MR. ELECTRIC AND GENERAC SIGN AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE HOMEOWNERS WITH GENERATORS

WACO, Texas — Mr. Electric, an electrical service and repair franchise, forged a national alliance with Generac to offer customers automatic home standby generators.

Generac, a supplier of home standby generators, now joins a list of preferred vendors to bring emergency backup power to Mr. Electric customers across America.

“Whether combating electrical outages, lightning storms or any unplanned disruption to the power supply of a home, Generac Power Systems' emergency home standby generators will be a welcomed addition to the smart homes of today,” said Brant Foushee, vice president of Mr. Electric.

The generators will provide an alternate electrical source to residences within seconds of a power loss and will activate automatically. A single generator can power lights, appliances, security systems, furnaces and any essential electrical home features designated to operate consistently.

“Having the network of Mr. Electric franchisees offer the Generac line of home standby generators is a win not only for both of us corporately, but provides a big win to consumers who can speak with a knowledgeable and reputable installer in their local community,” said David Duffield of Generac.
