FAQs
What types of generators do you offer for residential and commercial customers in Crab Orchard?
We supply a full range of generators, including portable units (2–12 kW), standby residential systems (10–26 kW), and three-phase commercial models up to 500 kW. All models are available in gasoline, diesel, natural-gas, or dual-fuel configurations so you can select the power source that best fits your application and local fuel availability.
How do I determine the right generator size for my property?
Correct sizing is crucial for reliable performance. We perform a free on-site load analysis, measuring the starting and running wattage of your essential circuits (HVAC, well pump, refrigeration, medical devices, etc.). For commercial clients, we also review peak demand data from your utility bills. Using these figures, we match you with a generator that maintains at least a 20 % reserve capacity, ensuring it never runs at 100 % load and prolonging engine life.
Do you handle permitting and installation in Crab Orchard?
Yes. Our licensed electricians obtain all local and state permits, coordinate inspections with Cumberland County codes officials, and install the generator, transfer switch, and fuel connections to meet NEC and NFPA standards. Typical residential installations are completed in one day; larger commercial systems may take 2–4 days, including concrete pad work and final commissioning.
What maintenance is required to keep my generator reliable?
Every generator needs periodic service: oil and filter changes every 100–150 hours or annually, spark-plug replacement every two years (for gas units), battery load testing, coolant checks on liquid-cooled engines, and transfer-switch exercise tests. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include remote monitoring, automatic service reminders, and 24/7 priority repair dispatch in Crab Orchard and surrounding communities.
How loud are the generators, and can noise be reduced?
Modern standby generators range from 60–70 dB(A) at 23 ft—about the level of a normal conversation. Commercial diesel units can be louder, but we provide Level 2 and Level 3 acoustic enclosures, hospital-grade mufflers, and flexible exhaust piping to meet local noise ordinances. During the site survey, we’ll recommend placement and sound-attenuation options to minimize disturbance to neighbors.
What warranties and service guarantees do you provide?
All new generators include a manufacturer’s warranty—five years for most residential models and two to five years (or 2,000 hours) for commercial units. We supplement this with a one-year labor warranty covering installation-related issues at no extra cost. Optional extended coverage up to 10 years is available. Our Crab Orchard technicians are factory-trained, and we stock common parts locally, so most repairs are completed within 24 hours.
