Are You Prepared for a Power Outage?

When the power fails, you won't.

Good generator planning starts with a simple question: what actually needs to stay on? We size the system to the loads that matter, install approved transfer equipment so the generator can never backfeed the grid, and handle the permits and inspection.

Why Install a Backup Generator?

  • Stay Powered During Outages When the grid fails a standby generator automatically restores electricity to essential circuits, keeping refrigerators, furnaces and lights running.
  • Protect Operations Commercial properties risk lost revenue and damaged equipment without backup power. A standby system powered by natural gas or propane keeps lights, machinery and security systems on.
  • Comfort & Safety Generators maintain heating and cooling, run sump pumps and medical devices, and keep you connected during extended outages.
  • Security & Peace of Mind Keep alarm systems and smart‑home devices online, preventing food spoilage and frozen pipes.
  • Preparedness for Severe Events Useful for weather‑related disruptions, natural disasters, home offices, events and EV charging needs.
  • Adds Value Investing in a properly installed standby generator can increase property value and is attractive to potential buyers.

We install backup power throughout the Fraser Valley, with a local page for generator installation in Chilliwack and coverage across the Abbotsford, Mission, Langley, and Hope areas, including rural properties where outages hit hardest.

Installed LED lights in my garage. Also added some exterior plugs to the house. The lights were time-intensive and they finished it quickly and did the install PERFECTLY. These guys are the real deal, they are as good as it gets, and Justin treated me fairly even tho it was more work than he anticipated! I would recommend them any day

We had a great experience working with taurus electric. They were professional, reliable, and did excellent quality work in our home. They were considerate of our budget without compromising on the outcome, which we really appreciated. We have also worked with them on a professional contracting level, and because we trust them personally, we are confident they bring that same level of care, integrity, and value to our clients. I would absolutely trust their judgment for any future electrical work or jobs. :)

Great experience with this electrical team! They replaced our dining room light fixture, moved a few outlets, and completed a full home electrical inspection. The work was done quickly, professionally, and everything looks perfect. They were on time, respectful of our home, and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend their services!

Justin and his team provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. They were punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The crew maintained a very clean work environment and treated the space with respect. What impressed me most was the level of service, they went above and beyond, completing many little extras without hesitation. Justin always answered my calls, followed through on commitments, and showed up exactly when he said he would. He even made time for a smaller job, which has not been my experience with others in the past. I am beyond pleased with the results and the entire process. I highly recommend Justin and his team to anyone seeking quality workmanship and reliable service.

Backup Generator FAQs

Straight answers on cost, sizing, transfer switches, and permits, the questions Fraser Valley property owners ask us most about standby power.

It depends on generator size, fuel type, and site conditions. Essential-circuit setups cost meaningfully less than whole-home automatic systems. After an on-site assessment we provide an itemized quote covering the equipment, transfer switch, wiring, permits, and inspection.
