A power outage does not wait for a convenient time. Whether it is a summer storm knocking out power to your Carlisle home or a production line going dark at a Butler County facility, a standby generator keeps things running. Orth Electric is an authorized Generac dealer serving homeowners, businesses, and industrial facilities throughout Butler and Warren County and the surrounding Cincinnati and Dayton area. We sell, install, and service the full Generac lineup, from portable units for basic backup to whole-home standby systems to larger commercial-sized generators for facilities that cannot afford downtime. Every installation is sized to the property it protects, tied into an automatic transfer switch, and set up on the fuel source (natural gas or propane) that makes the most sense for the site.
Robbie Orth has been in the electrical trade since 1992 and holds Ohio Master Electrician license EL 25756, so every generator installation is permitted, code-compliant, and wired to the standard the equipment manufacturer and the utility expect. We handle the load calculations that determine what size generator a home or facility actually needs, install and program the automatic transfer switch, and set up maintenance plans that keep a generator ready to start the moment the grid goes down. As a veteran-owned, licensed and insured shop, we back every generator job with the same 24/7 emergency response we offer for any electrical call.
It depends on what you want the generator to power: just the essentials like a well pump, sump pump, and refrigerator, or the entire property including HVAC. We do a load calculation on-site and walk you through the options so the generator you buy actually matches what you need, without overpaying for capacity you will not use.
Yes, generator installations typically require an electrical permit and inspection, and depending on the fuel source there may be additional requirements. We handle the permitting process as part of the installation so you do not have to navigate it yourself.
The transfer switch constantly monitors utility power. When it senses an outage, it signals the generator to start and switches your electrical system over to generator power automatically, usually within seconds, then switches back once utility power is restored. No manual action is required on your part.
Most standby generators need service roughly once or twice a year to check the battery, oil, filters, and run a load test, similar to servicing a vehicle engine. We offer maintenance plans so your generator is inspected on a schedule and ready to perform when you actually need it.
Yes. We service and troubleshoot Generac generators and can evaluate other brands as well, whether it is a routine maintenance visit, a repair, or diagnosing why a unit failed to start during an outage.
