Whole-House Standby Generator Installation
We install complete residential standby generator systems for homeowners who want to prepare for emergencies and unexpected power outages. A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and, with an automatic transfer system, provides backup power when utility service is interrupted.
A properly sized whole-house system can supply power throughout your home. Other standby setups serve selected circuits. We can discuss which appliances and systems you want to keep running and help identify a generator suited to those needs.
Our team completes the electrical connections and related work required for your installation.
Portable Generator Connections
A portable generator offers backup power using equipment that can be moved and stored when it is not needed. Unlike an automatic standby system, a typical portable setup requires you to bring the equipment into use and start it when an outage occurs.
We can discuss your portable generator options and the electrical connections needed to supply selected circuits in your home. Our team can review your existing electrical system and determine the appropriate transfer equipment for the setup.
Manual & Automatic Backup Power
How your home switches to generator power depends on the equipment installed.
- Automatic operation: An automatic transfer system detects a utility outage and transfers the connected circuits to generator power once the standby generator is ready.
- Manual operation: A manual setup requires you to start the generator and operate the transfer equipment when backup power is needed.
We can explain the available choices and plan the electrical installation around the generator system selected for your home.
Standby Panels & Electrical Connections
A residential backup power system involves more than selecting a generator. The electrical components that connect it with your home are also an important part of planning the installation.
Our generator services include adding standby panels and completing the wiring and connections needed for new installations. We can review your existing electrical system, discuss what you want to keep powered, and determine the work required.
If changes to your existing electrical panel are needed, we can address those as part of the project.
