FAQs
What types of generators do you offer in Deer Lodge?
We stock a full range of state-of-the-art generators, including portable inverter units (1–7 kW), residential standby systems (10–26 kW), and commercial/industrial diesel and natural-gas sets that scale up to 500 kW and beyond. All models feature advanced digital voltage regulation, automatic transfer switch compatibility, and remote monitoring, so you can choose the exact level of power, fuel type, and technology that fits your application in Deer Lodge.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Start by listing the appliances, HVAC equipment, or production machinery you need to run during an outage, then total their starting (surge) and running wattage. As a rule of thumb, add a 20 % safety buffer for unforeseen loads. Our technicians offer free on-site assessments in Deer Lodge to perform exact load calculations, evaluate service-panel capacity, and recommend the most efficient model. This prevents under-sizing, which can damage equipment, or over-sizing, which raises fuel and purchase costs unnecessarily.
Are your generators compliant with Montana codes, and can you handle permits and installation in Deer Lodge?
Yes. All of our units carry UL and CSA listings and meet the latest EPA Tier 4 and Montana DEQ emission requirements. Our master-licensed electricians secure all county and city permits, coordinate with NorthWestern Energy for utility approval, pour code-compliant concrete pads, install gas or diesel fuel lines, and complete the final electrical tie-in and ATS setup—ensuring your system passes Deer Lodge inspections the first time.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
Standby generators need an annual oil and filter change, spark-plug inspection, battery load test, coolant level check (for liquid-cooled models), and firmware updates for the control module. Portable units require similar service every 100 operating hours. We offer tiered maintenance contracts—Basic, Plus, and Premium—that include scheduled visits, 24/7 remote monitoring, priority emergency dispatch, and discounted parts, keeping your generator at peak readiness throughout Deer Lodge’s harsh winters.
How loud are your generators, and do they include noise-reduction features?
Our residential and commercial standby lines use low-RPM engines, acoustic dampening enclosures, and hospital-grade mufflers to keep sound levels between 60–67 dB(A) at 23 ft—quieter than a normal conversation. Portable inverter models run even lower, at 52–58 dB(A). For sensitive locations near Deer Lodge’s historic district, we offer additional sound-attenuating kits and landscape sound barriers to comply with local noise ordinances.
What warranty and local support do you provide?
Every new generator comes with a 5-year limited manufacturer’s warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. We are the authorized service center for Powell County, maintaining a stocked parts warehouse in Deer Lodge and a fleet of GPS-equipped service trucks. In most cases we can dispatch a certified technician within 4 hours of your call, ensuring minimal downtime and complete peace of mind.
