Generator, Battery, and Hybrid Backup Systems From a Licensed Dealer
Authorized Briggs & Stratton distributor and a Gridiron Power Solutions dealer serving Norfolk, Brant, Oxford, and Haldimand counties. Generator, battery, and transfer switch installation, sized to what you actually run.
Reliable Home & Commercial Backup Power Systems
Southern Ontario gets storms that drop power for hours, sometimes days. Ice storms and fallen trees take out power lines every year. When it happens, a properly installed backup system switches your home or business over automatically, usually within seconds of the outage. No cords, no portable generator hauled out of the shed, no fridge full of spoiled food, and no missed hours.
SLE installs three kinds of backup power: standby generators, battery storage systems, and hybrid setups. For long outages, a generator with a fuel supply outlasts a battery. For short, frequent outages, a battery kicks in instantly with no fuel or noise. For a less grid-dependent setup, solar pairs with battery storage for extended independence. Many of our installs combine multiple solutions. Every install includes load calculation, transfer switch installation, permits, and inspection.

Standby Generator Systems
How Do Standby Generators Work?
A standby generator sits outside your building, wired into your electrical system through a transfer switch. It runs on natural gas or propane, monitors utility power constantly, and starts on its own within seconds of an outage. When the grid comes back, it switches your loads over and shuts down cleanly. No cords to drag out, no fuel to pour in the dark.
When The Grid Goes Down; Keep Power To Your Home
Home standby generators power your electrical panel during an outage. The system runs on natural gas or propane, starts automatically when it detects an outage, and shuts down cleanly when utility power returns.
Not every home needs a generator that powers the whole house. Sometimes a smaller unit is all you need, enough to keep the essentials running, like your furnace, fridge, sump pump, well pump, and outlets for your internet and any medical equipment you rely on. We'll take a look at your panel, your appliances, and how you actually use power day to day, so we can recommend something that covers what matters most without paying for more than you need.
What's included in a home Generator install
Keep Your Business Running With A Commercial-Grade Standby Generator
Commercial standby generators keep your operation running during utility outages. We install natural gas, propane, and diesel commercial systems for retail, industrial, agricultural, and multi-tenant properties, sized to your critical load or your full facility depending on the requirement.

Scheduled Service for your Home Or Business Generator
Standby generators need annual maintenance to be there when you need them. Oil and filter changes. Battery testing. Spark plug replacement on the schedule the manufacturer specifies. Load bank testing on commercial units. We offer annual maintenance plans for both residential and commercial generators, keeping your warranty valid and your unit ready.
What annual maintenance covers
Battery Power Storage Systems
How Does Battery Power Storage Work?
A battery system stores power while the grid is up, from your solar array or straight off the utility, then releases it the instant the power drops. There's no engine, no fuel, and no delay. Your essential loads never notice the outage. Paired with solar, the battery recharges through the day and carries you through the night.
Residential Battery Storage Systems
Battery backup runs silently, uses no fuel, and integrates cleanly with a solar array. We install standalone home battery systems for outage backup and hybrid solar-plus-battery setups for extended off-grid operation, sized to the circuits you actually want to keep alive.
Battery systems we install
Commercial Battery Storage Systems
Commercial battery systems do two jobs: seamless backup for critical loads, and peak-demand management to shave the charges that come from short spikes in usage. We install standalone commercial systems and solar-integrated storage, sized to the loads you can't afford to lose.
Commercial battery systems we install
For long outages, a generator with a fuel supply outlasts a battery. For short, frequent outages, a battery kicks in instantly with no fuel or noise. Many of our commercial installs combine both.
Common Questions About Power Backup Systems
Most residential installs complete in one to three days depending on gas line work, panel complexity, and permit timing. Commercial installations vary based on scope, fuel source, and transfer switch type.
Annually, at minimum. Commercial units may need semi-annual service depending on runtime. Skipping maintenance can void most manufacturer warranties.
Yes, in most cases. We assess your existing solar inverter and design a battery integration that works with it, or recommend an upgrade if the existing inverter isn't battery-compatible.
Not necessarily. For long outages, a generator with a fuel supply outlasts a battery. For short, frequent outages, a battery is instant and silent. Many installs combine both.
