FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in Beersheba Springs?
We work with a wide range of generator technologies to meet residential, commercial, and light-industrial needs in the Beersheba Springs area. Our team installs and services air-cooled and liquid-cooled standby generators (typically 7 kW to 150 kW), portable gasoline and diesel units, PTO-driven farm generators, and natural-gas/LP emergency backup systems. We are certified dealers for leading brands such as Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Cummins, which means we can supply genuine parts, activate factory warranties, and handle warranty repairs locally.
How do I determine the correct generator size for my home or business?
Proper sizing starts with a load analysis. During a complimentary site visit, our licensed electrician tallies the wattage of critical circuits, HVAC systems, well pumps, and any sensitive electronics. We then apply National Electrical Code (NEC) demand-factor formulas and account for motor starting surges to recommend a generator rated for at least 20 % more than your calculated peak load. This prevents overload, extends generator life, and ensures you can expand in the future. We also evaluate fuel availability (LP, natural gas, diesel) and required run time to refine the recommendation.
How often should my standby generator be serviced?
Most manufacturers call for semi-annual maintenance, which includes oil and filter change, spark-plug replacement, battery inspection, coolant check (for liquid-cooled models), air-filter cleaning, and a full system test under load. Our Beersheba Springs Service Plan schedules these visits automatically and provides 24/7 remote monitoring. Portable generators should have oil changed every 50-100 hours of use and be run under load for at least 20 minutes each month to keep the carburetor clean.
Can a standby generator power my entire house during an outage?
Yes, provided it is sized correctly and paired with a whole-house transfer switch. Many homeowners choose a 22–26 kW air-cooled unit or a 30–38 kW liquid-cooled unit to handle all circuits, including HVAC and electric cooking. However, some customers prefer a smaller generator (e.g., 14 kW) with a load-shedding switch that prioritizes essentials such as refrigeration, lighting, Wi-Fi, and sump pumps. We will walk you through both options so you can balance cost, fuel consumption, and comfort.
How long does a typical generator installation take in Beersheba Springs?
Once you approve the proposal, most residential standby installations are completed in 1–2 days: Day 1 for concrete pad placement and electrical prep, Day 2 for setting the generator, running gas lines, and performing final start-up testing. Commercial systems up to 150 kW usually take 3–5 days due to heavier wiring and transfer-switch integration. Lead time to schedule the job is usually 2–3 weeks, but we keep popular generator models in stock for faster turnaround during storm season.
Do I need permits or utility approval before installing a generator?
Yes. Grundy County and the City of Beersheba Springs require an electrical permit for permanent standby generators, and the local gas supplier must inspect new LP or natural-gas connections. If your unit interconnects with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) lines, we also file a utility notification to ensure proper transfer-switch operation. Our staff handles all permit paperwork and coordinates inspections, so you have no administrative headaches.
