FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in Church Hill?
We supply, install, and maintain a full range of generator systems, including residential standby generators (7 kW–26 kW), light-commercial units (30 kW–150 kW), and large industrial diesel or natural-gas generators up to 2 MW. We work with trusted brands such as Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and Briggs & Stratton, ensuring that we can match you with the right model for your power-output needs, fuel preference, and budget.
How do I determine the correct generator size for my home or business?
A proper load calculation is essential. During our free on-site assessment, a licensed electrician measures the running and start-up wattage of your critical appliances, HVAC units, lighting, and specialty equipment. We then factor in future expansion, seasonal load variations, and local code requirements. With this data we recommend a generator that provides at least 20 % headroom, ensuring reliable power without over-sizing, which saves you fuel and maintenance costs.
Do you handle permits and inspections for generator installations in Church Hill?
Yes. We provide turnkey service that includes securing electrical, plumbing, and, when needed, structural permits from the City of Church Hill and Hawkins County. Our team schedules all required inspections, including final electrical sign-off, and ensures the installation meets NEC, NFPA 110, and local zoning standards. You don’t have to manage any paperwork—the entire process is handled by our project coordinator.
How often should my standby generator be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
Most manufacturers recommend preventive maintenance every 6–12 months or after every 100–150 run hours. Our maintenance plans include oil and filter changes, coolant and fuel system checks, battery load testing, valve and belt inspection, software/firmware updates, and a full transfer-switch exercise. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected failures, preserves your warranty, and maximizes lifespan—often extending reliable service to 20+ years.
Can you integrate a generator with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) for seamless power?
Absolutely. We install both service-entrance-rated and non-service-rated ATS units ranging from 100 A to 4000 A. The ATS constantly monitors utility power and automatically transfers the load to the generator within seconds of an outage, then reverts once grid power stabilizes. For commercial clients we also offer bypass isolation ATS and paralleling switchgear for N+1 redundancy and load sharing.
What are the typical costs and financing options for a generator installation in Church Hill?
Residential standby systems, including equipment, labor, permits, and ATS, usually range from $7,000 to $13,000, while light-commercial projects average $15,000–$45,000 depending on load and fuel requirements. We partner with finance providers to offer 0 % promotional APR for up to 18 months or low-interest plans spread over 5–12 years. We also assist in claiming any available TVA or federal tax incentives for energy security upgrades.
