FAQs
Why should I invest in a home standby generator?
A home standby generator ensures continuous power for your essential appliances and systems during outages. This means you can maintain comfort, security, and productivity regardless of weather conditions or utility disruptions. Additionally, a standby generator helps preserve perishable items like food, prevents potential water damage from sump pump failure, and provides peace of mind knowing you’re prepared for unexpected power loss.
How do I choose the right size generator for my home?
Proper generator sizing depends on the power demands of your home and the number of circuits you want to keep active during an outage. A professional assessment considers factors like HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, medical equipment, and entertainment. After calculating the total wattage needed, our team recommends a generator size that can handle peak demands without overloading.
What is the installation process for a standby generator?
The installation process includes a site visit to determine the ideal location for the generator and transfer switch. Our technicians then set up the concrete or composite pad, connect the generator to your home’s electrical system, and ensure proper ventilation for safe operation. Once it’s installed, we complete a thorough test to confirm everything works correctly. From start to finish, our team handles all permits and complies with local codes.
How often should I service and maintain my generator?
Maintenance varies depending on usage, but generally, schedule a professional service at least once a year or after heavy use. Regular inspection includes oil and filter changes, spark plug checks, fuel line inspection, and system testing. Proper maintenance helps ensure reliable operation and extends the lifespan of your standby generator.
Are there any safety considerations for standby generators?
Yes, safety is vital. Generators produce carbon monoxide, so it’s essential to install them in a well-ventilated, outdoor space, typically on a concrete pad or approved surface. Also, a transfer switch must be correctly installed to prevent backfeeding, which protects utility workers during outages. Following installation guidelines and scheduling regular maintenance mitigates common safety risks.
Why should I hire professionals for generator installation and maintenance?
Professional electricians have the expertise to select the correct size, safely install the transfer switch, and connect the generator in compliance with local codes. Proper installation also helps minimize the chance of malfunctioning or voiding warranties. With expert maintenance, you’ll help ensure your generator runs efficiently and is ready whenever you need it most.
