Whole-home backup power that turns on automatically when the grid goes down - sized, installed and serviced.
In South Louisiana, backup power isn't a luxury - it's peace of mind. CR Electric installs whole-home standby generators that detect an outage and restore power automatically within seconds, keeping your AC, refrigerator, medical equipment, and lights running through storms and grid failures.
We size the generator to your home, install the transfer switch and pad, coordinate the gas hookup, and handle the permitting. We also service and maintain existing generators so they're ready when you need them. We install trusted brands like Generac and Eaton.
For over 25 years, homeowners and businesses across the New Orleans metro and Northshore have trusted CR Electric for honest, code-compliant electrical work. We're licensed and insured, we pull the proper permits, and we give you up-front pricing before any work begins - with 24-hour emergency service from two locations.
It depends on what you want to power - essentials only, or the whole home including central AC. We perform a load calculation and recommend the right size so you're never under- or over-powered.
It continuously monitors your power. When the grid drops, the automatic transfer switch starts the generator and restores power to your home within seconds, then switches back and shuts down when utility power returns - no manual steps.
Yes. We provide maintenance, testing, and repair for existing standby generators so they're reliable when the next storm hits.
A typical residential standby generator install is completed in one to two days once the unit, permit, and gas hookup are arranged. We handle the coordination start to finish.
