Commercial Generator Installation & Emergency Power Systems
Keep your business running when the grid goes down. Charged Electric sizes, installs and wires standby generators and transfer switches for businesses across Kitchener-Waterloo and Southwestern Ontario. Upfront pricing, ESA inspection handled.
What a Commercial Generator Install Involves
Emergency power
A standby generator is only as reliable as the electrical work behind it. We handle the full installation: the load calculation and sizing, the automatic transfer switch, and the wiring that ties it into your service, all to code.
What we install:
Natural gas and propane standby generators, sized to your actual loads
Automatic transfer switches, so power cuts over in seconds with nobody on site
Essential-loads panels for businesses that only need critical circuits covered
Testing, service and repairs to keep an existing generator start-ready
We work with all major generator brands, coordinate with your gas fitter, and handle the ESA notification and inspection, so the installation is documented from day one.
When the Power Fails, Your Business Doesn't
Charged Electric installs and services standby generators for retail stores, restaurants, offices and facilities across Waterloo Region. One crew handles sizing, wiring, the transfer switch and the ESA paperwork.
Emergency Power
- Automatic Cutover
- With an automatic transfer switch, the generator starts and takes the load in seconds, whether anyone is on site or not.
- Sized to Your Real Loads
- We run a load calculation first, so you're not paying for capacity you'll never use or browning out on the day you need it.
- Licensed, Insured, ESA Inspected
- ECRA/ESA licensed 7011473 and fully insured. Generator wiring and transfer switches are inspected and documented, which your insurer will ask about.
- 24/7 Service After the Install
- If a generator won't start or won't transfer, we answer around the clock, including standby systems we didn't install.
Outages Cost More Than Generators
Worth planning
A power outage closes your doors, spoils refrigerated stock, drops your POS and security systems, and sends staff home. For many businesses, one long outage costs more than the standby system that would have carried them through it.
How we scope an emergency power project:
Walk the site and list the loads that actually matter: refrigeration, POS, security, heat, sump
Size the generator and transfer switch to those loads, with room to grow
Quote the full job upfront: generator, wiring, transfer switch and ESA notification
Already have a generator that hasn't been exercised in years? We test, service and repair standby systems too. Request a quote and we'll get back to you within one business day.

They installed a whole home generator for us. Top notch job! Everything went tickity boo. A lot of work involved but the trades were all very professional and explained the job to us as we went along. Other contractors wouldn’t even return our calls. Highly recommend! Local too!

I had them come help me with issues when I had my Lyric Thermostat. On time (early), pet friendly (did not mind my hyper chocolate lab) and price range very reasonable. I would highly recommend Charged Electric in the future.
