FAQs

What is the basic function of an electrical generator?

An electrical generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a conductor moving through a magnetic field induces a flow of electric current. Generators are commonly used to provide backup power during outages, for industrial applications, and in remote areas without access to the power grid.

How do I determine the size of generator I need?

To determine the appropriate generator size, calculate the total wattage required by the devices and appliances you intend to power. Add up the wattage of all critical equipment, considering both running and starting watts. It's advisable to choose a generator with a capacity 20-25% higher than your total wattage needs to prevent overloading and ensure optimal performance.

What types of fuel can generators use?

Generators can run on various types of fuel, including gasoline, diesel, propane, and natural gas. Gasoline is common for portable generators, while diesel is often used for larger, industrial units due to efficiency and longevity. Propane and natural gas are popular for standby generators because they provide clean-burning and long-term fuel options without storage issues.

How often should a generator be serviced?

Service intervals for generators vary by manufacturer and usage conditions, but general guidelines suggest servicing every 6 to 12 months. Regular maintenance includes checking the oil and filters, inspecting the battery, testing the fuel system, and running the generator under load to ensure reliable operation. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific recommendations.

Can a generator be used indoors?

No, generators should never be used indoors or in enclosed spaces due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Generators must be operated outdoors in well-ventilated areas, at least 20 feet away from buildings, windows, and doors. Always ensure proper ventilation to prevent the buildup of dangerous fumes.

What are the key safety tips for using a generator?

Key safety tips for using a generator include: 1) Never operate a generator indoors or in enclosed spaces; 2) Keep the generator dry and protected from moisture; 3) Allow the generator to cool before refueling to prevent fire hazards; 4) Use appropriate extension cords rated for the generator’s power output; 5) Regularly inspect and maintain the generator according to the manufacturer’s guidelines; and 6) Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home to monitor air quality.

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 had a very old water heater that broke down. I called at 7:30 am and had a technician come out by 9:00 am to assess the problem. By that evening, we had a new water heater installed. There was an issue with an electrical short in the wiring, but another technician came by quickly to fix the problem. Mark Welch, Tommy, and Jennie were prompt, kind, and offered great service. We utilized the loyalty to program to save on our new water heater. I will definitely use HEP again in the future!

Hannah B.

We called Tuesday and got an appointment Wednesday morning to get several faucets repaired. Tommy arrived at my grandmother’s home early this morning and did such an amazing job of explaining and fixing the issues we were having. Now we have new faucets that are working perfectly! We also signed up for the loyalty membership so that we can get a free estimate for any plumbing or electrical issue. Thank you, Tommy, for your 5 star service and taking care of my grandmother.

Marisa W.

Our heating and air unit went out in the fall. We had a few different companies look at it. They were SO overpriced. We decided to call today and see what our options were. To say amazing is an understatement!! Eric Welch was here same day! He was professional, kind, and friendly. He was able to work it out to where we will have a new unit installed Friday! He said they could do it tomorrow, but because of the upcoming storm's, I asked He wait unti the next day. I didn't realize how any services they offered. We will be life long customer's. Next project will be whole home electrical, and without a doubt we will be using them. Best company around!
