Why this service matters
Start with the circuits you need during an outage
A backup power plan should begin with priorities such as refrigeration, heating equipment, sump pumps, medical needs, lighting and communications.
Cruiser Electric can help match those priorities with a standby system or a safe portable-generator connection and transfer equipment.
- Clear project communication
- Work planned around the property
- Attention to code and safety

Common questions
Helpful answers before you call
Find answers to common questions about planning your electrical project.
Is Cruiser Electric tied to one generator manufacturer?
No. Recommendations are based on your project and available equipment.
Can a portable generator power selected home circuits?
A properly designed inlet and transfer arrangement can support selected compatible circuits without unsafe extension-cord routing or backfeeding.
How large should a generator be?
Sizing depends on the equipment and circuits you want to run. A walkthrough and load discussion should happen before equipment is selected.
