Growing community, growing
power reliability problems.

Washington Township is one of Macomb County's fastest-growing communities. New subdivisions, bigger homes, more demand on a grid that's struggling to keep up. When severe weather hits, the math doesn't work — and your family pays the price.

The township straddles the line between suburban development and rural open space. Newer neighborhoods on the edges sit at the end of long power distribution lines — the most vulnerable points in the grid during storm events.

Washington Township's mix of above-ground power lines and mature tree growth along roads like Van Dyke, Mound, and Romeo Plank creates a familiar pattern: high winds or ice loads bring trees into lines, and entire subdivisions go dark.

DTE and Consumers Energy restoration priorities favor commercial corridors and high-density areas. Your Washington Township subdivision — especially if it's newer or on the edges of the township — is further down the list.

A whole-home standby generator switches on in seconds, automatically. No extension cords, no gas station runs for fuel, no watching the food in your fridge spoil while you wait for the repair truck.

Rapid residential growth
Washington Township's population has grown significantly in the last decade. Grid infrastructure expansion lags behind new housing development.
๐ŸŒณ
Tree-line corridor risk
Major roads through the township run through mature tree corridors with above-ground power lines. Every storm is a potential outage trigger.
๐Ÿ˜๏ธ
End-of-line subdivisions
Newer developments sit at the endpoints of distribution lines. When upstream infrastructure fails, these neighborhoods lose power first and get it back last.

Family home protection
Washington Township families have invested in their forever homes. Extended outages risk frozen pipes, flooded basements, and thousands in property damage.

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

Most electricians install a handful of generators a year between panel upgrades and ceiling fans. We install generators every single week. That focus means we know the DTE process in Washington Township inside and out, and we don't make the rookie mistakes that delay your project by months.

When your family's comfort and safety depends on getting this right, specialization matters.

"We moved to Washington Township from Shelby and lost power twice in our first year. After the second outage knocked us out for 2 days, we called Powerhouse. They had us up and running in 5 weeks. Should have done it day one."

"They call me every year to schedule the maintenance check. I've never had to remember it or chase them down. It just happens. In 6 years, my generator has never had a problem."

"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."
