It depends on what you want to power during an outage: just the essentials (heat, fridge, lighting, sump pump) or the whole home. At the survey we run a load calculation and recommend the right capacity, without over-sizing.
A standby generator starts automatically and powers the home with no intervention. A portable costs less but you have to connect and start it yourself. We install both and advise based on your needs and budget.
Both are possible depending on what's available at your property. Natural gas offers continuous run time; propane suits places without a gas line. We assess your situation and coordinate the required connection.
It's the device that switches your power to the generator the moment an outage happens, then back to the grid when power returns, with no action from you. It's the heart of a fixed installation.
Yes. Installing a generator and its transfer switch requires an electrical permit and inspection. We file the permit, do the work to code and coordinate the inspection.
A standby generator needs periodic maintenance to stay reliable. We explain the recommended schedule and can coordinate maintenance as needed.
