Perry Outage History
Why Perry Homeowners Act
Perry homes can wait on either of two utilities. After more than 320,000 Illuminating Company customers lost power on August 6, 2024, a utility-wide figure, FirstEnergy's community list estimated restoration for Perry and Perry Township at August 12 by 11 a.m. Painesville Municipal Electric, which serves parts of Perry, had 80 to 85 percent of its customers back 24 hours after the thunderstorm of October 20, 2018. Winds on December 29, 2025 left more than 3,600 out across Lake County, a county figure.

Essential circuits: furnace, fridge, sump pump, lights
Most homes under 3,000 sq ft (whole house)
Larger homes with two furnaces or more central air

Your Perry estimate breaks out the generator, the work of our own crew and the automatic transfer switch, plus the 12-Year Power Plus Warranty on Generac air-cooled units. Fuel is Enbridge Gas Ohio natural gas if a main reaches you, or a propane tank if not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Perry Generator Questions, Answered
Which electric utility serves my Perry home?
It depends on the road. Painesville Municipal Electric lists parts of Perry Township, from Route 84 and US 20 to the Perry/Madison limit line, the western end of River Road and the Middle Ridge Road area. The Illuminating Company also serves Perry and Perry Township. We check your meter at the estimate.
Do village and township rules differ for a Perry generator?
The building side does not: Lake County lists both Perry Village and Perry Township as jurisdictions. Zoning is local, with the township’s office at 3740 Center Road. Generator One pulls any permit the county requires with a licensed electrician.
What does the county want for a generator permit in Perry?
Lake County’s checklist names electric and fuel gas piping applications, one line diagrams, a site plan showing the generator’s location and kW, and zoning approval or the name of your local zoning official.
What knocks out power in Perry?
Trees and wind on overhead lines, on both systems. Painesville Electric said most outages in the October 20, 2018 thunderstorm came from down trees, branches and snapped poles, and more than 320,000 Illuminating Company customers lost power on August 6, 2024.
Natural gas or propane for a Perry house?
Perry and Perry Township are both on Enbridge Gas Ohio’s lists of communities served, so look for a main first. Where no line reaches the house, a tank on site does the job, and we size it for a long outage.
Who do I call about a Perry generator repair?
Our service number, (440) 754-6142. Someone from our team takes the call, and a technician comes from our nearest facility with a stocked truck.
