A home backup generator is a system designed to provide electricity during power outages. Unlike portable generators that require manual setup, standby generators are permanently installed and automatically activate when the main power goes out. They are connected to your home’s electrical panel and often run on natural gas or propane. Once power is restored, the generator shuts off automatically.
Generators maintain continuous power to critical systems like refrigeration, HVAC, medical equipment, lighting, and electronics, giving homeowners peace of mind during unexpected outages.
We provide a full suite of generator services to meet the needs of Lake Forest residents and businesses:
Our team installs permanent, automatic generators that power your entire home seamlessly. We assess your electrical load, recommend the right system size, and professionally integrate it with your home’s electrical panel.
For temporary or flexible backup needs, we install and configure portable generators with safe transfer switches. This ensures your home or business can run critical systems even when mobility is required.
Regular maintenance keeps your generator reliable when you need it most. Our technicians inspect, test, and service all components to prevent failure, extend lifespan, and optimize performance.
Older generators may struggle to meet modern electrical demands. We replace outdated systems with efficient, higher-capacity units and offer upgrades like smart monitoring, automatic transfer switches, and better fuel efficiency.
Uninterrupted Power During Outages: A backup generator ensures your home or business stays operational, protecting you from the inconvenience and risks associated with sudden power loss.
Protection for Critical Systems: Generators provide reliable power for medical devices, security systems, refrigeration, and other essential equipment.
Enhanced Home Value: Investing in a backup generator adds value to your property. Future buyers see it as a premium feature that guarantees safety and convenience.
Protection from Power Quality Issues: Generators help prevent damage caused by surges, brownouts, or unstable grid power, protecting sensitive electronics and appliances.
If your neighborhood experiences regular blackouts or brief power interruptions, a backup generator ensures that your home remains fully powered, keeping appliances, lighting, and essential systems running without disruption.
A generator allows your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to continue operating during outages, maintaining comfort and safety for your family regardless of weather conditions.
For homes that rely on medical devices such as oxygen machines, ventilators, or other life-support systems, a generator provides a reliable, uninterrupted power source to keep these critical devices running at all times.
Homes located in less-connected or rural areas may face inconsistent grid service. A standby generator provides dependable power, ensuring that daily life continues smoothly even when the utility supply is unreliable.
If you work from home, maintaining power is essential for computers, internet connectivity, and office equipment. A backup generator helps prevent interruptions that could affect productivity or deadlines.
Generators can keep well pumps, water heaters, and other water-dependent systems operating during outages, preventing household disruption and ensuring access to clean water when you need it most.
Permanently installed systems that automatically activate during power outages, providing seamless protection for your entire home.

A typical whole-home generator installation usually takes 1–2 days, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the electrical system. This includes site preparation, connection to your electrical panel, installation of a transfer switch, and full system testing. Our team ensures every component is installed safely and meets local code requirements, so your system works reliably from day one.
The right size generator depends on your home’s electrical load, including HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, lighting, and other critical circuits. During a consultation, we perform a load calculation to determine the exact capacity you need, ensuring your generator can handle essential systems without oversizing or wasting fuel. This guarantees efficiency and reliable performance during outages.
Most generator installations in Lake Forest require city permits and inspections to ensure compliance with safety and building codes. At All Thingz Electric, we handle the permitting process on your behalf, coordinating with the local authorities so that your installation is fully approved and inspection-ready without any stress on your part.
Fuel usage depends on the generator size, the type of fuel (natural gas or propane), and the electrical load being powered. For example, running a full-sized home generator continuously at full load will use more fuel than powering only critical circuits. Our team can provide a detailed estimate based on your home’s needs, helping you plan for outages and fuel requirements efficiently.
Modern standby generators are engineered for quiet operation. Most operate at 60–70 decibels from a distance, which is similar to the ambient noise of a normal conversation or a dishwasher. With proper placement and sound-reducing enclosures, a generator can run almost silently while keeping your home powered during an outage.
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your generator ready for emergencies. We recommend annual inspections and testing, which include checking fuel lines, oil, battery, transfer switch, and other critical components. Proper maintenance extends the life of your system, ensures reliable performance, and prevents unexpected failures during outages.
Yes. Whole-home standby generators are designed to supply power to every circuit in your home if desired. Alternatively, you can prioritize critical loads, such as HVAC, refrigeration, medical equipment, and lighting, to optimize fuel efficiency and system performance. Our technicians will help you determine the best configuration based on your home’s size, electrical needs, and backup priorities.
