Generators


Reliable Backup Power for Your Home or Business

At SCOTTY’S PLUMBING & ELECTRICAL, we offer expert generator services to keep your property powered during unexpected outages. Serving Midland, Elmvale, Springwater, Tiny, Penetanguishene, and the wider Simcoe County area in Ontario, owner Scott and our licensed team provide comprehensive support for standby and portable generators. With over 30 years of multi-trade experience, we ensure your backup system is properly sized, safely installed, and ready when you need it most.
Power interruptions from storms, ice, high winds, or grid issues are common in this region, especially in rural areas or during Ontario’s unpredictable weather. A well-installed generator protects essentials like heating, refrigeration, medical equipment, sump pumps, well pumps, lighting, and more—maintaining comfort, safety, and functionality without the hassle of manual start-ups or extension cords.

Our Full Range of Generator Services

We handle every stage of generator ownership with professional, code-compliant work:

Standby Generator Sales and Installation

We help select the right automatic standby generator based on your home’s power needs, from whole-house coverage to essential circuits only. Our team performs site assessments, determines optimal placement (considering exhaust clearance, noise, and accessibility), installs the unit with a concrete pad if required, connects it to your natural gas or propane supply, and integrates it with your electrical system via an automatic transfer switch. This setup allows seamless, hands-free operation—your generator starts automatically within seconds of an outage and shuts down safely when power returns.

Portable Generator Hook-Ups and Advice

For those preferring portable units, we provide safe inlet box installations, interlock kits, or manual transfer switch setups on your electrical panel. We guide you on proper sizing, fuel management, grounding, and safe operation to prevent back-feeding risks or overloads.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Generator Maintenance and Annual Servicing

Regular upkeep is key to reliability. We perform scheduled maintenance including oil changes, filter replacements, spark plug inspections, battery checks, load testing, and full system diagnostics. Keeping your generator exercised and tuned ensures it performs flawlessly during an emergency.

Repairs and Troubleshooting

If your generator won’t start, runs roughly, fails to transfer power, or shows error codes, our team diagnoses and repairs issues quickly—whether it’s a faulty control module, carburetor problem, fuel delivery issue, or electrical fault. We work on air-cooled and liquid-cooled models to restore dependable operation.

Warranty and Authorized Service

We handle warranty repairs and service for leading brands, ensuring factory-authorized procedures are followed to maintain coverage. Our multi-trade background allows us to address related concerns—like gas line connections, electrical tie-ins, or concrete pad preparation—in one coordinated visit.

Seamless Integration with Our Other Services

As a full-service provider covering plumbing, electrical, heating & gas, and trenching & grading, SCOTTY’S PLUMBING & ELECTRICAL excels at projects where generators intersect with other systems. A standby installation might require gas line extensions, electrical panel upgrades, trenching for underground conduits, or plumbing adjustments for condensate drainage—all managed in-house for efficiency and consistency.
Scott’s commitment to complete home solutions means we approach generator work holistically: we explain options clearly, recommend systems that match your lifestyle and property layout, and prioritize safety features like carbon monoxide monitoring, proper venting, and overload protection. We adhere strictly to Ontario Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requirements and local bylaws.
Our local presence in the Elmvale-Midland area translates to prompt service—vital when outages hit—and practical insight into regional needs, such as robust setups for cottages, farms, or homes reliant on electric well pumps and baseboard heating.
Countless clients rely on us for peace of mind, returning for annual maintenance and referring neighbours during storm season. If you’re considering a generator, experiencing issues with an existing unit, or want to schedule routine servicing before the next weather event, our team is ready to assist.
