FAQs
What types of generators do you offer for homes and businesses in Coalmont?
We supply and install a full range of dependable generators, including portable units (2–10 kW), residential air-cooled standby models (10–26 kW), and heavy-duty liquid-cooled commercial sets (30 kW up to 500 kW+). Each product line is UL-listed, backed by manufacturers such as Generac and Kohler, and is pre-configured to handle Coalmont’s wide temperature swings and occasional severe storms.
How do I determine the correct size generator for my property?
The right size is based on your peak electrical load. Our technicians perform a free on-site assessment using an amperage meter and load-calculation software to measure starting and running wattage for HVAC, well pumps, refrigerators, medical equipment, IT servers, and other essentials. From there we recommend a generator with at least a 20 % capacity buffer to ensure reliability during load spikes and future expansions.
What permits or inspections are required in Coalmont before installation?
Coalmont follows Grundy County’s electrical code, which references the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC). A building/electrical permit is mandatory for any permanent standby generator. After installation, a county electrical inspector must verify the automatic transfer switch wiring, clearance distances (minimum 5 ft from openings), and bonding to the service entrance. We handle all paperwork, schedule inspections, and provide you with a signed approval certificate before activation.
How often does my generator need maintenance, and do you offer service plans?
Standby units should receive preventive maintenance every 6–12 months or after 200 operating hours—whichever comes first. Key tasks include oil and filter changes, battery load tests, spark-plug inspection, coolant level checks (liquid-cooled models), and a full automatic transfer switch exercise. We offer Bronze, Silver, and Gold service plans that include priority 24/7 emergency dispatch, remote monitoring, and discounted parts. Portable units typically need service every 100 hours of use.
Which fuel options are available and which is best for Coalmont’s climate?
Our generators run on natural gas, propane (LP), or diesel. Natural gas is the most convenient if your property is on Coalmont’s municipal gas line, as it offers unlimited runtime and low maintenance. Propane is popular for rural homes; we size tanks from 250 to 1,000 gallons to give 3–7 days of autonomous operation. Diesel delivers the highest power density for commercial sites but requires cold-weather additives in winter. During the site visit we’ll review your fuel access, runtime needs, and environmental considerations to recommend the ideal option.
Are the generators noisy, and do they meet local sound or emission regulations?
Modern residential standby generators operate at 60–67 dB(A) from 23 ft—roughly the volume of a normal conversation—thanks to composite enclosures and low-speed engines. Commercial diesel sets come with Level 2 or Level 3 acoustic housings that meet Tennessee’s state limit of 70 dB(A) at the property line for industrial zones. All models are EPA Tier IV-compliant for emissions, and we can add hospital-grade mufflers or custom fencing if your HOA has stricter requirements.
