What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us

Joey came out to find out why one of our ceiling light/fans keeps turning off sporadically. He found that one of the remote switches from the dinosaur ages was not syncing with the other one properly, and he let us decide if we wanted to keep both and fix it or just discontinue one of the switches, which was so much better for us. The switches are completely confusing when using two. We now can easily tell guests how to work the lights/fans. He was quick, thorough, and friendly. He also did a complimentary check of our entire electrical system and recommended some things we could use in the future. Excellent job, Joey. We really appreciate your help.

This wasn't the first time working with Amp and it will not be the last! Matt came out to help install a light fixture and knocked it out of the park! Very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with, and was very happy to help answer questions I had during the visit. I look forward to continuing to leverage Amp Electric for future projects as they are genuinely awesome!

I couldn't be happier with the service! Warren and Matt installed four overhead lights with a dimmer and removed some sconces for me. They were absolute professionals, completed the job quickly, and were very careful to keep my living room clean during the process. Every time I work with Amp I am pleased with the quality of the work and the customer sercice and professionalism of the technicians!

We needed a ceiling fan installed, a light switch, and two outlets updated in our 100 year old house for our first baby’s nursery. Being young and inexperienced, we wanted to find someone who would teach us what to do, what to look for, etc, and do all of the installation/updating. The owner of Amp, Joe, came out himself to give us a quote. He walked us through and educated us on our house’s wiring, etc., and really took time to teach us about what we were looking at.

We’ve used amp several times and plan to use them again in the future. Tyler and Seth were our technicians this time but our technicians are fantastic every time. I highly recommend for your electric and heating and cooling needs

Signs Your Home Is Ready for a Whole House Generator

Some homes just need a generator more than others. You’re probably ready to make the move if any of these sound familiar:

Your home has experienced multiple outages in the past year, especially ones that lasted more than a few hours.
You or someone in your household depends on medical equipment that requires a steady power supply.
You work from home and can’t afford unexpected downtime.
Your home has a sump pump, and losing power during a heavy rainstorm puts your basement at risk.
You’re tired of scrambling for flashlights and spoiled groceries every time a storm rolls through.

How Whole House Generators Work

A whole-house generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected directly to your electrical panel. It runs on natural gas or propane and kicks on automatically within seconds of detecting a power outage. Unlike a portable generator, you don’t have to haul anything out of the garage or run extension cords. Your home just keeps running.

Types of Whole House Generators We Install

We install a range of standby generator options to fit different homes and budgets:

Air-cooled generators are a great fit for most single-family homes and offer a balance of performance and affordability.
Liquid-cooled generators are built for larger homes or properties with higher power demands and provide more output over longer run times.
Natural gas generators connect to your existing gas line for a seamless, low-maintenance fuel source.
Propane generators work well for homes without access to a natural gas line.

We keep the process simple and stress-free. Here’s what to expect when you work with us:

Benefits of Installing a Whole House Generator

A standby generator does more than just keep the lights on. Here’s what Muskegon homeowners gain:

Your heating and cooling systems stay on, which matters a lot when temperatures drop into the single digits in January.
Your sump pump keeps running during the heavy spring rains that are common along the lakeshore.
Your refrigerator, security system, and medical devices stay powered without interruption.
Your home’s value goes up. Backup power is a real selling point in West Michigan.
You get peace of mind knowing your family is covered no matter what.
