FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in Estill Springs?
We work with a full range of residential and light-commercial generators, including standby (whole-home), portable, inverter, and PTO-driven units. Our technicians are factory-trained on major brands such as Generac, Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Cummins, so we can install, maintain, and repair virtually any model on the market.
How do I know what size generator my home or business needs?
During a free on-site assessment, we calculate your required running wattage by listing critical loads (HVAC, refrigeration, medical devices, etc.) and applying NEC demand factors. We then add a starting (surge) wattage cushion and recommend a generator sized at 20–25 % above that number for future expansion. This ensures reliable, fuel-efficient performance without the risk of overload.
Do I need a permit to install a standby generator in Estill Springs?
Yes. The City of Estill Springs and Franklin County require an electrical permit and sometimes a plumbing/mechanical permit for the gas line. We handle the entire permitting process, coordinate inspections, and ensure the installation meets NEC 702, local zoning setbacks, and utility company requirements for safe grid interconnection.
How often should my generator be serviced?
For standby units, manufacturers recommend a full preventive maintenance visit every 12 months or 100–150 hours of run time, whichever comes first. Service includes oil and filter change, spark plug replacement, valve clearance check, battery load test, firmware update, and a 30-minute load exercise. Portable models should be serviced at least once a year and after any extended power-outage use.
Can you help with fuel options and storage?
Absolutely. We install generators running on natural gas, propane, diesel, and bi-fuel. If natural gas is unavailable, we size and set ASME propane tanks (up to 1,000 gal.) or double-wall diesel day tanks. We also advise on fuel polishing, tank inspection intervals, and cold-weather additives to ensure reliable starts during winter outages.
What makes your electrical craftsmanship stand out?
Our team holds Tennessee LLE and Master Electrician licenses, carries $2 million in liability insurance, and completes over 40 hours of factory and NEC continuing education each year. We use only copper THHN/THWN conductors, hydraulic-crimped lugs, and UV-rated conduit. Every project receives IR thermal imaging and megger testing before commissioning, backed by a five-year workmanship warranty—one of the longest in the Estill Springs area.
