FAQs

What types of generators are available?

Generators are typically categorized into portable generators, standby generators, and inverter generators. Portable generators are useful for temporary power needs and are relatively easy to transport. Standby generators are permanent installations that automatically provide power during an outage and are ideal for homes and businesses. Inverter generators are known for their fuel efficiency and quieter operation, making them suitable for camping and outdoor events.

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

To choose the right size generator, you need to calculate the total wattage of all the appliances and devices you plan to power. Add up the wattages and select a generator that can handle that total power output. Alternatively, consult with a professional to conduct a load assessment for accurate sizing, ensuring you have sufficient power for your essential needs without overloading the generator.

How often should I perform maintenance on my generator?

Generator maintenance should be performed regularly to ensure optimal performance. It's recommended to conduct a maintenance check every six months, or according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Regular tasks include checking the oil level, replacing air and fuel filters, inspecting connections, and performing a load test. Annual professional inspections are also advisable to address more complex issues.

Can I install a generator myself, or do I need a professional?

While portable generators can often be set up and operated by the owner, installing a standby generator is a more complex process that should be handled by a licensed professional. A proper installation involves electrical wiring, fuel supply connections, and possibly permits. A professional will ensure the generator is installed safely and in compliance with local codes and regulations.

What fuel options are available for generators?

Generators can run on various fuel types, including gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and propane. Portable generators typically use gasoline, while standby generators often run on natural gas or propane due to the constant fuel supply. Diesel generators are known for their fuel efficiency and longevity, making them suitable for longer-term power needs or more demanding applications.

What safety precautions should I take when using a generator?

When using a generator, always operate it outdoors in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never run a generator inside your home, garage, or basement. Keep it away from doors, windows, and vents to ensure exhaust fumes do not enter the building. Additionally, use high-quality extension cords rated for outdoor use, and never back-feed a generator into your home’s electrical system without a proper transfer switch installed by a professional.

We recently had some issues with our upstairs HVAC unit and it was not heating. We called HEP and they came out diagnosed the problem. Let us know how much it was going to cost to fix, as we only had to pay for the labor since the parts were still under warranty, and it really did not take that long to get the parts in. In. Justin , one of the HEP technicians, just left my residence with everything fixed and working. I must say it was a delightful experience as he was so respectful my home and let me know everything that he was doing in good old plain English. HEP should be proud to have a technician like Justin. He was personable and professional. I would highly recommend HEP for any of your plumbing, electrical or HVAC needs.

Corbin came to my house to provide an estimate for the replacement of my electric hot water heater. He called in advance and was here on time. Corbin is friendly, polite and very informative. I should say also that he is patient. Corbin answered all of my questions in detail. He educated me on the operation of the water heater including electrical, piping and water sediment. I highly recommend Corbin and HEP!!

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!
