Amherst is a growing community in eastern Lorain County, situated between the Lake Erie shoreline and the more rural interior of the county. The area experiences lake-effect snow events that can drop significant accumulation in a matter of hours, and the resulting power outages can last well into the following day. Backup Power Solutions installs and services Generac, Kohler, and Cummins standby generators throughout Amherst and surrounding Lorain County communities, ensuring your home stays warm and powered no matter how long the grid stays down.
We serve Amherst, Amherst Township, Oberlin, and surrounding eastern Lorain County communities. Our technicians handle all Lorain County Building Department permits and FirstEnergy interconnection paperwork from start to finish.
Amherst homeowners with sump pumps benefit enormously from standby generator protection, particularly during spring thaw and heavy rain events when power outages and flooding risk coincide. We factor sump pump load into every generator sizing calculation at no extra charge.
Backup Power Solutions serves all of Northeast Ohio. Our licensed technicians travel throughout Summit, Stark, Portage, Medina, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties.
