Why Install a Generator in Cleveland?
Power outages happen more often than people think—especially here in Northeast Ohio. With aging infrastructure and unpredictable weather, losing power is more than an inconvenience. It can be a real risk to your comfort, safety, and property.
Here’s why more Cleveland homeowners are installing backup generators:
- Keep your home warm (or cool) during an outage
- Protect your fridge and freezer from food spoilage
- Stay connected to work, school, and emergency services
- Prevent flooding by keeping your sump pump running
- Avoid the hassle of portable generators and extension cords
If you’ve ever lost power during one of Cleveland’s infamous lake-effect snowstorms or a summer storm that knocked out the neighborhood grid, you already know the feeling. A whole-home generator takes that stress off your plate.
What’s Involved in Generator Installation?
Installing a whole-home generator isn’t a DIY job—it involves planning, permits, fuel connection, and integrating with your home’s electrical panel. At P.K. Wadsworth, our process is designed to be simple, safe, and tailored to your needs.
Here’s how it works:
- Home Power Assessment: We visit your home and determine how much backup power you need based on your lifestyle, appliances, and heating or cooling systems.
- System Selection: Based on your usage, we help you choose the right size and type of generator (natural gas or propane).
- Permits and Prep: We handle all local Cleveland permits and schedule inspections so everything is up to code.
- Professional Installation: Our licensed electricians and installers take care of the wiring, fuel hookups, concrete pad (if needed), and final setup.
- Testing & Start-Up: We test the system thoroughly and show you how it works—so you feel confident before we leave.
We also make sure the installation is clean, safe, and visually unobtrusive, with the generator placed in the best location for performance and accessibility.

How Much Power Do You Need?
Not every home needs a huge generator—and that’s totally okay. Some folks just want to make sure the basics are covered: the heat stays on, the fridge keeps running, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t go out.

We’ll talk it through with you and figure out what makes the most sense for your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.
We break down the options in plain English—no jargon, no upselling. Just honest advice about the pros and cons of different sizes, fuel sources, and brands. Our job is to help you get a system that fits your life—not one that’s too big, too small, or more than you need.
