FAQs

What are the different types of electrical generators available?

There are several types of electrical generators available, including portable, standby, inverter, and industrial generators. Portable generators are small and mobile, suitable for temporary power needs. Standby generators are permanently installed and provide automatic backup power during an outage. Inverter generators are known for their fuel efficiency and stable power output, making them ideal for sensitive electronics. Industrial generators are large and robust, designed to provide continuous power for large operations and industrial applications.

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

To determine the right size generator, you need to calculate your total power requirements. List all the appliances and devices you want to power, along with their wattage ratings. Add up the total wattage and choose a generator that can handle this load plus a margin for future expansion or additional devices. You can also consult with a professional to help you assess your power needs accurately and choose a generator with the appropriate capacity.

What maintenance is required for electrical generators?

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring your generator operates efficiently and reliably. Key maintenance tasks include checking and changing the oil, replacing air and fuel filters, inspecting spark plugs, testing the battery, and running the generator periodically to keep it in good working order. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and guidelines. In addition, professional servicing at regular intervals will help prolong the life of your generator and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

How do I safely operate an electrical generator?

Safety is paramount when operating an electrical generator. Follow these key safety tips: ensure the generator is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide buildup, never operate the generator indoors or in enclosed spaces, keep the generator dry to avoid electrical hazards, and avoid overloading the generator by only connecting essential devices. Always use heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cords and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines. Using a transfer switch can also enhance safety by properly distributing power to your home’s electrical system.

Can I connect my generator directly to my home’s electrical system?

Connecting a generator directly to your home’s electrical system without a proper transfer switch can be dangerous and illegal in many areas. A transfer switch allows you to safely and efficiently connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel. It isolates the generator power from utility lines to prevent backfeeding, which can be hazardous to utility workers and others. It's essential to have a qualified electrician install the transfer switch and ensure the connection meets all local codes and regulations.

What should I do if my generator stops working?

If your generator stops working, first check the basics like fuel levels, oil levels, and any clear obstructions. Ensure the safety features and circuit breakers are not triggered. If the issue persists, consult the troubleshooting section of your generator's manual for specific guidance. If you're unable to resolve the problem, it’s recommended to contact a professional technician for diagnosis and repair. Regular maintenance can often prevent such issues, so ensure your generator is serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule.

Robert Christian was the tech guy that came out to see what was going on with our AC unit. He was very polite, right on time, super helpful and offered great service and advice. Robert Camp and his partner were referred to come by and give me an estimate for electrical services. They were so nice and friendly. I had a great time dealing with them and getting a little better understanding about the project from them as well.

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.

After having a new hvac system installed yesterday, a quality check was done today by Justin Weld. Not only did he make sure everything was done correctly, but he also fixed the breaker to the furnace that kept tripping (we only noticed it after the installers had already left). Justin was very professional, extremely helpful, and thorough when it came to making sure everything was working properly before he left. Huge thank you to him!!

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.
