If you’re in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, or surrounding communities, you’ve probably seen how quickly storms can turn into extended outages. A standby generator gives you confidence that the essentials (and the comforts) stay on—automatically.
Unlike “generic” generator installs, our process is built to remove the stress: we handle the red tape (surveys, permits, inspections, variances, product registration, maintenance records, and warranty claims) and we’re here for the long haul with maintenance plans and 24/7 service. That’s why Ready Power is trusted by thousands of customers and backed by 850+ positive Google reviews.
Summary
A Generac standby generator is one of the most popular, widely supported home backup power solutions in the United States—known for automatic operation, a strong service network, and a broad range of sizes for homes and light commercial needs. Ready Power USA is a Generac Power Pro Premier team serving Louisiana and nearby regions with a turnkey approach: consultation, sizing, permitting, installation, final inspection/testing, and ongoing support.
Why Generac Is a Top Choice for Backup Power

1) Brand recognition and broad model options
Generac is a household name in standby power, and for good reason: there’s a Generac solution for a wide range of homes—from “essentials coverage” to larger systems that power more of the home. That flexibility makes it easier to match your goals, your home’s electrical demands, and your budget—without overbuying or undersizing.
2) Automatic protection when outages hit
When the power goes out, a standby system is designed to respond automatically. In a region where outages can happen during heavy storms, high winds, and grid disruptions, automatic backup power isn’t just a convenience—it’s peace of mind. You don’t have to drag out cords, refuel a portable unit, or guess what to run.
3) Strong support network
One reason homeowners choose Generac is the depth of support available for parts, service, and trained technicians. For long-term ownership, that matters. Backup power is not a “buy it and forget it” product—your generator needs to be installed correctly and maintained so it’s ready when you need it most.
4) Great fit for Gulf South realities
In Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, we see the same concerns again and again: keeping food cold, keeping the home comfortable in humid heat, protecting electronics and security systems, and maintaining routine during weather events. A properly sized Generac system can support those priorities—especially when paired with a proactive maintenance plan.

Choosing the Right Generac Generator for Your Home
“Essential circuits” vs. broader home coverage
Not everyone needs to power everything. Many homeowners prefer a solution that reliably powers the most important systems—like refrigeration, internet, key lighting, garage door, and select HVAC or medical needs—without the cost of oversizing. Others want expanded coverage for comfort and convenience.
Why professional sizing matters
The best standby generator is the one that’s correctly matched to your home. Sizing impacts performance, reliability, and long-term satisfaction. Our job is to help you choose a Generac system that aligns with your goals while accounting for real electrical demand—so the generator performs as expected during an outage.
Generator Maintenance & 24/7 Service for Generac Systems
Maintenance keeps your generator ready
Standby generators are designed to be dependable, but they still need routine maintenance. A maintenance plan helps ensure your system starts, runs, and transfers correctly—especially after long stretches of normal utility power. Many of our customers choose proactive service because “finding out the hard way” during a storm is not a good option.
Repairs when you need them most
If your generator shows an alert, fails to start, or isn’t transferring power properly, our service team can help. We’re available 24/7 because outages don’t happen on a schedule. Our goal is to restore your confidence in the system—and keep your household or business protected.
