FAQs
What types of generators do you supply and install in Elora?
We offer a full range of standby and portable generators, including natural-gas, propane, diesel, and dual-fuel units from industry-leading manufacturers such as Generac, Cummins, and Kohler. Our team helps you choose the right capacity (from 7 kW residential units to 150 kW light-commercial systems) based on your property’s load requirements, fuel availability, and budget.
How long does a typical home standby-generator installation take?
Most residential installations in Elora are completed within one to two days. Day 1 covers site preparation, concrete pad placement, and delivery of the generator. Day 2 includes electrical and fuel-line connections, commissioning, and customer orientation. Larger units or complex trenching for gas service can add an extra day. We obtain all township permits in advance, so there are no delays for inspections.
What maintenance is required to keep my generator reliable during Elora’s winter outages?
Preventive maintenance should be performed at least once a year or every 100 hours of run time—whichever comes first. Tasks include oil and filter changes, spark-plug inspection, battery load testing, software/firmware updates, and a full load-bank test. Because Elora sees sub-zero temperatures, we also verify that the cold-weather kit (battery heater and oil warmer) is functioning to ensure quick starts during a snowstorm.
Will a standby generator be noisy or disturb my neighbours?
Modern generators are engineered with quiet-run enclosures and sound-insulated panels. Typical residential units operate between 60–70 dB at 7 m—comparable to a central air-conditioning condenser. To stay compliant with Centre Wellington noise bylaws, we position the unit at least 1 m from any property line and schedule weekly exercise cycles for mid-day hours. If further noise reduction is desired, we can add an aftermarket hospital-grade muffler.
Which fuel source is most economical in the Elora area?
Natural gas is generally the lowest-cost and most convenient fuel because most Elora homes are already connected to Enbridge’s distribution network, eliminating the need for refilling. Where gas service is unavailable, propane is the next best choice; we offer above-ground or buried tanks sized between 420 lb and 1,000 gal. Diesel is recommended for larger commercial sites that require long run times and on-site fuel storage.
Do you handle permits and inspections for generator installations?
Yes. Reliable Performance Electrical manages the entire permitting process, including the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) notification, Centre Wellington building permit (if required for pad or trenching), and TSSA approval for gas hookups. After installation, we schedule the final ESA inspection and provide you with the Certificate of Inspection—essential for validating the manufacturer’s warranty and your homeowner’s insurance.
