Keefe’s has been helping Greater New Orleans homeowners plan for outages since 1979. From Uptown shotguns and Lakeview ranchers to Metairie ranches and Northshore lakefront homes, we know how local power, weather, and home wiring actually behave. When you call, a real person picks up, and we will give you a clear arrival window so you are not stuck waiting around all day.
When we arrive, we walk you through what is going on in plain language and show you what we found before any work begins. You will get honest options in writing for installation, repair, replacement, or maintenance. No pressure, no surprise fees, no upsells you did not ask for. Just real answers and a fair price every single time.

Every generator quote we give in New Orleans gets the same three things, in writing, before we touch a tool.
| 1 A repair optionIf your existing generator can be safely repaired or serviced, we will show you that option first, with flat, itemized pricing. | 2 A replacement optionIf a new generator is the better long‑term choice for your home and budget, we will show you the math, not just the sales pitch. | 3 A “wait” optionWhen it is safe to wait, we will tell you. No pressure, no scare tactics, no rushing you into a decision. |
Every quote is broken out line by line in our Good, Better, Best format, so you can see exactly what each piece costs and pick what fits your budget. No mystery flat rates, no pressure, no “today only” deals.
We are also happy to give you a free second opinion on any generator installation or replacement quote you got from another New Orleans company. Bring us the proposal and we will go through it with you, no obligation either way.
For many families, yes. Outages in South Louisiana often happen during high heat, heavy humidity, and hurricane weather. A standby generator keeps your AC, lights, refrigerator, security system, and medical equipment running until utility power comes back. It is less about convenience and more about keeping the home safe and livable.
The right size depends on your AC tonnage, your panel, and the loads you want to keep on during an outage. Generators that are too small struggle in the heat, and generators that are too big cost more and waste fuel. We size every install based on your real home, not a guess based on square footage.
Yes, when it is sized correctly. In South Louisiana, keeping the AC running during an outage is one of the most important reasons to have a generator at all. We coordinate generator and HVAC sizing together so your home actually stays cool and dehumidified when the grid goes down.
A typical whole‑home generator install includes sizing, permits, equipment delivery, gas and electrical work, transfer switch installation, and final inspection. We handle the permitting in‑house so the project does not get stuck waiting on paperwork. Exact timelines depend on equipment availability and your home’s specific setup.
They absolutely need maintenance. A standby generator that has not been serviced in years often fails on the day you actually need it. We recommend at least one tune‑up a year, ideally before hurricane season, including oil, filters, battery, fuel, coolant, and a verified self‑test so you know it will start when the power goes out.
Yes. Whole‑home generators require permits and inspections in most South Louisiana jurisdictions. Keefe’s handles permitting and code coordination in‑house, so you do not have to chase down forms or schedule inspections yourself.
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Many older New Orleans homes still run on 100 amp service, and a new generator may need a panel upgrade or new circuits to be installed safely. Because Keefe’s also has electricians on the team, we can handle the panel and the generator in the same project, with one warranty and one point of contact.
Yes. We service standby generators across most major brands, even when we did not do the original install. If you bought your home with a generator already on it, or your original installer is no longer responsive, we can take over ongoing maintenance and repair.
We serve homeowners across the Greater New Orleans area, including New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, River Ridge, Algiers, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Chalmette, Belle Chasse, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Lacombe, Pearl River, LaPlace, and surrounding parishes.
