FAQs
What types of generators do you offer for homes and businesses in Flintville?
We supply and install a full range of generators, including portable units for occasional use, whole-house standby systems for residential properties, and three-phase diesel or natural-gas generators for commercial and agricultural operations. Major brands such as Generac, Kohler, and Cummins are kept in stock so we can match fuel type (natural gas, propane, or diesel), output capacity, and control features to your exact needs.
How do I know what size generator I need?
Proper sizing is critical, so our licensed electricians perform a free on-site load analysis. We list every circuit or piece of equipment you want powered during an outage, calculate the starting (surge) and running wattage, and add a 10–15 % margin for future growth. The resulting figure tells us the minimum kilowatt (kW) rating required to keep your home or facility running safely and efficiently.
Do you handle the entire generator installation process, including permits?
Yes. We provide a turnkey service that covers the site survey, concrete pad or mounting platform, fuel line routing, electrical conduit, automatic transfer switch installation, and final system testing. Our team secures all necessary Flintville/Lincoln County permits, schedules utility disconnects, and arranges the final inspection so you have a single point of contact from start to finish.
How often should my standby generator be serviced?
Most manufacturers call for preventive maintenance every 200 operating hours or once a year—whichever comes first. A standard visit includes an oil and filter change, spark-plug replacement, battery load test, air-filter inspection, transfer-switch exercise, and a full diagnostic scan of the control panel. We also recommend allowing the unit to run its automatic weekly self-test and keeping the enclosure free of dirt and debris.
What happens during a power outage—will my generator turn on automatically?
If your system is paired with an automatic transfer switch (ATS), it continuously monitors utility voltage. When the line voltage drops below a safe threshold, the ATS signals the generator to start, typically within 10 seconds. The switch then transfers your load from the grid to generator power. Once the utility feed stabilizes, the ATS reverses the process and the generator cools down and shuts off automatically.
Are financing or maintenance plans available for generator purchases?
Absolutely. We partner with local and national lenders to offer low-interest and no-interest financing options to qualified Flintville customers, often with terms ranging from 6 to 60 months. For ongoing care, our Silver, Gold, and Platinum maintenance agreements include semi-annual inspections, priority emergency service, and discounts on parts, ensuring your investment stays reliable for decades.
