FAQs
What types of state-of-the-art generators do you offer in Rutledge?
We carry a full range of next-generation generators, including high-efficiency standby units (10 kW – 150 kW), portable inverter models for recreational use, and industrial diesel or natural-gas systems up to 2 MW. All models feature digital voltage regulation, remote monitoring via smartphone app, and low-emission engines that meet the latest EPA Tier 4/Flex standards.
How are today’s smart generators different from older traditional units?
Modern generators integrate microprocessor-based controllers, variable-speed technology, and hybrid lithium-ion starter batteries. This results in quicker start-up (under 10 seconds), tighter voltage/frequency control (±1 %), up to 25 % fuel savings, and dramatically lower noise—some home units operate at 57 dB(A), comparable to a conversation. In addition, Wi-Fi or LTE connectivity lets you check status, schedule tests, and receive maintenance alerts from anywhere.
How do I size the right generator for my Rutledge home or business?
Start by listing critical loads—HVAC, well pump, medical devices, servers, etc.—and their running watts. Our technicians perform a complimentary on-site load analysis, calculate starting surges, and factor in future expansions. For homes, a 14–22 kW air-cooled unit usually covers essentials plus a central AC. Commercial facilities may require a 60 kW or larger liquid-cooled system. We also check Grainger County electrical codes and TVA requirements to ensure compliance.
What happens during installation and how long does it take?
After permitting (typically 3–5 business days with the City of Rutledge), our licensed electricians pour a concrete pad, set the generator, run gas/electrical lines, and install an automatic transfer switch. Most residential jobs finish in one day; commercial projects range from two days to a week depending on complexity. A final load-bank test verifies performance, and you receive a walk-through on operation and remote-monitoring setup.
Are the generators quiet and environmentally friendly enough for Rutledge neighborhoods?
Yes. All units use advanced muffler designs and composite enclosures to keep sound levels below local ordinance limits (65 dB(A) at the property line during exercise cycles). Tier 4 diesel engines and catalyst-equipped natural-gas models cut NOx and particulate emissions by up to 90 % compared with older gensets, meeting both Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation guidelines and federal EPA standards.
What maintenance, warranty, and support do you provide?
We include a 5-year/2,000-hour factory warranty covering parts and labor, extendable to 10 years. First-year maintenance—oil, filters, coolant, and firmware updates—is free. After that, our Guardian Service Plan offers semi-annual inspections, remote health monitoring, and 24/7 emergency dispatch from our Rutledge service center. Annual costs are about the same as a single HVAC tune-up and help prevent unexpected downtime.
