Backup Power You Can Count On
Whole Home Generators with Cummins
Always-On Power for Your Home
Don’t let outages disrupt your life! With a whole-home generator, you’ll maintain critical systems — HVAC, pumps, lighting, appliances — running smoothly during storms, grid failures, or emergencies.
Extended outages can cost homeowners hundreds or even thousands of dollars in spoiled food or damage to the home’s mechanical systems. A whole-home generator helps avoid these losses by keeping your refrigeration and other essential systems powered without interruption.
At Cooper’s Water, we’re proud to offer backup power solutions through our partnership with Ferrer Mechanical. While we’ll manage your experience, estimates, and customer service, Ferrer’s licensed technicians will perform the mechanical and electrical installation.

- Refrigeration / freezers
- Lighting and outlets
- Medical equipment
- Smart home, security, communications
- Major appliances (refrigerator, freezer, stove, water conditioning and even, your washer/dryer) — depending on load capability
(We’ll help you prioritize essential vs non-essential loads during sizing.)
Fuel Options & Considerations
| Fuel Type | Advantages | Considerations |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will A generator run everything at once?
It depends on how large your generator is and your total load. We usually design for “critical loads” (HVAC, water systems, refrigeration, lighting) but may phase out non-essential appliances during heavy usage.
How is this different than a portable generator?
Whole-home systems are permanently installed, automatically transfer power when outages occur, and offer much higher capacity and reliability than portable units.
How often does maintenance need to happen?
Typically, annual preventive maintenance is recommended: oil, filters, battery, load testing, and system diagnostics.
How long does installation take?
Most installations take 1 to 3 days, depending on site complexity, permitting, and fuel hookup.
