FAQs

What types of generators are available for residents and businesses in Benton?

We offer a variety of generators including portable, standby, and inverter models to suit different needs. Portable generators are ideal for temporary power backup during outages, while standby generators automatically power your home or business when the grid goes down. Inverter generators, known for their fuel efficiency and quiet operation, are great for sensitive electronics and camping trips.

How do I choose the right generator size and capacity for my needs?

The right generator size depends on your power requirements. For homes, assess the critical appliances and systems you want to keep running, such as heating, refrigeration, and lighting. Businesses typically need more power for equipment and operations. We recommend consulting with a licensed professional who can evaluate your energy load and recommend a generator with an appropriate wattage rating that meets local building codes in Benton.

What factors should I consider when installing a generator in Benton?

When installing a generator, consider location safety, proper ventilation, and clearance from buildings to avoid hazards. It’s also important to ensure that the installation complies with local zoning and electrical codes. Factors such as fuel type, noise restrictions, and maintenance access must be evaluated. Our experts can conduct an assessment to recommend the optimal placement and necessary safety protocols for your specific property.

Are there any maintenance tips to keep my generator running efficiently?

Yes, regular maintenance is key to ensuring reliability. We suggest performing periodic checks on oil levels, fuel quality, and air filters typically every 6 to 12 months depending on usage. Schedule annual service inspections, especially before the busy season for power outages. Keep the generator clean, inspect for wear and tear, and have it professionally serviced to prolong its lifespan and efficiency.

Can I install the generator myself, or is professional installation required?

While some portable generators can be set up by homeowners, it is highly recommended to have a professional handle the installation of standby generators. Professional installation ensures proper wiring, adherence to local codes, and safe operation. Our experienced technicians in Benton are prepared to install and test your generator, ensuring that it works correctly when you need it most.

What should I do in case of an emergency power outage?

In an emergency outage, first ensure your safety by following any public guidance. If you have a standby generator, it should automatically start up if properly maintained and installed. For portable generators, use them in a well-ventilated, safe area away from doors and windows to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Always have a plan in place, keep emergency supplies ready, and if you're unsure about the operation, call a professional for assistance.

What our customers say

Josh B was amazing. Effectively found my problem and got my power back on. My grandson will be happy that he will not be in the dark and have another mental episode. Thank you so much to the HEP team getting me in the service rotation with a hectic storm schedule.

Emily K.

HEP came promptly when we had loss of power due to storm damage. In fact, this is the 3rd time this has happened due to falling trees. HEP has been our go to electrical contractor each time because of their dependability, fairness, and quality of work. Zack did a great job. Very courteous. Hope to use him again soon for some other work.

Wayne M.

We have used HEP for various projects and repairs at our home in Knoxville over the last year and a half. Every single time they come out they are knowledgeable, honest, friendly, efficient and always get the work done to our satisfaction. I highly recommend them for everything from electrical to hot water heaters and plumbing to air conditioning install or heater repairs. They are never high pressure and always send an A+ team! Keep up the great work!!

Janie W.

Jordan, Brayden, and Kaleb just wrapped up the job at my place and I could not be more pleased. They were professional, kind, and went above and beyond. My wife and I are building a house in Bulls Gap, and needed to hook up a pressure pump. I didn't realize what all would be needed, but they nailed it. They installed a pressure tank under the house and finished all of the piping and fittings. Because we don't have electric for our pump house, they got my generator running and made sure everything worked as it should. I won't use anybody else going forward. Thank you, guys! Y'all are awesome!
