Power outages can strike at any time—whether from earthquakes, wildfires, or rolling blackouts. In Greater Los Angeles, where unpredictable weather and an aging power grid create frequent disruptions, a backup generator is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

At Hoffer Electric, we’ve been providing whole-house generator installation for over 40 years. We know how important it is to keep your home powered and your family safe. Whether you live in North Hollywood, Culver City, the West Side, or the South Bay, having a reliable generator means you never have to worry about losing electricity when it matters most.

🔋 The Growing Need for Backup Generators in Los Angeles

California’s power grid faces increasing strain due to extreme weather, increased energy demand, and planned outages. In fact, rolling blackouts are becoming more common during wildfire season and hot summer months. For homeowners, this means potential losses like:

• Food spoilage due to refrigerator failure
• No air conditioning during heatwaves
• Inoperable security systems leaving your home vulnerable

By installing a whole-house generator, you ensure your home stays operational, no matter what happens outside.

⚡ How Backup Generators Work: Seamless Power, Automatically

When the power goes out, an automatic standby generator kicks in immediately—without manual intervention. This means no extension cords, no messy refueling, and no fumbling with manual starts.

At Hoffer Electric, we install GENERAC generators, known for their efficiency and reliability. Here’s how they work:

1. Automatic Detection – The system monitors your home’s power supply 24/7.
2. Instant Activation – Within seconds of a power loss, the generator automatically starts.
3. Consistent Power – It delivers electricity to essential appliances, including:
   • Refrigerators & Freezers
   • Heating & Air Conditioning
   • Lighting
   • Home Security Systems
   • Internet & Communication Devices
