Whole-Home / Standby Generator Installation

During the summer and winter months especially, power outages due to extreme weather have become more and more frequent in the Greater Chicago area. Don’t get caught without power! If you’re looking to buy a new whole-home or standby generator, contact us today to get a free estimate. Penco Electric & Generators is a Certified Generac Service Dealer and we install and maintain Generac Products. We can also help you install other major brands as well.

How Does Home Generator Installation Work?

When you call or email us for a quote, our trained technicians will set a time that works with your schedule to come out and evaluate your home and the needs you have for power in the event of an electric emergency or severe weather.

Once we have developed a customized plan for your home and you give us your approval, we will obtain all of the required permits. On the day of your home generator installation, we will come out to your home and install your generator with minimal interruption to your daily activities.

After your new generator is installed our technician will perform a series of tests to confirm your generator is functioning properly. We will also make sure to answer any questions you may have after it has been installed and make sure you feel comfortable with your new generator before we leave.

Serving the residents of Greater Chicago (City of Chicago – northside, southside, downtown, west loop – North Shore, Northwest Suburbs, Western Suburbs, Chicago Southland, and Far North Suburbs), we’ll come to you and make sure that you’re not caught flat-footed when power outages occur.

“We recently had a Generac system installed by Penco Electric. Their team of professionals couldn’t do enough to ensure that we knew the process from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of installers. They explained and did what needed to be done and made sure that everything done was up to code for future local inspection. After completion, step by step instructions were given as what to expect from the generator. Great experience and highly recommended company.” – Joan D.

The 3 man crew that came in was very helpful and accommodating. The project went smoothly. We would recommend this company.

I had a small issue with my generator due to the extreme cold weather, and they were able to solve the problem right away.  I'm so happy I choose these guys for my generator and service work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I had never heard of your company in the past.  However, all of the employees were courteous and completed my Generac standby generator in one day.  During the installation, my hot water tank's pilot went out.  The water stayed hot for one entire day.  The second day we noticed that the water was warm not hot.  I called the company and they came out on a Saturday evening to take care of the issue.  I was impressed with their service all around.

Patrick was extremely helpful in walking through the project, and letting us know step by step what needed to be done beforehand, so that we weren’t surprised later on. Our lights look great, and we would definitely use Penco again.
