When the power goes out in Allegheny County, you don’t have to be left in the dark. At Calfo Home Services, we provide backup generator installation, maintenance, and repair in Pittsburgh and surrounding neighborhoods, ensuring your home stays powered through storms, outages, and emergencies. From keeping the furnace running in the winter to powering your refrigerator in the summer, a whole-home generator delivers peace of mind all year long.
Pittsburgh’s terrain and older neighborhoods often mean overhead power lines — leaving homes more vulnerable to outages during storms. Suburbs like Monroeville, Bethel Park, and Moon Township also see extended outages in severe weather. A whole-home backup generator protects you whether you live in the heart of South Side, near PNC Park, or out by the airport corridor (15108).
We install and service backup generators across:
City neighborhoods: South Side Flats, Mount Washington, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Shadyside, Oakland, North Side
Suburbs: Monroeville, Cranberry Township, Robinson, Fox Chapel, Bethel Park, McCandless, Upper St. Clair, Sewickley
Zip codes: 15212, 15217, 15237, 15108, 15146, 15090, 15241

Q: Do you service all brands?
Yes. Our electricians are trained to maintain and repair Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Champion, Cummins, and more. Even if we didn’t install it, we can keep it running.
Q: How big of a generator do I need?
We size every generator based on your home’s electrical load. Some homeowners only power essentials like the furnace, refrigerator, and sump pump, while others choose full-home coverage for HVAC, lighting, and entertainment systems.
Q: How much does a generator cost in Pittsburgh?
Most whole-home generator installations in Allegheny County range from $3,000–$12,000, depending on the size, brand, and fuel source. Financing options are available through Calfo.
Q: How long does installation take?
Most installs are completed in one to two days, including permit handling and final testing.
Q: What fuel type should I choose — natural gas or propane?
If you’re in a neighborhood with natural gas service, that’s often the most convenient. For suburban or rural homes, propane tanks are a reliable alternative.
Q: Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes — our annual service agreements include oil changes, spark plug replacement, battery checks, and system testing to make sure your generator is ready when you need it.
