Power outages are stressful and can leave your home or business in the dark. At W.E. Brown, we understand the critical importance of maintaining power. We provide a full line of generators that keep you up and running even during prolonged outages. Our skilled technicians install and maintain top-of-the-line backup generators to guarantee reliable power for your family, your customers, and your business operations. 

At W.E. Brown, we sell and install systems that feed directly into your electrical panel. This means they turn on automatically during a power outage. These advanced electrical systems are located outside and use their own fuel tanks to produce electricity for the duration of the power outage. Automatic generators are just that —automatic. You will never have to think about being without power, so your comfort is never compromised.
