Frequently Asked Questions

What type of home generator is best for my home?
The right generator depends on your backup power needs, home size, budget, and which appliances or circuits you want to keep running. Our electricians can help determine whether a standby generator or portable generator connection makes the most sense.
How does an automatic standby generator work?
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected through a transfer switch. When utility power is lost, the system can automatically start and provide backup power to designated circuits or your home, depending on the system design.
What is a generator transfer switch?
A transfer switch safely transfers your home’s electrical load from utility power to generator power while preventing the two power sources from operating on the home’s wiring at the same time.
Can a generator power my entire home?
Yes, certain properly sized standby generator systems can provide whole-home backup power. Other systems may be designed to power only essential circuits such as refrigeration, lighting, HVAC equipment, and other important loads.
Can I connect a portable generator to my home's electrical system?
Yes, but it should be done through properly installed generator inlet and transfer equipment. A portable generator should never be connected to your home’s electrical system through an unsafe method such as backfeeding through an outlet.
How do you determine what size generator I need?
Generator sizing is based on the electrical loads you want to power during an outage. We evaluate your home’s electrical needs and the equipment you want backed up to help determine the appropriate generator capacity.
Where is a standby generator installed?
Standby generators are installed outdoors on an appropriate base and must meet manufacturer requirements and applicable electrical, fuel, clearance, and local code requirements.
Do home generators require maintenance?
Yes. Routine maintenance helps ensure your generator is ready when an outage occurs. Maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer and system.
How long does home generator installation take?
Installation time varies depending on the generator, electrical work, fuel connection, permitting, site conditions, and other requirements. We’ll review the installation process with you before work begins.
