Why Sacramento Foothills Homeowners Need Backup Power
PG&E's Public Safety Power Shutoffs, extreme heat, aging infrastructure, and wildfire risk make automatic backup power essential — not optional — for anyone living east of I-5.
PSPS Shutoffs Every Fire Season
PG&E cuts power to 200,000+ Sacramento-region customers annually during Diablo wind events. Outages last 24–72+ hours. Only automatic standby power keeps your home running.
Wildfire Corridor Risk
Folsom, EDH, Auburn, and Grass Valley sit in PG&E's Tier 2 and Tier 3 High Fire Threat Districts. Aging above-ground lines fail during red-flag conditions.
110°F Summer Heat
Sacramento Valley summers push the grid to failure. Rolling blackouts during 105°F+ heat are dangerous — especially for elderly residents, infants, and anyone with medical equipment.
Remote Work & EV Dependence
Home offices, EV chargers, smart HVAC, and pool equipment all fail together when the grid drops. A properly sized Generac keeps every circuit running.

What Sacramento Homeowners Are Saying
Verified reviews from Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, Auburn, and Placerville customers.
"Our Generac generator saved us during the PG&E PSPS outage last October. The team was fantastic - professional installation, explained everything clearly. Best investment we've made for our home!"
"Living in the foothills means dealing with wildfire shutoffs every year. Peak Power installed our whole home generator and it's been flawless. Great pricing, no pressure, just honest expertise."
"Called Peak Power when our generator wouldn't start before fire season. They were here quickly and had it running in less than an hour. Now we have them on annual maintenance - peace of mind is worth it!"
"The financing options made it possible for us to get a Generac system. They walked us through everything and made the process smooth. Generator kicked on automatically during our first PG&E shutoff!"
"Incredibly knowledgeable about generators. They sized our system perfectly for our well pump and AC, and explained the transfer switch setup so we understood everything. Professional from start to finish."
Serving the Sacramento Foothills & Gold Country
Headquartered in Folsom, we serve 9 primary cities and 45+ neighborhoods across Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada counties. Fast response, local crews, factory parts on the truck.
Why the Sacramento Foothills Trusts Peak Power Systems
Peak Power Systems has been the Sacramento Foothills' independent Generac generator specialist since 1986. Family-owned across two generations, we hold a California C-10 electrical contractor license (#789456), factory Generac PowerPro certification, and full liability and workers' compensation insurance. Every job we take on — from a $9,000 essential-circuits install in Broadstone to a $28,000 ranch system in Placerville — is performed by our own W-2 crew. We do not subcontract installations.
We install exclusively Generac air-cooled and liquid-cooled home standby units. Generac is the market leader for residential standby power in North America, and our factory training, parts access, and warranty authority mean your unit is registered correctly, your five-year manufacturer warranty stays valid, and warranty repairs happen without third-party finger-pointing.
What "turnkey" actually means when we say it
Some contractors quote "installation" and then hand you a punch list of permits to pull, gas plumbers to hire, concrete contractors to schedule, and PG&E interconnection paperwork to file. That is not what we do. Our fixed-price proposal covers every trade, every permit, every inspection, and every utility coordination step. When we hand you the keys, your generator is running, tested under load, registered with Generac, and inspected by both the county and PG&E.
PSPS, fire season, and why timing matters
PG&E's Public Safety Power Shutoffs have gone from an anomaly to an annual expectation across the Sacramento Foothills. Between 2019 and 2024, PG&E deenergized parts of Placer, El Dorado, and Nevada counties more than 30 times, with individual events ranging from 12 hours to 5 days. Diablo wind events — dry, downslope winds that spike fire risk from September through November — are the most common trigger, but heat-driven grid strain during 105°F+ Sacramento summers has produced additional rolling outages every year since 2020.
A Generac standby generator runs on your existing natural gas service or a propane tank. When the grid drops, an automatic transfer switch detects the outage in under a second and starts the generator within about 10 seconds. Your home stays powered until PG&E restores service — whether that's 6 hours or 6 days. No extension cords, no fuel runs, no 3 AM trips outside in a storm to top off a portable.
Financing that makes backup power realistic
We're an authorized Synchrony Project Card partner, which gives you two published financing options for Generac systems: 9.99% fixed APR for up to 132 months (~$100–$225/mo on typical installed prices), or 0% interest if paid in full within 18 months. Both are subject to credit approval and carry a $29 activation fee. We'll help you pre-qualify with a soft credit check that does not affect your score.
