Canton and the surrounding Stark County communities experience some of the most unpredictable weather in Ohio, with lake-effect snow bands from Lake Erie reaching as far south as the Akron-Canton corridor.

Backup Power Solutions installs Generac, Kohler, and Cummins standby generators throughout Canton and Stark County, providing automatic whole-home backup power that starts within seconds of a grid failure.

We serve Canton neighborhoods and nearby communities including North Canton, Massillon, Alliance, Louisville, and Minerva. Our technicians are familiar with Stark County Building Department permit requirements and work directly with AEP Ohio to complete utility interconnection approvals.
