FAQs
What types of advanced generators do you install in Flintville?
We supply and install a full range of advanced generators, including whole-home standby units (10–48 kW), three-phase commercial systems up to 1 MW, and scalable micro-grid packages that pair generators with solar and battery storage. Brands we commonly specify include Generac, Cummins, Kohler, and Caterpillar. All models feature electronic voltage regulation, low-THD alternators that are safe for sensitive electronics, and smart controllers that allow remote monitoring from your phone or desktop.
How do I determine the correct size generator for my property?
Proper sizing starts with a load analysis. Our technicians list every critical circuit (HVAC, well pump, medical equipment, servers, etc.) and measure starting (surge) and running wattages. We then apply National Electrical Code (NEC 702) demand-factor guidelines and add 20 % headroom for future loads. For most Flintville homes a 22 kW air-cooled unit is sufficient, while small businesses often need 60–150 kW liquid-cooled sets. Oversizing costs more upfront and wastes fuel, whereas undersizing risks nuisance trips, so a professional load calculation is essential.
Do I need permits or inspections to install a standby generator in Flintville?
Yes. Lincoln County requires an electrical permit and, for units over 15 kW or tied to propane/natural-gas lines, a mechanical/gas permit as well. After installation our licensed electricians schedule a final inspection with the county electrical inspector to verify grounding, conductor sizing, transfer-switch wiring, and set-back distances. If you live inside the Flintville urban growth boundary, zoning approval for placement (typically 3 ft from combustible walls and 5 ft from openings) may also be required. We handle all paperwork and inspection scheduling for you.
What fuel options are available locally and how efficient are today’s generators?
Most residential and light commercial customers in Flintville use propane or natural gas because the fuel is already onsite. A modern 22 kW propane generator burns about 2.1 gal/hr at 50 % load, translating to roughly $6 per hour at current prices. Diesel is favored for larger commercial sets due to its high energy density and storage stability; a 150 kW Tier-4 diesel unit consumes about 10 gal/hr at 75 % load. We also offer bi-fuel (diesel + natural gas) and completely natural-gas solutions for facilities that need extended runtimes without refueling.
What maintenance does a generator require and how often?
Routine service ensures reliability and protects your warranty. For air-cooled units we perform semi-annual visits that include oil and filter changes, spark-plug inspection, valve adjustment, battery load testing, firmware updates, and a 20-minute full-load run. Liquid-cooled and diesel sets require quarterly inspections with annual coolant and fuel-filter changes plus a load-bank test to prevent wet-stacking. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include 24/7 remote monitoring and automatic fault alerts to our dispatch center.
How quickly can you respond during a power outage and do you offer remote monitoring?
Our monitoring portal pings your generator every 60 seconds. If a fault occurs, our on-call technician in Flintville receives a text and email within two minutes. For critical facilities such as pharmacies and data rooms, we guarantee a four-hour on-site response; residential customers typically see us within the same business day. Remote monitoring also tracks exercise cycles, fuel levels (with optional sensors), battery health, and ambient temperature, allowing many issues to be corrected before an outage ever occurs.
