What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run during an outage. Most homes land between 14kW and 26kW. We do a load calculation on site so you get the right size for your home, not a guess.
Do I need an automatic transfer switch?
Yes, for a standby generator. The ATS senses the outage, starts the generator and switches your home over safely. It also keeps power from back-feeding onto the utility lines, which protects line workers.
How long does a generator install take?
Most residential installs take 1 to 2 days once the equipment arrives. We'll give you a clear schedule up front, including any permit and inspection steps in your area.
Do you handle the gas or propane line?
Gas and LP piping is done by a licensed plumber or your propane supplier. We handle all the electrical work and coordinate timing with them so the job goes smoothly.
Can I hook up a portable generator instead?
Yes. If a full standby system isn't in the budget yet, we can install a manual transfer switch or interlock with an inlet box so you can safely power key circuits from a portable generator. Never back-feed through a dryer outlet.
