Why Install a Backup Generator?
A backup generator provides a reliable power source when the main grid goes down, ensuring key systems continue to operate. Here are some of the benefits of having a professionally installed generator at your home or business:
- Uninterrupted Power Supply: Keep lights, appliances, HVAC systems, and essential equipment running without interruption during blackouts or severe weather.
- Safety and Comfort: Generators support essential devices like refrigerators, medical equipment, and heating systems, preserving both comfort and safety.
- Prevent Business Disruptions: For business owners, a generator ensures that operations continue smoothly, minimizing revenue loss and maintaining service levels.
- Enhanced Property Value: A backup generator is a valuable feature for any property, adding appeal and security for potential buyers or tenants.
With the increase in extreme weather events and grid demands, a generator is an investment in safety, reliability, and comfort for your home or business.
Types of Generators We Install
Choosing the right generator depends on your property’s power needs, space, and preferences. Here’s an overview of the types of generators we install
Portable generators are versatile, smaller units that can be manually connected to specific appliances or circuits. They’re ideal for short-term outages but require manual setup.
Standby generators are permanently installed outside your property and automatically activate when the power goes out. They’re connected to your electrical panel and fuel source (natural gas or propane) for a seamless and immediate power solution.
Inverter generators offer quiet, efficient power, making them suitable for residential areas with limited space. They can be either portable or fixed and work well for sensitive electronics due to their stable power output.
Our team atielectrician provides guidance on selecting the best generator type based on your budget, property size, and power requirements.
Our Generator Installation Process
1. Initial Consultation and Power Needs Assessment
Understanding Your Unique Power Needs
The installation process begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our electricians assess your power needs, space, and budget. For residential properties, we consider critical systems like lighting, refrigeration, and HVAC. For businesses, we evaluate essential operations, such as POS systems, security, and any specialized equipment. Based on this assessment, we help you choose a generator size and type that meets your needs without overloading your electrical system.
2. Site Selection and Preparation
Choosing the Right Location for Your Generator
Once you’ve selected a generator, we determine the ideal location for installation. We ensure the generator is placed in a safe, accessible area that meets local codes and manufacturer guidelines, allowing for proper ventilation, noise reduction, and safe fueling. For standby generators, we take care to secure the generator outside your home or business in a location that minimizes disruption while providing easy access for maintenance.
3. Electrical Panel Connection and Transfer Switch Installation
Ensuring Seamless Operation During Outages
A key component of generator installation is the connection to your electrical panel and the installation of a transfer switch. The transfer switch allows your generator to seamlessly power your home or business when the grid goes down, without the need for manual setup. Our licensed electricians handle all wiring and connections to ensure that your system operates smoothly and safely, protecting both your generator and your property’s electrical system.
4. Fuel Connection and Setup
Securing a Safe and Reliable Fuel Source
Generators require a reliable fuel source, typically natural gas, propane, or diesel. Our team ensures safe connections to your chosen fuel source, whether it’s an existing gas line or a newly installed propane tank. For standby generators, we coordinate with fuel providers as needed to ensure uninterrupted power during outages.
5. Testing and Final Inspection
Verifying Performance and Safety
After installation, we perform rigorous testing to ensure your generator is functioning as expected. This includes running the generator, testing the transfer switch, and checking for any irregularities in power distribution. Our team also walks you through the operation of the generator, including maintenance tips, safety guidelines, and any unique features of your model.
