Standby generators for Benton homes

Benton is on the growing edge of Bossier Parish, and most new construction ships without a generator — meaning summer storms and hurricane remnants take homes off SWEPCO for days at a time. A properly sized standby generator restores power within seconds and runs automatically until the utility is back.

We size based on your actual load, install the transfer switch and concrete pad, coordinate propane or natural gas with your fuel provider, pull the Bossier Parish permit, and complete start-up and load-bank testing before we leave.

Benton Generator FAQ

›Do you install Generac generators in Benton?

Yes — Generac is our most common install in Benton, followed by Kohler and Briggs & Stratton. We handle the pad, transfer switch, propane/gas coordination, and Bossier Parish permit.

›Will a standby generator run my whole Benton home?

Sized properly, yes — most Benton homes are well covered by a 22kW to 26kW air-cooled unit including central AC, well pump, refrigeration, and general lighting. Larger homes with multiple HVAC systems may need a 30kW or larger liquid-cooled unit.

›How noisy is a standby generator during a self-test?

Modern Generac and Kohler air-cooled units run around 62–67 dB at 23 feet — quieter than most window AC units. The weekly self-test only lasts 5 minutes and can be scheduled for a mid-day time when the noise doesn't matter.
