Professional Installation & Long-Term Reliability

Your generator is an investment in home security—we install only systems we're confident will serve you for a decade or more.
Maintenance Plans & Reliable Support
A generator is useless if it won't start when the power fails. We offer comprehensive maintenance plans that include regular inspections, fuel system checks, load testing, and battery conditioning. Our maintenance keeps your generator ready to go. When an emergency strikes and you need your generator, we prioritize urgent repair requests and work to diagnose and resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
Transparent Assessment & Customized Solutions
Every home has different power needs. We conduct a comprehensive load assessment, identify which circuits and systems you want to power during an outage, and recommend the right generator size and type. You'll know exactly what your system will protect before we install it. There's no guesswork, and you'll never buy more—or less—generator than you actually need.
Our Generator Installation & Service Process
Comprehensive Home Power Assessment
Every generator installation begins with understanding your specific needs. Our technicians evaluate your home's electrical panel and load requirements, identify critical circuits (heating, cooling, refrigerator, lights, water heater, security systems), determine whether you need a partial-load or full-home backup solution, discuss your priorities during an outage—comfort, safety, food preservation, or full power restoration, review your property for optimal generator placement (outside, with proper clearance and ventilation), and explain generator types (portable, standby, natural gas, propane, diesel) and sizing requirements. This assessment ensures your recommendation matches your actual needs and budget.
Generator Sizing & System Design
Based on our assessment, we calculate your home's kilowatt demand and design a properly sized system. We specify the correct generator capacity (usually 10–20 kW for residential whole home systems), recommend fuel type based on your home's location and availability (natural gas, propane, or diesel), design the electrical transfer system that safely switches between utility power and generator power, plan fuel delivery logistics (gas line installation, propane tank placement, diesel storage), ensure the installation meets local building codes and permit requirements, and provide a detailed cost estimate and timeline. You'll understand exactly what you're getting and why before we break ground.
Professional Installation & Electrical Integration
Our certified technicians install your generator with meticulous attention to safety and code compliance. Installation includes delivery and positioning of the generator unit at the optimal location on your property, installation of fuel lines, venting, and exhaust systems to safely manage generator output, electrical integration with your home's panel and transfer switch installation, wiring the transfer switch to monitor utility power and activate the generator during outages, load calculation and circuit assignment so the generator powers your priority systems, proper grounding and safety cutoff configuration to protect your home's electrical system, and leak testing, pressure testing, and system verification before activation. A properly installed generator is safe for your family, your home, and the electrical grid.
Load Testing & Activation
Before we consider installation complete, we test your system under load. We start the generator and verify it activates properly, confirm the transfer switch detects power loss and switches automatically (or manually, depending on your system), load the generator with electrical demand and monitor voltage and frequency, verify all priority circuits receive power and the system operates smoothly, test fuel consumption and runtime so you know how long your system will run, and demonstrate the system to you and provide complete documentation and warranty information. You'll witness your backup power system in action before we leave.
Ongoing Maintenance & Repair Support
A generator installed today won't run reliably in ten years without proper care. We offer annual (or more frequent) preventive maintenance visits, including fuel system inspection and load testing, battery conditioning to ensure the starter battery stays healthy and ready, oil and filter changes to keep the engine in peak condition, generator self-test monitoring if your system includes smart controls, prompt repair support when you need your generator during an outage, and repairs and troubleshooting to restore your system quickly if issues arise. Our maintenance plans keep your generator ready to protect your home every single day.
Whole Home Generator Questions
Generator size depends on your home's square footage, which systems you want powered during an outage, and your electrical panel's capacity. A typical whole home generator ranges from 10–20 kilowatts (kW), though some larger homes may need 25+ kW. We conduct a load assessment to calculate your specific requirement so you don't oversize or undersize your system.
Portable generators require manual setup during an outage—you move them outside, connect fuel, and run extension cords into your home. Standby generators are permanently installed, automatically activate within seconds of a power loss, and connect directly to your home's electrical system. Standby generators cost more upfront but provide automatic backup with no homeowner action required, making them ideal for families who want reliable, hands-off protection.
Natural gas is convenient if your home already has a gas line, but it depends on local supply. Propane requires a tank on your property but offers excellent reliability and longer storage life. Diesel generators deliver high efficiency but require on-site storage and more maintenance. We recommend the fuel type that fits your home's infrastructure and your preferences. During your assessment, we'll discuss the pros and cons of each option for your property.
Runtime depends on your fuel type and generator load. A standby generator with natural gas runs indefinitely as long as your gas supply continues. Propane and diesel systems have limited fuel storage—your runtime depends on your tank size and power consumption. A typical propane system with standard tank sizing runs 24–48 hours during a full-load outage. We design your fuel capacity based on your priorities and backup time expectations.
Yes. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch detects a utility power loss in milliseconds and automatically transfers your home's critical circuits to generator power. The whole process happens in seconds—you won't even notice the switch. You don't need to do anything. The system returns to utility power automatically when grid power is restored.
We recommend annual maintenance for most residential generators, including oil changes, filter replacement, fuel system inspection, and load testing. If your generator runs frequently or you want extra peace of mind, we offer twice-yearly maintenance plans. Regular maintenance catches potential issues early and keeps your generator ready to perform in an emergency.
Whole home generator systems typically range from mid-range to substantial investments depending on size, fuel type, and installation complexity. We provide transparent pricing during your assessment and include all installation, permits, and testing in our estimate. We also offer flexible financing options through Wells Fargo to make generator installation affordable without straining your budget.
Generator installation involves electrical work, fuel system integration, and building code compliance—this is work for qualified professionals. Improper installation can damage your electrical system, create fire hazards, void warranties, and violate local codes. We handle the entire installation professionally so your system is safe, code-compliant, and reliable from day one.
During a power outage, your generator prioritizes which systems receive power. Your heating or air conditioning system can run on backup power if your generator capacity allows. Many homeowners prioritize their HVAC to maintain comfort during extended outages. During our assessment, we'll discuss how your generator can support your heating and cooling systems along with other critical home functions.
Annual maintenance is the baseline—oil changes, filter replacement, fuel system inspection, battery conditioning, and a full load test. We also recommend a "self-test" mode on many generators that automatically runs the unit briefly every few weeks to ensure it starts and operates. Following a maintenance plan extends your generator's lifespan and ensures it will reliably activate when you need it most.
