Lorain sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie, making it one of the most storm-exposed cities in Northeast Ohio. Lake-effect snow events can dump 12–18 inches in a matter of hours, and the coastal location means high winds frequently accompany winter storms. Backup Power Solutions installs Generac, Kohler, and Cummins standby generators throughout Lorain County, giving homeowners in Lorain, Elyria, Amherst, and Avon Lake automatic protection when the grid fails.

We serve Lorain, Elyria, Amherst, Avon Lake, Sheffield Lake, and surrounding Lorain County communities. Our team handles all Lorain County Building Department permits and FirstEnergy interconnection requirements so your installation moves forward without delays.

Lorain's proximity to Lake Erie means sump pumps are critical during spring thaw and heavy rain events. A standby generator ensures your sump pump never stops running during a power outage — protecting your basement from flooding even when the storm lasts for days. We factor sump pump load into every generator sizing calculation.
