Home Generator Installation in Simi Valley, Ventura County
Simi Valley sits in or near the wildland-urban interface, which means Public Safety Power Shutoffs and fire-season outages aren't hypothetical here — they're a recurring part of life. A standby generator is how Simi Valley homeowners stay powered through them.
EZ Power & Light installs and services standby generators throughout Simi Valley, Ventura County. Simi Valley homeowners and businesses rely on EZ Power & Light for all electrical needs. We serve all of Ventura County — from residential rewires to commercial tenant improvements to whole-home generators.
Every generator we install is permitted, inspected, and sized with a real load calculation — not a guess.
Generator installation in Simi Valley: what to expect
Because Simi Valley is in a higher fire-threat area, Southern California Edison can call a PSPS with limited notice and keep power off for days while crews inspect lines. A properly sized standby generator removes that uncertainty — it starts automatically within seconds of an outage and runs on natural gas or propane, so there's no fuel to haul or store.
We size every Simi Valley generator to the home, not to a sales target. The owner runs the load calculation, walks the gas line and the transfer switch location, and quotes a flat rate. We've done this across Wood Ranch, Bridle Path, Santa Susana Knolls and throughout Simi Valley.
Permits for Simi Valley generator installs
Standby generator installs in Simi Valley require an electrical permit — and usually a gas permit for the fuel connection. We pull the permit through the City of Simi Valley Building & Safety Division, coordinate the gas work, and meet the inspector on site.
The transfer switch ties into your existing panel. If your panel is old or full, we'll flag whether it needs attention before the generator goes in — better to know up front than on install day.

Old Federal Pacific panel was a fire hazard. EZ Power replaced it with a new Square D 200-amp panel and added a whole-home surge protector. Permits pulled, inspection passed. Very professional operation.
