Generator Repair & Installs in Stillwater, MN

Power Outages Are Increasing—Is Your Home or Business Ready?

Experts forecast a significant rise in brownouts and power disruptions over the next few years. That’s not just inconvenient—it’s risky for your home, business, or a second property.

Midbrod Electric provides more than just generator installation. We deliver peace of mind with affordable, reliable, code-compliant power backup generator systems built to perform when the grid doesn’t.

Top 5 Things You Should Know Before Installing a Generator

1. Not All Generators Are Created Equal

Different brands and models offer very different performance. We install trusted names like Briggs & Stratton, Generac, and Cummins, and help you select the correct size and fuel source for your property and usage.

2. Your Electrical System May Need an Upgrade

Some generators require an electrical panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit to manage load and comply safely. Midbrod evaluates your system during the initial visit and handles any service upgrades as needed.

3. Generator Placement and Code Compliance Matter

You can’t install a generator just anywhere. Local codes require safe clearance, proper ventilation, and permitting. We manage the process from permitting to final inspection, ensuring your install is clean, legal, and future-ready.

4. Affordable Options Are Available

Whether you’re looking for premium whole-home coverage or a more budget-conscious backup solution, we offer generator options for every property and price point. This includes generator installation for units bought at Home Depot, Menards, or Lowe’s.

5. Not Just for Homes—Commercial & Remote Installations Too

From multifamily properties to lakeside cabins, we install generators across a wide range of settings:

• Restaurants and offices
• Multifamily dwellings
• Cabins in Northern MN, Central MN, and Western Wisconsin

Power interruptions don’t just dim the lights. They can:
