Generator Installation

Residential

Do you have flood insurance or can you get flood insurance?  Do you have sensitive medical or computer equipment that will be compromised in the event of a power outage?

Consider an automatic back-up power source for emergencies. Homes are extremely vulnerable to flooding when power outages knock out our sump pumps. Not only is a power outage inconvenient anymore, it can be downright expensive. Power loss can also effect the elderly and home-bound relying on electrical medical equipment.  More and more people are working form home and/or have home based businesses.  Losses in power for those people may mean a loss of productivity and of income.

Alternate Power Industries Inc. has the experience to answer your questions and help you size the right generator to suit your needs. We’ve been helping home and business owners with reliable power solutions in the greater Chicagoland and Southern Wisconsin area for over 19 years from our brick- and- mortar office/warehouse in McHenry, IL. We also provide yearly maintenance to keep generators running at their prime. When it comes to your investment, you want a company with experience that does not skimp on installation and carries the best names in the industry.

Power Outages Happen! You can’t prevent them – but you CAN be prepared with an emergency back-up Power Generator. Protect your business, home, and family from the damaging results. We make it easy from start to finish!
