WHY A WHOLE-HOUSE GENERATOR?
EASTERN IOWA DOESN'T GET A WARNING.
Comfort, food safety, medical equipment, working from home — a standby generator means an outage is an inconvenience, not an emergency. It starts itself, whether you're home or three states away.
Homeowners who call us after a storm almost always say the same thing: they wish they hadn't waited.
LINN & JOHNSON COUNTY - AUGUST 2020
THE DERECHO
140 mph straight-line winds left much of Cedar Rapids without power for over a week. Homes with standby generators didn't notice. It's the single biggest reason Eastern Iowa homeowners call us — and it can happen again this season.
GENERATOR SIZING
WHAT SIZE DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED?
Most homes in Eastern Iowa fall into one of two categories, depending on square footage and what you need to keep running.
10-26 KW
AIR-COOLED
Most Homes
Covers essential circuits or the whole panel for an average single-family home. The most common install we do.
LIQUID-COOLED
32+ KW
Larger Homes
For bigger square footage, well pumps, and higher simultaneous electrical load. Quieter and built for continuous duty.
REAL EXAMPLE
A 2,400 sq ft home in Marion with a private well pump typically lands around an 18–22 kW air-cooled unit — enough to run the whole panel, well pump included.
THE HAWKEYE INSTALL
ONE CREW. ONE DAY. NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU TO COORDINATE.
Permits, gas-meter upgrades, and utility coordination — all handled in-house.
01
In-home assessment
We walk the property and size the unit to your panel and gas service.
03
Permits & gas upgrade
We coordinate the permit, gas-meter upgrade, and utility disconnect.
02
Quote on the spot
A real number before we leave — not a follow-up call next week.
04
One-day install
One electrician plus a helper — most installs are done same-day.
05
Startup & test
We simulate an outage on-site so you see it work before we leave.
