Why Homeowners Install a Generator

When a Power Outage Becomes More Than an Inconvenience

These are the moments that turn “we should get a generator” into an actual decision.

You've Lost Power for Days, Not Hours

A short outage is an inconvenience. A long one means spoiled food, no heat or AC, and real disruption.

You Have a Sump Pump Protecting Your Basement

Lose power during a storm, and the pump that keeps your basement dry goes down with it.

Medical Needs That Can't Lose Power

For CPAP machines, refrigerated medications, or mobility equipment, losing power isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a real risk.

You Work From Home

An outage doesn’t just cost you comfort – it costs you a workday or more.

Master Electrician Who Cares

“We treat every panel, every outlet, every wire like it’s protecting our own family.”

— Mike Durbin, Master Electrician & Owner

Everyone I talked to was very kind, and the electrician, Jack, was very kind and... understanding. He knew exactly what to do and had a good attitude about his work. The job was relatively straightforward and he went in and got it done quickly so I only paid the minimum service fee. I would recommend Durbin if you need an electrician without crazy wait times.read more

Durbin Electric did a great job adding a subpanel to our completely full main panel. They also... installed outdoor outlets for our deck music system, patio TV and two eave outlets for security cameras. (The eave outlets required running wiring all the way from the basement into the attic.) They also added a floor outlet in the living room to eliminate an extension cord running across the floor to our couch. This was done over the finished part of the basement with no drywall work required at all!Very neat installation with minimal disruption in the house. I highly recommend them!read more

I needed a new light switch installed in a basement bedroom. There was nothing convenient for... the electricians to tie into. They figured out a way to make it work, and completed efficiently. The work done looked good, they cleaned up, and they wore protective gear to prevent damage to our floors and carpet. They were also punctual and very friendly and informative on the work done.read more

Trey and Trey were very professional and did a great job. Durbin themselves was reasonable... price in today's economy. Had to drop from 5 star to 4 star, as a day after they left I had a different plug-in for sump pimp quit working. I give Durbin credit for making it a priority due to incoming rain. They showed up on time and trouble shot the issue, which turned out to be one of the tandom circuit breakers that they had installed. But yet I was charged a $200.00 service charge for an issue that they causeed under the initial job. Not happy about being charged for something that should have been correct to start with. Contacted office, they where very understanding and took care of the issue. I would recommend Durbin to all my friends.read more
