Your Generac Generator Experts

Power outages can strike at any moment, and they’re happening more frequently across the GTA.

A standby generator provides the ultimate peace of mind by delivering automatic backup power during outages. Unlike portable units, a standby generator is a permanently installed system that connects directly to your home’s electrical panel and fuel source, ensuring seamless power restoration within seconds of an outage.

Our Home Generator Services

Standby Generator Installation

Our comprehensive installation service begins with a free on-site assessment by one of our project managers. 

During this consultation, we evaluate your home’s power requirements to properly size the generator for your specific needs. Every home is different, and selecting the right capacity ensures your essential systems remain operational during an outage.

Once we’ve determined the ideal system for your property, we handle the complete installation process, including professional electrical connection and system testing. 

Our certified technicians ensure your generator integrates seamlessly with your home’s electrical system and fuel source, whether natural gas or propanel. We handle all local permitting, ensure proper exhaust clearance, sound attenuation, and code compliance (ESA, gas permits, municipal by-laws).

Generator Repairs

Even the most reliable generators require occasional maintenance and repairs. Our team of technicians diagnose and resolve common generator issues, including:

  • Difficulty starting or failure to start
  • Unusual noises or smells
  • Excessive smoke
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Warning lights or fault codes

We understand that a non-functioning generator defeats the purpose of having backup power, so we respond quickly to repair requests.

Why Backup Power Matters in Toronto, Ontario

Power outages are becoming increasingly common across the Greater Toronto Area. 

According to researchers, Toronto’s power grid is unprepared for extreme weather. Recent major outages have left thousands of GTA homes in the dark for hours or even days, making backup power more essential than ever for homeowners.

A standby generator from Dr HVAC & Plumbing keeps your family charged and comfortable during extended outages. Safety remains the primary concern; your generator maintains cooling in summer heat, heating during winter cold, lighting throughout your home, and power to security systems. 

For homes with well water, a generator is essential. Without power, your electric well pumps can’t deliver water to your taps..

Food safety also depends on consistent refrigeration. The City of Toronto advises that perishable food in your refrigerator should be discarded after four hours without power, which can result in significant waste during extended outages.

We proudly install and service Generac generators, a trusted brand built to withstand various weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The right generator for your home depends on several factors, including your home’s power requirements, preferred fuel source, and budget. During our free assessment, a Dr HVAC & Plumbing project manager evaluates your specific needs and recommends the optimal system for your property.

Portable generators are temporary units that must be manually fueled and started, positioned outside, and connected with extension cords during outages. Standby generators are permanently installed systems that automatically activate within seconds (often less than 10) of detecting a power loss, require no manual intervention, and connect directly to your home’s electrical panel.

Natural gas generators connect to your municipal gas line, providing a consistent fuel supply without storage concerns. Propane generators use stored fuel in tanks, making them ideal for areas without natural gas service. Both fuel types offer reliable operation, with the choice depending primarily on your property’s available fuel infrastructure.

Yes, standby generators require periodic maintenance to ensure reliable operation. Annual servicing typically includes oil and filter changes, battery checks, coolant level verification, and system testing. Regular maintenance prevents problems and extends your generator’s lifespan.

With proper maintenance, a quality standby generator like Generac typically lasts 15 to 30 years. Factors affecting longevity include maintenance frequency, local weather conditions, runtime hours, and installation quality. Regular professional servicing maximizes your investment.
