FAQs
Why should I invest in a modern standby generator for my Bean Station home or business?
A state-of-the-art standby generator automatically restores electricity within seconds of a utility outage, keeping lights, HVAC systems, refrigerators, medical devices, and critical business equipment running without interruption. In Bean Station, where severe thunderstorms and winter ice events can down power lines for hours or even days, a generator protects your family’s comfort and safety or prevents costly downtime for your company. Newer models are quieter, more fuel-efficient, and come with remote monitoring apps so you can check status and run tests from your phone.
How do I determine the correct generator size (kW rating) for my property?
Generator sizing starts with a load calculation. List every appliance or circuit you want powered during an outage—HVAC, well pump, freezer, computers, etc.—and note each item’s starting (surge) and running wattage. Add the highest simultaneous loads together, then apply a safety margin of 10-20 %. Residential properties in Bean Station commonly choose 14-26 kW units, while small businesses may need 30-60 kW or higher. Our technicians offer a complimentary on-site assessment and will create a detailed load sheet to ensure you neither under- nor over-size your investment.
What is involved in the installation process and do I need permits in Bean Station?
Installation typically takes one to two days and includes: (1) pouring a concrete or composite pad, (2) setting the generator, (3) running gas lines (natural gas or propane) sized to local code, (4) wiring the automatic transfer switch (ATS) to your main electrical panel, and (5) commissioning and testing the unit. The City of Bean Station and Grainger County require electrical and sometimes gas permits; inspections ensure everything meets the National Electrical Code and local ordinances. Our team handles all permit applications, coordinates utility marking, and schedules final inspections so you have a turnkey experience.
What routine maintenance does a generator require and can I do it myself?
Like a car engine, a generator needs regular oil, filter, and spark-plug changes to stay reliable. Manufacturers recommend service every 100-200 run hours or annually, whichever comes first. A typical tune-up includes: oil and filter change, air filter replacement, battery test, coolant check (liquid-cooled models), valve inspection, firmware updates, and a full system load test. While basic visual checks and weekly exercise cycles can be homeowner-performed, professional maintenance is advised to keep the warranty valid and catch issues early. We offer affordable maintenance plans with 24/7 emergency response throughout Bean Station.
What fuel options are available and which is best for Bean Station?
Most standby generators run on natural gas or liquid propane (LP). Natural gas is convenient if your property already has a metered supply—fuel never needs refilling. LP is ideal for rural Bean Station locations without gas lines; a 250-500-gallon tank can power a typical 20 kW unit for several days. Diesel generators are common in larger commercial or agricultural settings where high torque and long run times are priorities. We’ll assess your site, local utility availability, run-time requirements, and budget to recommend the optimal fuel type.
How much does a generator system cost and do you offer financing or service plans?
Pricing depends on capacity, fuel type, installation complexity, and accessories such as sound-attenuated enclosures or smart load-management modules. For most homes in Bean Station, turnkey installation of a premium 18-22 kW natural-gas generator ranges from $9,000 to $13,000. Commercial systems start around $15,000 and scale with kW. We partner with leading lenders to provide 0 % introductory APR or low-monthly-payment financing options, often requiring no money down. Extended warranties up to 10 years and service contracts that cover all preventive maintenance and remote monitoring are also available to protect your investment.
