FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in the Fayetteville area?
We work with a full range of residential and light-commercial generators, including portable units, standby natural-gas or propane generators, and diesel-powered solutions up to 150 kW. We are certified dealers for Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton, but we can service most other major brands as well.
How do I know what size generator I need for my home or business?
Our technicians perform a load-calculation visit to determine the exact wattage your essential circuits require. We factor in starting amperage for HVAC units, well pumps, and other inductive loads, then apply National Electrical Code (NEC) demand factors. The result is a right-sized recommendation that balances reliability with fuel efficiency and budget.
Do I need a permit to install a standby generator in Fayetteville?
Yes. The City of Fayetteville requires an electrical permit and, for natural-gas units, a plumbing/gas permit. We handle the entire permitting process, submit load-calculation sheets, site plans, and schedule inspections with the city inspector so you don’t have to worry about paperwork.
How often should my generator be serviced to maintain consistent energy flow?
For most standby models, the manufacturer recommends an annual service that includes oil and filter changes, spark-plug replacement, valve adjustment, battery load testing, and a full system diagnostic. Portable generators should be serviced every 100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Routine maintenance ensures the unit starts instantly when Fayetteville’s grid goes down.
Will the generator start automatically during a power outage?
Standby generators are paired with an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS senses grid power loss within seconds, starts the generator, and transfers your home or business load automatically. When utility power is restored, the ATS reverts to grid supply and shuts the generator down after a cool-down cycle—no manual intervention needed.
What does a typical turnkey generator installation cost in Fayetteville?
Pricing depends on generator size and fuel type, but a fully installed 14–22 kW natural-gas standby system usually ranges from $7,500 to $12,000, including equipment, permits, concrete pad, ATS, and labor. Financing plans with low monthly payments are available, and we provide free on-site quotes so you know the exact cost before we begin.
