a standout feature.
Michigan basements flood when sump pumps fail during storms — the exact moment the power is most likely to be out. A generator keeps your basement dry when you need it most.
Oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, refrigerated medications — power loss is a medical emergency for many households. A generator is peace of mind you can't put a price on.
Remote workers lose income during outages. A generator keeps your internet, computers, and phone charging — your home office runs like nothing happened.

Customer Reviews
"The Powerhouse team installed our Generac in 2 days. Professional start to finish — they handled the permits, DTE coordination, everything. We haven't worried about power outages since."
"Our generator kicked on instantly during the February ice storm. Neighbors were without power for three days — we didn't lose a single degree. Best money we've ever spent on this house."
"Called on a Monday, had a quote by Tuesday, generator running by Friday. I've never seen a contractor move this fast and still do it right. Highly recommend to anyone in Oakland County."
