Power outages are a fact of life during Georgia’s storm season. From heavy rains and high winds to lightning strikes, sudden loss of power can leave your home without lights, HVAC, or refrigeration when you need them most.
That’s why having a dependable backup power system isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
At 1 Best Electric, we help homeowners stay prepared and protected with professionally installed generator systems that keep your home powered through any outage.
Why Backup Power Matters During Georgia Storm Season
Storm-related outages can last from a few hours to several days, affecting more than just convenience. Food can spoil, security systems can fail, and families may be left without heat or air conditioning.
Installing a backup power system ensures you can continue daily life safely and comfortably — no matter what the forecast brings.
Types of Home Backup Power Systems
Whole-Home Standby Generators
Whole-home generators automatically power on when an outage occurs, keeping your lights, HVAC, and essential appliances running. These systems connect directly to your home’s electrical panel and operate on natural gas or propane, providing seamless power restoration within seconds.
They’re ideal for homeowners who want peace of mind year-round protection.
Portable Generators
Portable units are a cost-effective option for powering select appliances during an outage. While they require manual setup and fuel refilling, they can be a solid temporary solution for smaller homes or short-term emergencies.
Transfer Switch Installations
Adding a transfer switch allows safe, efficient connection between your generator and electrical system — preventing backfeeding and ensuring your generator only powers intended circuits. 1 Best Electric can help you determine the safest configuration for your home.
Benefits of Professional Generator Installation
Installing a backup system involves more than just placing a generator outside your home. Our licensed electricians handle every step, including:
- Load calculation and system sizing to meet your power needs
- Safe wiring and panel connections that meet Georgia electrical codes
- Gas line coordination with your propane or natural gas supplier
- Startup testing and inspection for reliable, ready-to-run performance
Professional installation ensures your generator operates safely and efficiently when storms strike.

Choosing the right generator depends on your home’s size, fuel source, and how much power you want to maintain during an outage. Our team will evaluate your electrical system and help you compare standby and portable models from trusted brands like Generac®, Briggs & Stratton, and Kohler.
