FAQs
What types of energy-efficient generators do you install in Pikeville?
We offer a full line of high-efficiency standby and portable generators, including inverter, dual-fuel, and advanced diesel models from leading manufacturers such as Generac, Cummins, and Kohler. Each unit is engineered to deliver maximum power output while consuming less fuel and producing lower emissions than standard generators.
How much can I save on energy costs with a high-efficiency generator?
Savings vary by usage, but most customers report fuel consumption reductions of 15–30 %. Inverter and smart-load-managed generators run at variable speeds, so they burn only the fuel required for the current load, translating into lower operating costs over time—especially during extended outages.
Are there tax incentives or rebates for installing an energy-efficient generator in Pike County?
Yes. Kentucky’s Energy Independence Act and some federal programs provide tax credits of up to 10 % of the installed cost for qualifying ENERGY STAR® or Tier 4-compliant generators. Local utility AEP Kentucky Power also periodically offers time-limited rebates. We help customers file all necessary paperwork to maximize available incentives.
How does an inverter generator differ from a conventional generator?
Inverter generators convert raw AC power to DC and then back to clean, stable AC. This process allows the engine to run at variable RPM—adapting to the load—rather than full throttle all the time. The result is higher fuel efficiency, reduced noise, and safer power for sensitive electronics such as computers and medical equipment.
What maintenance is required to keep an energy-efficient generator running optimally?
Routine maintenance includes oil and filter changes every 100-150 hours of operation, annual spark-plug replacement, and periodic valve adjustments. Our Pikeville technicians provide scheduled service packages that also cover battery health checks, firmware updates for smart controls, and load-bank testing to ensure peak efficiency.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business in Pikeville?
Start by listing all critical appliances, HVAC units, and equipment you need to run during an outage. We perform a free on-site load assessment, measure real-time starting and running wattage, and factor in future expansion. This data lets us recommend a properly sized, energy-efficient generator that avoids both overloads and unnecessary fuel waste.
