Generator Installation in Minneapolis & St. Paul, MN

Keep Your Home Powered With a Standby Generator From Dean’s

Winter snow and ice, summer thunderstorms, and even the occasional car accident can lead to power outages in the Twin Cities area. If the electricity stays off for more than a few hours, homes can quickly become uncomfortable, the food in the fridge may spoil, and internet withdrawal may soon set in. To make sure your family is safe, comfortable, and entertained during extended power outages, consider a whole-home generator from our team at Dean’s Home Services.

We offer standby generator installations throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding areas, and we’re the only team to do all the work completely in-house, so you don’t have to worry about subcontractors.

Why You Should Install a Backup Power Generator

Power outages are more than just an inconvenience. For many residents of Minneapolis, a loss of power can mean the heating and air conditioning systems will not work, the stove or oven won’t turn on, and critical devices can shut down if they don’t have a charge.

Installing a backup power generator can help to:

  • Provide minimal disruption during short power outages
  • Prepare for long-term outages due to storms or natural disasters
  • Keep your HVAC system running and your home comfortable when the electricity is out
  • Power refrigerators and freezers to keep your food safe
  • Keep your stove, oven, and microwave operating to prepare food
  • Provide power for medical devices, internet, television, and emergency communications
  • Give your family peace of mind during power outages and emergencies

Generator FAQs

What size generator do I need for my home?

The size of generator you’ll need will depend on a number of factors. If you are only looking to keep a few essential appliances powered, you’ll need a smaller generator than if you want to keep everything in your home powered. The size of your home and average electrical usage will also help determine the size of generator you’ll need. Our professionals will take all of this into account when recommending the ideal generator for your home.

Can a home generator be installed in any type of home in the Twin Cities?

Generally, yes, a home generator can be installed in any type of home in the Twin Cities area. Whether or not a generator will be suitable for your home can depend on if you have the suitable space in order to install one.

How does a home generator keep my power on during storms?

Your home’s power comes from the electrical grid, but this can go down for a number of reasons, including storms. When the grid is no longer able to supply power, your standby generator will sense this and automatically kick on to replace the power to your home. Generators produce their own electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, allowing them to be a sufficient power source during an outage.

What type of fuel do home generators use?

Most home generators will use either diesel fuel or natural gas for power. Cummins offers both diesel and natural gas generators for residential use.

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 Priority What Dean’s Customers are saying
I recently bought a new house and quite a few things needed upgrading / replacing. Deans has done fantastic work on all these things. Scheduling is fast and easy. They are able to come out quickly to assess it and give an estimate. And they can quickly schedule the service. All the technicians have been fantastic. Friendly, and quick and efficient. I am so glad I am a member and I will recommend Deans to anyone. Mark B.
Matthew came for a general plumbing inspection. He was friendly and polite and even a little bit early for his appointment. That is a wonderful thing. He checked all the toilets and sinks, the water heater and water softener. All the while explaining what he was doing. He had some ideas on a few repairs but wasn't an alarmist about it. Things that just had to be done, sooner than later, but not immediately. The Dean's club membership is definitely worth it. Susan M.
Eric B was awesome and informative. Today he came and gave us a rundown of our new homes air ventilation and Furnace/AC systems so we are all ready for winter and beyond. We had Dean's install a new furnace, ac and water heater at our previous home and they did such a wonderful job and so easy to work with we will only use them from now on. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Jayme K.
I had Dean's come out a couple times for different services. Once to install venting for a bath fan and once for service for my furnace. There were no surprises in pricing and service was quick. Sam was the tech both times and he did a great job for both jobs. For the furnace, he diagnosed the issue within minutes of starting the work and got it up and running quickly. They had all the parts in the truck already. As far as the appointment, I requested service online, had a call back within 15 min and the tech was in my driveway an hour later. I would highly recommend Dean's. Dan P.
Of the several electricians I contacted, Dean's offered by far the quickest dispatch time, which is great because my thermostat broke and wouldn't start my A/C at all. Given that temperatures are supposed to reach 98 degrees tomorrow, time was of the essence. Thankfully, Dean's had someone out within an hour. I worked with Seth, who was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He ran a 'C' wire to our new smart thermostat and got it installed in about an hour at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend Dean's to anyone who needs an electrician. Michael Y.
