East York · Standby Generators
Generator and backup-power installation across East York — essential circuits, home offices and sump pumps kept running through the next outage.
On August 12, 2026, a failure upstream at Toronto Hydro’s Basin transformer station cut power to roughly 31,000 customers, including much of East York and Thorncliffe. For many East York households — especially those working from home — it was a reminder of how much now depends on the power staying on.
Furnace, fridge, sump pump and the home office covered.
Automatic natural gas units where space allows.
Safe connection for portable units.
Manual or automatic, installed and inspected.
