Keep the Lights (and Heat) On With Expert Generator Installation

Power outages in Michigan aren’t just inconvenient – they can be dangerous. If you’ve ever lost heat during a winter storm or had food spoil during a summer blackout, you know the risks.

A permanently installed gas generator keeps your home running no matter what’s happening on the grid. At Comfort Craftsman, we do reliable gas generator installation with safe, code-compliant gas line connections and clean workmanship you can count on.

You pick the model, we’ll make sure it runs safely and powers what matters most.

What Is a Home Standby Generator and Why Do You Need One?

A home standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and kicks in automatically when the power goes out. Unlike portable units, they run on your home’s natural gas line and require no refueling. In places like Livonia and surrounding Southeast Michigan areas, where storms and ice can knock out power for days, these systems are a game-changer.

They do more than add convenience; they protect your home and health. Let’s take a closer look at what makes home standby generator installation such a smart investment:

Robert (Bobby) Wilhelm, of Comfort Craftsman HVAC, Livonia, Michigan, put a huge smile on my face this week, just in time for the 4th of July. I had purchased two heat pumps of different brands almost a year ago, one of which was successfully installed, while the other unit was deemed to be faulty and returned to the vendor (Menards), which did a good job of providing a replacement by arrangement with the product distributor. (Though this was not as easy as it sounds, as it took several months to locate and contact the distributor, only to find out that they did not provide any product servicing in Michigan or any neighboring state). However, the new unit then sat in my garage for three or so months (while we swelted in the recent 90+ heat!), as the original installer played hide-and-seek with me and every other HVAC company that I called on said they only installed their own units, not to mention that no-one was anxious to pick up on a job that another party had started. Eventually, someone from my regular HVAC company (A. J. Danboise) recommended Robert, who kindly agreed to make an exception in my case. Robert did an excellent job of installing the new unit, finally bringing to an end a frustrating drama that had lasted literally a whole year!

Bobby Wilhelm is an AMAZABLE human being! Bobby IS THE Comfort Craftsman! I spoke with by phone and met with in person about five HVAC professionals. I chose Bobby, because of his exemplary combination of knowledge, communication skills, competency and kindness. He really cares about his craft. He exudes integrity and intelligences. I trust him. He often conducted work while no one was home, and we felt completely comfortable. The heating and cooling works perfectly. And the job was huge. He literally built our entire duct system in the attic and installed a brand new system of forced air heating and cooling, furnace and air conditioning. He has social and emotional intelligences most of us can only dream of. Emotionally and socially poised and skilled. A bit of an artist. And certainly an indoor climate control true scientist. Did I mention that he is excellent with communication? To me that is so important. We are truly grateful and highly recommend him!

Great communication, on-time, great work and very nice

Generator Installation FAQs

What kind of generator do I need for a typical Livonia home?

Most homes are well served by a 14–22kW standby generator for whole-home coverage. We’ll help match size to your power needs and fuel supply.

Can I use natural gas or propane?

Yes. We install gas connections for both fuel types, depending on what’s available on your property.

Do I need a permit?

In most cities, yes. We’ll handle the permit process and schedule inspections as needed.

Can I keep my portable generator instead?

Portable units work, but they require manual setup and don’t power your whole house. Standby systems kick on automatically and run longer.

Will I need an electrician too?

Yes, to install the transfer switch and handle wiring. We can coordinate with your electrician or recommend one we trust.
