Never Lose Power Again.
Pacific Northwest storms can knock out power for hours — or days. Whatcom County winters bring heavy wind, ice, and extended power outages — especially in rural areas outside Bellingham proper. A whole-home standby generator kicks on automatically within seconds of an outage, keeping your lights, heat, refrigerator, and medical equipment running without you lifting a finger.
Secure Power handles the full installation: generator placement, transfer switch wiring, fuel line coordination, and electrical panel connection. We also maintain and repair existing systems so your backup power is always ready.

Bellingham Generator FAQ
Generator units range from $2,500–$4,000 for 7.5–10 kW models, $4,500–$6,000 for 14–18 kW, and $5,000–$8,000+ for 22–26 kW whole-home units. Installation costs vary based on distance from the panel and fuel source.
