FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in Flintville?
We work with a full range of standby and portable generators, including natural-gas, propane, diesel, and dual-fuel models from leading brands such as Generac, Kohler, and Cummins. Whether you need a whole-home standby unit, a commercial three-phase generator, or a smaller portable for job-site use, our technicians are factory-trained to size, install, and maintain the system correctly.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Proper sizing starts with an on-site load assessment. Our team will list the critical circuits or equipment you want powered during an outage, calculate starting and running wattage, and factor in future electrical needs. We then recommend a generator with enough capacity (kW) and an automatic transfer switch that matches your electrical panel. Correct sizing prevents overloads, improves fuel efficiency, and extends equipment life.
What is involved in a professional generator installation?
A turnkey installation includes permitting with Lincoln County, preparing a stable concrete or composite pad, routing fuel lines (natural gas or propane) to code, upgrading the electrical service if necessary, and wiring the automatic transfer switch. After mechanical and electrical connections are complete, we perform start-up testing, program exercise cycles, register the warranty, and provide homeowner or facility-staff training.
How often should my generator be serviced, and what does maintenance cover?
For standby units, we recommend semi-annual inspections and an annual full service. Maintenance includes oil and filter changes, coolant checks, spark-plug replacement, valve adjustment, battery testing, firmware updates, and a full load-bank test. Portable generators benefit from annual service or after every 100 hours of use. Regular maintenance ensures reliability, complies with manufacturer warranty requirements, and can double the life span of your equipment.
What are the typical costs associated with purchasing and installing a standby generator in Flintville?
Pricing depends on capacity, fuel type, and site conditions, but most residential standby systems range from $8,000 to $15,000 installed. This covers the generator unit, transfer switch, concrete pad, fuel connections, electrical work, permits, and start-up. Commercial projects can vary widely—from $20,000 for small offices to six figures for large facilities. We provide free, no-obligation quotes that detail each cost element.
Do you offer financing, warranties, or emergency service for generators?
Yes. We partner with local lenders to offer zero-down financing and flexible payment plans. All new generators include a 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranty, and we offer extended labor coverage for added peace of mind. Our 24/7 emergency response team is based right here in Flintville, so if your generator shows a fault code or fails to start, we can be on-site quickly to diagnose and repair the issue.
