Mason Crampton

Dallan and Evan did excellent work installing our new 200A panel

Some of the best electricians we have worked with! Top quality workmanship and amazing service.

Daniel Burslem

Surrey, BC

I want to thank Thomas for being an absolute professional. He was at our home to help with a solar installation and was punctual, tidy, and communicated well. He didn't leave a scrap of garbage or a mark anywhere. You can tell that he takes pride in his work, he was willing and ready to answer any questions that I had, and I'm very happy with the outcome. In addition, he had an apprentice with him whom he was training with great care; I love the pay it forward approach of helping the next generation and teaching them a trade. Highly recommend Copper Mountain and Thomas. Thank you for the excellent work!

Darlene Weston

Anmore, BC

Copper Mountain Electric did a great job on the recent installation of our back up generator. Thanks to Thomas (who did the install) and Luke (who managed the project) for their professionalism and excellent customer service. We appreciated how they gave us different options at different price points to choose from all along the process. When we needed a few tweaks to the set up after our first power outage, Thomas came back and solved our issues without any delay. We would definitely use Cooper Mountain again for any other electrical jobs!

I highly recommend Copper Mountain Electric. Reliable, professional, knowledgeable. Service is fantastic.. It was great having Dallan work at my home solving my electrical issues and giving recommendations on automation. I now have control of my lighting and blinds with my phone 🙂

Tim Braaksma

Just had my Generac generator serviced this am. Copper Mountain installed it a few years ago and I've had them come yearly for routine maintenance. Highly recommend them, never any issues. Punctual, personable and get the job done properly without any fuss!

Frequently Asked Questions

DIY generator installation isn’t safe, and in most cases, not legal. Standby generators require:

  • Proper natural gas / propane connection
  • A certified automatic transfer switch
  • Correct panel integration
  • Load calculations to prevent electrical failures
  • Permit + code-compliant installation

Copper Mountain Electric has specialized expertise in high-end electrical systems like back up power generators, and is routinely trusted by the professionals who build luxury homes to install them.

We’re also authorized by Generac to sell and install their generators. We handle the entire process of backup generator selection and installation safely and professionally so your system works flawlessly when you need it.

  • Automatic power during outages — no manual start, no fuel cans, no cords, seamlessly integrated.
  • Protects home comfort — HVAC, sump pumps, medical devices, appliances, keeps you connected and productive.
  • Keeps security + smart home systems online.
  • Eliminates food loss and frozen pipes.
  • Adds long-term value to the home.

Benefits of Standby Power Generators Include:

Can I install my back up power generator myself?

What size generator do I need?

Sizing depends on what you want backed up:

  • Essential circuits only: fridge, lights, furnace fan, outlets (smaller kW).
  • Parts of the home: kitchen, HVAC, hot water, select rooms (mid-size kW).
  • Whole-home backup: all appliances + full HVAC (larger kW).

We provide a free load assessment (based on the electrical code) so you get the right size—not more, not less.

How much does a whole home generator cost?

Costs vary based on size, fuel source, installation complexity, and transfer switch. 

The following will impact the cost of your standby generator:

  • Equipment: varies by KW
  • Installation: electrical, gas, trenching if required, type of generator pad
  • Running costs: fuel consumption + utility usage
  • Maintenance: annual tune-ups for reliability

Our most frequently chosen back up generator option is the 24kw Generac Guardian generator. These units typically range in cost from $14,000 to $17,000 + GST. This price encompasses the generator itself, an automatic transfer switch, a sub-panel with breakers, permits, and the electrical labour required to complete the installation.

What does my generator installation include?

We offer clear, up-front pricing with no surprises.

Your Installation, Step-by-Step:
