Seattle Standby Generators: Are You Really Ready for the Next Outage?

Seattle Standby Generators

Choosing standby generators in Seattle, WA often starts when outages hit at the worst possible moments. Lights shut off. The house goes quiet. Everything pauses. That’s usually when homeowners reach out to 2 Sons Plumbing, Sewer, Heating & Air to figure out which Seattle standby generators actually keep life running the way it should.

How do Seattle standby generators kick in when the grid drops out?

Why do homeowners trust Seattle standby generators for real backup protection?

Most homeowners want something automatic—something that works even if they’re not home. Seattle standby generators turn on by themselves, keep essential systems running, and make power outages far less stressful.

I want to start by saying that Jeff and the rest of the plumbing team are absolutely great. They are very knowledgeable, professional, and clearly know what they’re doing. The quality of their work is solid, and I never felt like I was dealing with people who didn’t understand their craft.

That said, the pricing is extremely high. I completely understand paying for quality and expertise, but the cost made it hard to move forward with them for future work. If their prices were more reasonable, they would 100% be the company I would use every time.

So if budget is not a concern, you’ll likely be very happy with them. But for those of us who have to balance quality with affordability, the pricing is something to seriously consider.

We have used 2 Sons Plumbing quite a few times now and have never been disappointed! Courteous, professional, knowledgeable and efficient describes everyone from the office to the field teams! One of their team members, while here installing a sink fixture, overheard an estimate we were getting from a visiting sales rep for a project. Their team member (Carey) offered that the estimate was way over priced (by over $20k). We had 2 Sons price it out for us and they came in $23k less. We have a couple planned projects upcoming and plan to use them for that as well as any unexpected issues that arise. Just this week, they dispatched a team on NYE as our water heater broke. Once again, good price, courteous, professional and efficient! I/we are so pleased to have found this company! We highly recommend them! (NOTE/FYI: I, the posting party, copied this from my Yelp Review)

Justin and Bryce were swift and thorough when we experienced an emergency leak in our daylight basement. They quickly identified the problem as a leaking water heater, provided a quote, and completed the work within just a few hours. The job included draining the old water heater, removing and properly disposing of it, and supplying and installing a brand-new unit. We are incredibly grateful that they came out on New Year’s Eve and ensured we didn’t start 2026 without running water. They also offered a great recommendation for addressing separate water damage caused by another issue. Highly appreciated and highly recommended

Huge props to Adam. We had been trying to replace our kitchen sink ourselves but ran into some issues, so we called for help. They were able to come out the very same day, which was a huge relief. We needed a new faucet installation, a separate hot water faucet, and water tank set up.

Adam was fantastic. He fixed our kitchen sink and even helped with a stubborn screw we could not get undone (I spent 4 hours myself before trying to get it out) , all with incredible patience and friendliness. He explained everything he was doing clearly, which made the whole process easy to understand and feel confident about. The new installation looks fantastic. Will definitely use them again.

Great service for people who hate money

This is a wonderful company to repair your plumbing issues, including storm drains and sewer lines—ONLY if you have the disposable income of a tech bro or sis. I don't.
I called because the storm drain receiving my downspout was clogged. It was adjacent to work they have done before. Without even coming to the site, a technician diagnosed a total failure over the phone. Their solution? Demolish the concrete, access and remove the P-trap, and redo the entire install for a "discounted" manager promo of $4,000.
I ended up fixing the issue in 5 minutes with a Shop-Vac. Total cost: $0.
I’ve used them for a sewer line repair before and now realize I likely funded their entire holiday party. Why fix a drain for free when you can pay $4,000 to have your walkway ripped up? This is the team for you if your budget is infinite and your patience for common sense is zero.

UPDATE: A real pro checks for a simple clog before recommending a sledgehammer. We all know they were looking for a payday.

Adam came to my house and gave excellent service and worked very efficiently. He was incredibly professional and personable and kind. He educated me on my plumbing situation so that I’m better equipped to prevent issues in the future and to preserve integrity of items and appliances I use and in a way easy for me to understand. I hope every experience for every customer with 2 Sons goes this way. Everyone I’ve had come to my house with 2 Sons has been great — competent, kind, professional, and transparent. Adam was terrific.

Justin and Bryce responded to a same day house call on December 9 when we found water seeping between the wall and floor of our garage laundry area. I cannot rate their service highly enough. They arrived around 5pm and stayed until after 8:30 to finish the job the same day. I waited to submit a review because other work we've had done was done to last a few days -- just enough time to get a good review. Justin and Bryce's work has definitely held up. It was unclear where the leak was coming from, but they spent a.long time investigating, including in the crawl space under the house, to find the right place in the wall to open up. They opened up only about 2 feet of wall and hit the leak exactly. They fixed it quickly and permanently. They are very professional and efficient. We are extremely happy and will definitely call 2 Sons first for any future needs. Thank you!

I had a wicked combo of 50 yr old bathtub faucets ( the hot water completely frozen in the “on” position) and a 13 year old hot water heater …. Yep, on Saturday … 2 Sons sent Carey out on Sunday and he advised me to wait until Monday when he could really solve my problem with high quality hardware and a new hot water heater! Carey came out Monday with Micah , beautiful copper pipes, a new hot water heater and a modern bathtub faucet. In 5 hours I had a new bathtub faucet and a new hot water heater. On top of really good craftsmanship , they respected and protected my existing tub/ toilet / sink. Thanks for a job well done!! M & M Watts

Have used 2 Sons multiple times to help with the plumbing in our house and every time has always been great. This time was no exception. Dave was amazing - very knowledgeable and reasonable in his suggestions and treatment of our plumbing issues. He was also very kind and was respectful of our house and space. Would definitely hire him again.

2 Sons Plumbing did a fantastic job! I had a difficult water line replacement job, and they were friendly, quick and professional. The work turned out great. I had Dave as the project manager and he was honest and great to work with.

Would use them again for sure.
