What size generator do I need for my home?

The right generator size depends on how many appliances and systems you want to back up. We’ll calculate your home’s load requirements and recommend the best model. Proper sizing is essential for both performance and longevity.

What’s the difference between a portable and standby generator?

Portable generators are temporary and must be manually started and connected, while standby generators automatically start and power your home when an outage occurs. Standby systems are safer, more convenient, and better for whole-home use.

How long does it take to install a generator?

Installation typically takes one to two days, depending on the generator size and complexity of the electrical connections. We’ll review the full project timeline during your consultation.

Do generators require regular maintenance?

Yes, generators need regular maintenance like oil changes, battery checks, and system tests to stay ready for emergencies. We offer maintenance plans to keep your generator operating reliably.

Will my generator turn on automatically during an outage?

If you install an automatic transfer switch with your standby generator, it will start within seconds of detecting a power loss. You don’t have to do anything manually.

Can you install a generator with surge protection?

Yes, we can add whole-home surge protection to your system to safeguard your home’s electronics and appliances during power transitions.

Standby generators are designed to be relatively quiet, often about as loud as a central AC unit. Placement and modern designs help minimize noise around your home.

Is financing available for generator installation?

Yes! We offer financing options for generator installations and other electrical upgrades to make backup power more accessible for homeowners.
