From the booming tech and innovation scene downtown to the tree-lined neighborhoods just outside the city core, the Bull City is a place where things are always moving forward - but progress depends on the basics. Losing power when a thunderstorm rolls through the Triangle will quickly remind us of that. With so much depending on a stable current of electricity, a backup power source is more than a luxury - it's a necessity. If you want an insurance policy on your power supply at home or your business, then consider a generator installation. Don't leave the installation to just anybody, however. To hire a trained and certified generator installation in Durham, just call the time-tested professionals at Mr. Electric. We have live representatives on standby today.
Power outages rarely come with warning signs. One moment you’re scrolling through your phone or brewing coffee; the next, everything goes dark. For homeowners, that means no Wi-Fi, no fridge, no air conditioning. For business owners, it means customer service halts, equipment shuts down, and security systems might even go offline. Now imagine the same scenario, but your generator kicks on within seconds to keep your life - or business - running with barely a hiccup. That’s the peace of mind that a standby generators provide.

Let’s be clear: a standby generator isn’t the kind you store in the garage and drag out in a panic. No, this is a permanent fixture that connects directly to your electrical system and a fuel source. It quietly monitors your power supply and automatically fires up when there’s an outage. No cords. No manual startup. Just instant energy.
A standby generator is no lightweight, either. It offers enough power to keep your HVAC, refrigeration, lights, internet, and medical equipment running. It’s not just for the big homes in Hope Valley, either. Any residence or small business can benefit from this kind of backup.
Not ready - or don't need - a full standby system? Portable generators might be the better fit. These units are more affordable and offer versatility. They can be moved to where you need them, when you need them.
With that said, portable units are for those who don’t mind manually setting things up when the power goes out. They're not installation-free, either. In fact, connecting one safely to your home or business requires a transfer switch and proper load management - two areas where it’s best to consult a licensed electrician.
If you already own a generator but it’s pushing ten or more years - and you're worried it won't work when you need it most - then it might be time for a generator replacement.
It's not just about the age of the unit, either. If your household has grown, if you’ve upgraded your appliances, or if your business has expanded, your current generator might be underpowered. A replacement gives you better reliability, cleaner energy output, and modern features like remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Durham is full of DIYers and self-starters, but some jobs really do call for a professional touch... especially when electricity, fuel systems, and safety regulations are involved.
A certified electrician understands local codes, permitting requirements, and the real power needs of both residential and commercial properties. Whether it’s a new generator installation, a system replacement, or even a consult to figure out what type of generator fits your situation, the pros at Mr. Electric are always ready to help.
Our generator installation in Durham won't cost you an arm and a leg, either. In fact, we're so confident in our prices that we proudly provide price quotes UPFRONT.
