backup power you can depend on
Professional generator installation and maintenance
Hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, utility failures, and damaged power lines can leave Louisiana homes and businesses without electricity for hours or even days. A professionally installed standby generator helps maintain comfort, protect essential systems, and keep operations moving until utility power returns.
generators
Sorrel Electrical provides residential and commercial generator sales, installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance. Unlike portable units that must be moved, connected, and refueled manually, standby generators are permanently installed and designed to start automatically when an outage occurs.
With generator options for properties of different sizes and power requirements, our team can help determine the system best suited to your home, business, and priorities.
reliable comfort and protection
residential backup power
A home can quickly become uncomfortable and difficult to manage when the power goes out. Air conditioning stops, refrigerators begin warming, security systems lose power, and important appliances or medical equipment may become unavailable.
Sorrel Electrical installs residential standby generators in new and existing homes. Systems can be configured to support selected essential circuits or, when properly sized, provide whole-home backup.
Our team evaluates the home’s electrical requirements and helps determine the generator capacity needed for the systems the homeowner wants to maintain.
Powering Household Essentials

Commercial Backup Power
For a business, even a short outage can interrupt sales, communications, equipment, refrigeration, security, and customer service.
Our team works with customers to identify essential systems and determine the generator and transfer equipment needed to support them.
Critical Business Systems
choosing the right generator
Planned around your property, priorities, and power needs
A standby generator must work as part of the property’s complete electrical system. Sorrel Electrical evaluates the electrical service, essential equipment, available fuel source, placement requirements, and installation needs before recommending a solution.
We install generators during new construction and add systems to existing homes and commercial properties. Our generator technicians receive specialized Kohler training in the inspection, testing, operation, and maintenance of the equipment we install.
Key Considerations
Installation Process
When a generator is included in new construction, its placement, transfer equipment, electrical service, and fuel connection can be coordinated with the larger project. Existing properties can also be evaluated to determine the electrical modifications needed for installation.
automatic standby power
hands-free protection during unexpected outages
You may be away from home, asleep, operating a business, or preparing for severe weather when the electricity suddenly goes out. An automatic standby generator removes many of the steps associated with responding to an outage.
When utility power is lost, the system detects the outage and starts automatically. Power is transferred to the generator without requiring the property owner to move equipment, connect extension cords, or manually start a portable unit. Once utility power returns, the system transfers the property back to regular electrical service and shuts down the generator.
Standby systems can operate on natural gas or liquid propane, depending on the property and selected equipment. Because the generator connects to an existing fuel source, there is no need to repeatedly refill a gasoline tank during an extended outage.
generator maintenance
readiness begins before the power goes out
A standby generator should not be installed and forgotten. Regular inspection and maintenance help ensure it is ready when it matters most. Sorrel Electrical is here to help keep standby systems prepared for an outage. Scheduled service allows our technicians to test operation, evaluate system condition, check for diagnostic concerns, and identify maintenance needs that could affect performance.
Because generators may operate only during scheduled self-tests and outages, developing problems are not always obvious during normal daily use. Property owners should pay attention to warning lights, alerts, unusual sounds, missed test cycles, or other signs that the system needs attention.
be ready before the storm
do not wait until the next outage to think about backup power
The best time to install and service a generator is before severe weather threatens the area. Planning ahead gives homeowners and businesses time to assess power needs, select the right equipment, complete the installation, and confirm that the system is operating properly.
Protect your home or business with backup power installed and maintained by an electrical contractor clients have trusted since 1944.
