Generator Backup

Never Lose Power Again

Nova Scotia averages 3–5 major storms per year. Outages run 10–72 hours. A whole-home standby generator detects an outage and restores power in seconds — automatically, without you lifting a finger.

What We Cover

Standby Generators & Transfer Systems

Full installation from site assessment to commissioning — permitted, inspected, and integrated with your smart home if needed.

Whole-Home Standby Generator

Permanently installed outside your home, connected to gas or propane, and wired to your panel. Powers your entire home — HVAC, security, refrigeration, and smart home systems.

Automatic Transfer Switch

Detects outages instantly and switches your home to generator power in 10–30 seconds. No manual intervention — CEC Section 46 compliant installation every time.

Natural Gas & Propane

Connected to your existing gas supply or propane tank — no fuel cans, no refilling in a storm. Unlimited runtime on natural gas. Propane calculated for your typical outage length.

Generator Sizing (14–48 kW)

We perform a CEC Section 8 load calculation on your panel — not estimates. 14–16 kW for essential coverage, 20–24 kW for full home, 30–48 kW for luxury estates and high-demand properties.

Intelligent Load Shedding

Savant Power smart breakers prioritize critical circuits in real time. Security, networking, HVAC, and refrigeration stay on. EV charger, pool heater, and secondary loads shed automatically until capacity frees up.

OvrC Cloud Monitoring

Remote fault alerts, weekly self-test scheduling, and maintenance notifications sent to our team. We know your generator's health before the next storm — not after.

Smart Home Integration

Control4 "Generator Active" scene fires automatically — reduces non-critical loads, sends push notifications, and logs the event. Your home stays intelligent, secure, and connected during every outage.

Brands: Generac & Kohler

Generac Guardian and Protector series (14–48 kW) and Kohler residential generators with advanced voltage regulation. Both backed by manufacturer warranties and our local service support.

Permitting & NSPI Coordination

Electrical permit filed, inspection scheduled, and Nova Scotia Power notified. CEC 26th Edition Section 46 compliance. Setback requirements assessed before installation day — no surprises.

Why Standby?

Portable generators are fine for a campsite. They require manual start, extension cords, 8-hour fuel tanks, and someone to manage them in the dark during a storm. A standby generator is permanently installed, connected to your gas line, and starts itself — you might not even notice the outage happened.

We assess your panel, calculate your actual load, spec the right size, handle permitting, pour the pad, pull the gas, and commission every system — including smart home integration if you have it. One team, start to finish.

Generator + Smart Home?

For smart home clients, a generator means every system stays online — Control4, Araknis networking, Luma cameras, and Sonos audio all keep running. Savant Power manages load priority automatically. Same team handles both.
