FAQs

What types of generators are available for residential and commercial use in Louisville?

In Louisville, we offer a wide range of generators suitable for both residential and commercial use. These include portable generators, standby generators, and inverter generators. Portable generators are suitable for temporary power needs, standby generators provide automatic backup power during outages, and inverter generators are ideal for sensitive electronics and maintaining clean power.

How do I determine the right size generator for my needs?

To determine the right size generator, you need to calculate the total wattage of the essential appliances and systems you want to power during an outage. This includes refrigerators, HVAC systems, lighting, and any other critical devices. It's recommended to consult with a professional who can perform a load analysis to ensure you select a generator with the appropriate capacity.

How often should I maintain my generator?

Maintenance frequency depends on the type of generator you have. Generally, it's advisable to perform maintenance every 6 months to a year. This includes checking the oil level, changing the oil and filter, inspecting the spark plug, and testing the battery. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations and consider scheduling regular maintenance with a professional service provider to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

What should I do if my generator doesn't start?

If your generator doesn't start, first check the fuel level, spark plug, and battery connections. Ensure that the generator is properly grounded and that the fuel is fresh. If these initial checks don't resolve the issue, consult the owner's manual for troubleshooting tips or contact a professional technician for a thorough inspection and repair.

Are there any local regulations I should be aware of when installing a generator in Louisville?

Yes, there are local regulations and permitting requirements when installing a generator in Louisville. These regulations may include zoning laws, noise ordinances, and safety standards. It's important to check with the local building department and obtain any necessary permits before installation. Hiring a licensed and experienced installer can help ensure compliance with all local codes and regulations.

Can a backup generator increase the value of my home?

Installing a backup generator can potentially increase the value of your home by providing a reliable power source during outages, which is especially valuable in areas prone to power disruptions. A backup generator can also offer peace of mind to potential buyers, making your property more attractive in the real estate market. Additionally, homes with backup generators typically experience less disruption during emergencies, which can be a significant selling point.

What our customers say

Jordan, Brayden, and Kaleb just wrapped up the job at my place and I could not be more pleased. They were professional, kind, and went above and beyond. My wife and I are building a house in Bulls Gap, and needed to hook up a pressure pump. I didn't realize what all would be needed, but they nailed it. They installed a pressure tank under the house and finished all of the piping and fittings. Because we don't have electric for our pump house, they got my generator running and made sure everything worked as it should. I won't use anybody else going forward. Thank you, guys! Y'all are awesome!

Jessie the Electrician and David the plumber were amazing. David went out of his way to try and help me fix my problem. When there was no solution other than a new countertop he made sure I was taken care of. Chris came out and quickly helped me so that I can begin using my kitchen again.
