Generators

Installing a home generator is a valuable investment, especially for ensuring uninterrupted power during outages.

We will guide you through the process:

​

• We will help choosing the Right Generator Type:

  • There are two main types of home generators:

    • Portable Generators: These are versatile and can power specific appliances or circuits during emergencies. They require manual setup and fueling.

    • Standby Generators: These are permanently installed and automatically switch on when the power goes out. They provide whole-house coverage and run on natural gas or propane.

• We will help you select the Location:

  • Standby Generators: Install the generator at least 5 feet away from all windows and doors to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your home.

  • Generators must be set concrete pad supported by a compacted gravel bed.

• Electrical Connections:

  • We will:

    • Install an automatic transfer switch that seamlessly switches between utility power and generator power during outages.

    • Ensure proper wiring and grounding.

• Gas Line Installation (if using natural gas):

  • If your generator runs on natural gas, a plumber will connect a gas line from your meter to the generator.

  • We will coordinate the installation process.

  • Proper installation ensures safe and efficient fuel supply.

  • ​We will test run the generator

We will help assess your power needs, budget, and we know the local regulations for choosing the right generator for your home! 🏠🔌💡
