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.

I recently purchased a townhouse that was in need of some repairs and updates. I scheduled to have a plumber and an electrician from.Banks Quarles. Michael Rainey inspected my inoperable tankless water heater, and due to its age, determined it needed to be replaced. He also advised on having a surge protector installed since my home did not have one, and was likely the cause of damage to the water heater. Ted Green replaced several light fixtures and ceiling fans. A couple of electrical boxes had to be moved or added for the lights. Ted was also able to install the surge protector. Both Michael and Ted arrived promptly and were very professional and friendly. The plumbing and electrical jobs required several hours of work. The guys were patient and good at explaining the work being done. I would highly recommend having work done by either of these technicians.

Recently a storm took power lines down in my neighborhood, & ripped the meter & fuse box from the side of my house. Banks Quarles’ office person was wonderful, & got me scheduled asap, sent their electrician, Ted to assess the damage & help me get power back to my house. Ted rebuilt my service, handled getting the city inspector out to sign off on the work, & helped me deal with Alabama Power to get my power line restored to the house & turned back on. Ted went above & beyond to help me get my power back as soon as possible, he even helped me by getting into my garage to release the electric garage door so I could get my car out! He was so very helpful, polite, pleasant, & professional! He is a great ambassador for the Banks Quarles company! I cannot reccomed Banks Quarles highly enough! A hundred stars!😊

Seth, Dalton, Gator and Anthony spent all day at our house installing a new inside and outside unit. They were professional, respectful and efficient. Anthony cleaned our ducts without judgment (4 kids). Seth stayed late to be sure everything was functioning properly and pristine. He even loved on our attention needing puppy without complaint. They answered my multiple questions with enthusiasm. I 100% recommend! It was truly a pleasure doing business with this company. These guys are rare and this crew worked exceptionally well together.
