Rochester Hills Whole-Home Generator Installation
Rochester Hills is one of Oakland County's fastest-growing cities — and the grid hasn't kept pace. New subdivisions built at the end of long DTE feeder lines face some of the longest restoration times in the county. When the next storm hits, you shouldn't have to wait two days for DTE to work back to your neighborhood.

that hasn't kept up with the neighborhood's expansion.
Rochester Hills added more new residents than nearly any other Oakland County city over the past two decades. The infrastructure serving those new subdivisions was designed for a smaller load — and when demand spikes during storms, newer feeder lines at the edges of the grid are often the last to be restored.
Rochester Hills has grown faster than its infrastructure can support. New subdivisions built over the last 15-20 years sit at the far end of long DTE feeder lines that weren't designed for today's load. When a storm knocks out a substation or transmission line, DTE prioritizes commercial corridors and established neighborhoods first — leaving newer Rochester Hills subdivisions in the dark the longest.
The typical Rochester Hills home built since 2000 has a finished basement, a home office or two, a sump pump system, and appliances that can't tolerate extended outages. A 24-48 hour outage in a finished basement means water damage: sump pumps fail, HVAC condensate lines back up, and freezers thaw. A whole-home generator eliminates all of that risk — automatically, before you even know the grid went down.
A standby generator runs on natural gas, connects directly to your home's electrical panel, and starts in under 10 seconds. Whether you're working from home or traveling, your Rochester Hills home stays protected — no extension cords, no manual intervention, no hoping the power comes back before something breaks.

Here's what Rochester Hills homeowners have to say.
"They came back six months after the install just to check on it. No charge, no reason — just making sure everything was running right. That kind of service doesn't exist anymore. Except here."
"Lost power during the derecho in 2024. Every house on our street was dark for two days. Ours? Lights on, fridge running, sump pump working. Neighbors were knocking on our door asking who installed it."
"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."
The DTE headache?
