FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What size generator do I need for my home?
The right size depends on your energy usage and the appliances you want powered during outages. Smaller homes may only need portable units, while larger homes often require standby generators. Our electricians assess your needs and recommend the correct capacity for reliable performance.
How long does generator installation take?
Most installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the system size and property requirements. Our team evaluates your electrical setup, installs the generator and transfer switch, and performs testing to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operation before completing the project.
Do generators turn on automatically during outages?
Yes, standby generators equipped with automatic transfer switches activate within seconds of a power outage. This seamless transition ensures your property continues running without interruption. Portable generators require manual operation, but we install systems based on your preference and property needs.
How often should a generator be serviced?
We recommend servicing generators at least once a year. Regular maintenance includes inspections, oil and filter changes, battery checks, and testing. Preventive care ensures your generator operates reliably and reduces the risk of failure during critical outages, extending the life of the system.
Can a generator power my entire home or business?
Yes, standby generators can power an entire property if sized appropriately. Many systems allow you to prioritize essential appliances and systems during outages. Our electricians design setups to meet your unique needs, ensuring reliable performance without overloading your generator.
Are generators safe to use?
When installed by professionals, generators are completely safe. We ensure all systems are installed with proper grounding, ventilation, and transfer switches. This eliminates risks like carbon monoxide buildup or electrical backfeeding, giving you peace of mind your system operates safely.
What’s the difference between portable and standby generators?
Portable generators require manual setup, fueling, and operation, while standby generators connect directly to your property’s electrical system and start automatically during outages.
