About Generator Installation in New Iberia and Lafayette
Pipes and Plugs is a licensed electrical contractor providing standby generator installation, repair, and maintenance services across South Louisiana. We serve homeowners and businesses in New Iberia, Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Maurice, Abbeville, Jeanerette, Loreauville, St. Martinville, Franklin, Baldwin, and surrounding Acadiana communities. With over 40 years of combined local experience and Electrical Contractor License #42498, our generator team handles every part of the install in-house, from electrical to gas line to permitting.
A whole-home standby generator is one of the most valuable investments a Louisiana homeowner can make. Our region experiences hurricanes, tropical storms, severe thunderstorms, and occasional winter weather events that knock out power for hours, days, or even weeks at a time. Without backup power, families lose refrigerated and frozen food, suffer through extreme heat or cold without HVAC, lose lighting and security, deal with sump pump failures that cause flooding, and put medical equipment users at serious risk. A standby generator activates automatically within seconds of an outage and powers everything you need until utility power is restored. Most homes across Acadiana run on natural gas or propane standby generators sized between 10 kW and 24 kW, depending on the home's electrical load and which systems the homeowner wants powered.
Pipes and Plugs handles every aspect of generator installation in-house. Our licensed electricians evaluate your home's electrical load, recommend the right generator size and fuel type, pull the required permits, install the generator and automatic transfer switch to current Louisiana code, run gas line work when needed, and coordinate the inspection. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans that include regular inspections, oil changes, battery checks, and load tests so your generator is ready when the next storm hits. Pairing a generator install with whole-home surge protection and a panel upgrade creates a complete hurricane preparedness package that protects your home from grid failure and the surges that come with restored power.
