Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What size generator do I need for my home?
The right size depends on what you want to power during an outage. A smaller generator can cover the essentials like lights, refrigerators, and sump pumps, while a whole-home generator keeps everything running, including your HVAC system. Our team will evaluate your electrical panel and discuss your priorities to recommend the best fit.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes setting the concrete pad, connecting the generator to your electrical panel, and hooking it up to your fuel source. We handle all necessary permits and inspections as well.
Do you offer financing for generator installations?
Most residential installations are completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes setting the concrete pad, connecting the generator to your electrical panel, and hooking it up to your fuel source. We handle all necessary permits and inspections as well.
What type of fuel does a standby generator use?
Most standby generators run on natural gas or liquid propane. If your home already has a natural gas line, that’s typically the most convenient option. For homes without natural gas, propane is a reliable and readily available alternative. We’ll help you determine the best fuel source during your consultation.
How often does my generator need maintenance?
We recommend having your generator professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance includes checking the oil, filters, battery, and all electrical connections to make sure everything is in top shape. Keeping up with routine service extends the life of your generator and ensures it’s ready when you need it most.
Will my generator turn on automatically during a power outage?
Yes. A standby generator is connected to an automatic transfer switch that detects when utility power is lost. Within seconds, the generator kicks on and begins powering your home. When utility power is restored, it shuts off and switches you back to the grid automatically.
Is a generator a good investment for my home's value?
Absolutely. A permanently installed standby generator is a desirable feature for homebuyers, especially in areas prone to power outages. Beyond resale value, it also protects your home from the costly damage that can come with extended outages, like frozen pipes, flooded basements, and spoiled food.
