FAQs
Why should I install a standby generator for my Church Hill home or business?
A standby generator automatically restores power within seconds of an outage, protecting critical appliances, HVAC systems, security equipment, and data. In Church Hill, where seasonal storms and grid interruptions can occur, a professionally installed generator ensures comfort, safety, and business continuity without the hassle of portable units or refueling during severe weather.
How do you determine the right generator size for my property?
Our licensed electricians perform a detailed load analysis, listing every circuit or appliance you want powered during an outage and calculating their starting (surge) and running wattage. We also consider future expansion, fuel type, and local code requirements. The result is a customized recommendation—usually in kilowatts (kW)—that balances reliable capacity with energy efficiency, avoiding over-sizing or under-sizing issues.
What permits and inspections are required for generator installation in Church Hill?
The City of Church Hill and Hawkins County require an electrical permit for any permanent generator installation. Depending on fuel source, a plumbing or mechanical permit may also be needed for gas line work. Our team handles the entire permitting process, schedules utility markings, and coordinates mandatory inspections to confirm the generator meets National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 37/70, and local zoning setbacks.
How long does a typical whole-house generator installation take?
Once permits are approved and the generator is on site, most residential installations take one to two days: Day 1 covers pad placement, electrical conduit, transfer switch mounting, and initial wiring; Day 2 involves fuel line hookup, system testing, and final inspection. Commercial projects or complex load-shedding systems may take three to five days. We provide a precise timeline after the on-site assessment.
What maintenance does my new generator require?
Standby generators need semi-annual or annual maintenance, similar to a vehicle. Key tasks include oil and filter changes, spark plug replacement, battery inspection, coolant level checks (for liquid-cooled units), and software/firmware updates for the controller. Our Church Hill maintenance plans include scheduled service, remote monitoring options, and 24/7 emergency support to maximize reliability and warranty compliance.
What warranties and post-installation support do you offer?
We install leading brands like Generac, Kohler, and Cummins, all of which come with a 5-year limited manufacturer’s warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. Extended 7- or 10-year coverage is available. Our workmanship is guaranteed for one year, and our local technicians provide 24-hour emergency service, priority parts availability, and complimentary first-year maintenance to ensure you’re never left in the dark.
