Why It Matters
Automatic Power, the Moment You Need It.
Storms, grid failures, and downed lines do not wait for a convenient time. A whole home standby generator senses the outage and restores power automatically within seconds, protecting your HVAC, refrigeration, sump pumps, security, and anything else your household depends on. No cords, no fuel cans, no scrambling in the dark.

- Licensed, insured, and code-compliant
How It Works
From Load Study to Automatic Backup.
01
Assess & Size
We review your home's electrical load and decide whether to back up the whole house or essential circuits, then size the generator to match.
02
Install & Connect
We set the automatic transfer switch, connect it to your panel, and wire everything to code, coordinating the fuel hookup.
03
Test & Hand Off
We test the automatic start under a simulated outage, walk you through it, and leave you with backup power that runs itself.

Who This Serves

Middle Tennessee sees its share of storms and outages. Whether you work from home, rely on medical equipment, want to protect a finished basement from a failed sump pump, or simply refuse to lose the fridge and the HVAC, a standby generator keeps life running.
Not sure how much you need to power? A load study gives us the numbers to size it right.
Never Lose Power Again
Standby Power, Installed Properly.
A whole home generator is a permanent electrical system that has to be sized, wired, and connected correctly to be safe and reliable. We handle the load study, the automatic transfer switch, and the code-compliant connection to your panel.
If your service needs an upgrade to support the system, we handle that too, with a clear estimate up front.

Whole Home Generators
Backup Power, Done Right.
A standby generator is only as good as its installation. We size the unit to your home with a real load calculation, then install and connect the automatic transfer switch so power restores itself the moment the grid fails.
Because it is a permanent, high-current system tied into your panel, it should be installed by licensed electricians who handle the transfer switch, permitting, and code compliance, not left to guesswork.

Questions
Generator FAQs
What does a whole home generator do?
A whole home standby generator restores power to your house automatically when the utility goes out. It is permanently installed outside and connects to your panel through an automatic transfer switch, so within seconds of an outage it starts and powers your home until utility service returns, with no cords or manual switching.
How is a standby generator different from a portable one?
A standby generator is permanently installed and runs automatically on natural gas or propane, powering your whole home or selected circuits without cords or refueling. A portable generator must be rolled out, fueled, and connected by hand each time. We install permanent standby systems with an automatic transfer switch.
Can you size a generator for my whole house?
Yes. We perform a load calculation on your home to size the generator correctly, whether you want to back up the entire house or just essential circuits such as HVAC, refrigeration, sump pumps, and medical equipment. Correct sizing keeps the system reliable and prevents overload.
Do you handle the transfer switch and permits?
Yes. Amprite handles the electrical side of the installation: the automatic transfer switch, the connection to your panel, load sizing, permitting, and code-compliant wiring. We coordinate the fuel connection so the complete system is installed safely and passes inspection.
