What You Actually Get

Features Mean Nothing.
Outcomes Do.

Every generator we install does the same thing: it removes the risk of living without power in Michigan. Here's exactly how.

Your home powers itself.

Automatic transfer — detects an outage and starts in seconds, shuts off when power returns. No cords, no switches, no action required.

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) standard on every install.

Runs on fuel you already have.

Natural gas or propane — cleaner and quieter than portable generators, and no refueling runs during a multi-day outage.

Compatible with natural gas (utility line) or propane (existing or new tank).

Know it's working from your phone.

Remote monitoring sends performance data, maintenance alerts, and severe-weather notifications straight to your phone. You'll know it's ready before you need it.

Mobile app connectivity included. Weekly self-test runs automatically.

Protects what matters.

Furnace, sump pump, fridge and freezer, well pump, medical equipment, Wi-Fi for your home office — everything you rely on stays on.

Load calculated precisely for your home. Never over- or under-sized.

ESCON installed our 22kW generator last fall. When we lost power for 4 days during the ice storm, we didn't skip a beat. Best investment we've ever made in our home.

The crew was on time, professional, and left the job site spotless. They walked me through everything and answered every question. Highly recommend to anyone in mid-Michigan.

Called three other companies — ESCON was the only one who did an actual load calculation instead of just guessing a size. That told me everything I needed to know.
