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.

Aux Home Service is a fantastic company! We had the main water line break leading to our house. Cody Stone (who is an outstanding young man) responded almost immediately. The Aux team (Jeff Noland, Kevin Crowley and others with Cody Stone) turned off the water and spent the next three days removing rock and dirt to get us a new line. They even had to deal with the unexpected issue of the city of Vestavia sending us extremely high water pressure! They worked very hard and fixed our issues for the long term. I am very impressed and would recommend them to anyone. Sweetest conclusion, they sent us cookies a week later! Aux is worth every penny.

From the first phone call to the final check out, everything was seamless. The technician arrived on time, explained the issue clearly and was honest about what needed to be done. He was helpful, efficient and got my air conditioning repaired quickly. I appreciated the reliable and professional service and the price was fair. I will definitely call Aux Home Services again for any HVAC services.

Service man (Christian Wade) was here for a regular HVAC check up covered by our AUX membership. He was courteous and efficient. After completing the check up, he gave us a quote for duct cleaning and replacing the intake register. We accepted the quote and paid 50% down. The date of the work is yet to be determined.

Adam Alexander has by far been the best technician we have experienced. He found things that previous techs overlooked. He did everything he could to satisfy us. He allowed me to watch while he worked. He even took time to explain what he was doing so that I understood everything. I will be requesting him from now on.
