CHICAGO'S AUTHORIZED GENERAC INSTALLER — FACTORY-TRAINED, FACTORY-BACKED, LOCALLY INSTALLED
As an Authorized Generac Power Systems Dealer, High Power Inc. installs, maintains, and services the industry’s leading standby generator line for homes and businesses across Chicagoland. From a home unit that powers your essentials to a commercial generator that keeps your business running through a multi-day outage — we handle the entire process from spec to startup: permits, concrete pad, gas line work, transfer switch installation, and city inspection.
- Authorized Generac Dealer — factory-certified technicians, full 5-year warranty, and Mobile Link remote monitoring from day one.
- We size your generator from an actual electrical load calculation — not a one-size-fits-all sales pitch.
- From permit to final inspection, we handle every step — you never call ComEd, the city, or a concrete contractor.
- Annual maintenance contracts keep the warranty valid and the generator ready for the storm that matters most.
