If you’ve decided you want backup power for your Memphis home, the next question is usually the harder one, which generator, and what size? A generator that’s too small won’t carry your whole house through a real outage. One that’s oversized means paying for capacity you’ll never use.

As a Generac dealer and technician, Upchurch Builders installs and services the full Generac home standby lineup across the Memphis area, and we have a straightforward breakdown of what’s available, how sizing works, and which generator tends to fit which kinds of homes. When in doubt, call Upchurch Builders!

Power outages in the Mid-South aren’t rare events, especially in Memphis. Summer thunderstorms knock out powerlines across Shelby County, winter storms leave neighborhoods dark, and old grid infrastructure means that the next power outage is only a matter of time. For homeowners in Memphis and the surrounding communities, the question isn’t really if the power will go out, it’s when, and what you do about it.
