Farm Electrical Services, Start to Finish

The full list of agricultural electrical services covers each one in detail.

Backup Power for Farms

A power outage on a livestock farm is more than an inconvenience. Ventilation stops, waterers freeze, and milk cooling shuts down. A properly sized standby or PTO generator keeps those systems running until the grid comes back. Winter is when outages hit hardest, which is why farms around Harpers Ferry need a backup generator before winter. We help you choose the right system, install it with a proper transfer switch, and service it afterward.

Generators We Offer

A power outage on a livestock farm is more than an inconvenience. Ventilation stops, waterers freeze, and milk cooling shuts down. Winter is when outages hit hardest, which is why farms around Harpers Ferry need a backup generator before winter. We sell, install, and service three types of generators, so you can match the backup to the way your place runs.

Generac Standby Generators

A standby generator is mounted permanently next to the building it powers and starts on its own when the grid goes down. No one has to be home to switch it on. Generac standby units work for farmhouses and farm buildings alike, so the house, the barn fans, and the well pump can come back on within moments of an outage.

Cummins Standby Generators

Cummins also makes automatic standby generators. They run quietly and efficiently and suit both residential and agricultural use. They're a good fit for a home, a shop, or a livestock building that needs power the moment the lines drop.

Winco PTO Generators

A PTO generator has no engine of its own. It runs off a tractor's power take-off, so the tractor you already own becomes the power source. Winco PTO units are built rugged for farm use, and since one generator can be hitched up wherever it's needed, they're a practical choice for operations with buildings spread across the property.
