Stay Powered When the Grid Goes Down

Harris Electric - Backup Power & Generators

Alberta and Saskatchewan storms are unpredictable — your power doesn’t have to be.

High winds, snow, and extreme weather regularly knock out utility power across the region. When that happens, homes and businesses without backup power are left cold, dark, and offline.

Harris Electric provides complete backup power solutions — from simple generator connections to fully automatic standby systems — so you’re prepared before the next outage.

Common Questions about Backup Power & Generators

From compliance concerns to safety protocols, find the answers to your most pressing questions in our comprehensive FAQ section.
What is a GenerLink, and is it right for me?
+
A GenerLink is a safe, convenient connection point installed at your meter that lets you power your home using a portable generator you already own. It eliminates the need for extension cords running through windows and prevents dangerous backfeeding to utility crews. It's ideal if you're looking for a cost-effective, flexible backup option without purchasing a full standby system.
What types of generators does Harris Electric install?
+
We supply and install both portable and standby generator systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. We work with trusted brands like Generac and Cummins, and offer systems powered by natural gas, diesel, or propane. Each installation is customized to match your power needs, budget, and site requirements.
What's the difference between an automatic and manual transfer switch?
+
A transfer switch safely moves power from the grid to your generator. An automatic transfer switch detects an outage and restores power seamlessly—ideal for standby systems. A manual transfer switch requires you to flip the switch yourself, making it a reliable, cost-effective choice for portable generator setups. Both options are installed to CSA and utility standards.
What areas does Harris Electric serve?
+
