FAQs
What types of generators do you offer for homes and businesses in Dayton?
We supply a full line of standby, portable, and prime-power generators from 5 kW to 2 MW. For residential customers we typically recommend air-cooled standby units (10–26 kW) that run on natural gas or propane. Commercial and industrial clients can choose from liquid-cooled diesel or gaseous models, mobile towable units, and paralleled modular systems to meet higher kW demands.
How do I determine the correct generator size for my Dayton property?
Our technicians perform a free on-site load analysis, measuring the starting (surge) and running wattage of your critical circuits or entire facility. We also account for future load growth and fuel availability. From these data we create a load profile and match it to a generator with at least 20 % headroom, ensuring reliable performance even during peak demand and harsh Midwest winters.
Do you handle permits and installation, or do I need to hire other contractors?
We provide turnkey service. Our team secures all City of Dayton and Montgomery County electrical, mechanical, and gas permits, coordinates any required utility shut-offs, pours the concrete pad, installs the transfer switch and fuel lines, performs start-up testing, and submits the final inspection paperwork—so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors.
How often should my generator be serviced and what does maintenance include?
Standby generators should receive a preventive maintenance visit every 6 months or after 100 operating hours, whichever comes first. A standard service includes oil and filter change, coolant check, battery load test, fuel system inspection, software/firmware updates, and a full exercise under load. For high-use commercial units we offer quarterly or monthly PM programs.
Can I finance the purchase and installation of a generator?
Yes. We partner with national lenders to offer flexible financing plans, including 0 % APR promotional terms up to 18 months and extended loans up to 120 months. Commercial customers may also qualify for operating leases or Section 179 tax deductions. Our finance specialist can pre-qualify you in minutes without affecting your credit score.
How fast can you respond if my generator or power supply fails during an outage?
Our Dayton dispatch center is staffed 24/7 and our GPS-tracked service fleet targets a two-hour arrival window inside Montgomery, Greene, and Miami counties. We stock common parts on each truck and carry loaner portable generators, allowing most emergency repairs or temporary power restoration on the first visit.
