FAQs
What types of generators does Power of Innovation Electrical supply and install in Jamestown?
We carry, install, and service a full range of residential and light-commercial standby generators from 9 kW to 150 kW, including air-cooled, liquid-cooled, diesel, natural-gas, and propane models from industry-leading brands such as Generac, Cummins, and Kohler. Our team will help you choose the best unit based on your property’s load requirements, fuel availability, and budget.
How does the generator installation process work?
After a free on-site assessment, we perform a detailed load calculation, size the generator, and provide a written proposal. Once approved, we handle permitting with the City of Jamestown, coordinate with your gas or propane provider if needed, pour the concrete pad, set the generator, run electrical and fuel lines, install the transfer switch, and complete startup testing. Most residential projects take 1–2 days of field work after permits and pad curing are complete.
Do I need a permit to install a standby generator in Jamestown?
Yes. Jamestown requires both an electrical and, when applicable, a fuel-gas permit for permanent standby generators. Power of Innovation Electrical manages the entire permitting process, including drawings, load calculations, and scheduling inspections, ensuring your installation meets all local codes and NEC requirements.
How often should my generator be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
Manufacturers recommend professional maintenance every 6–12 months or after 150–200 operating hours. Our maintenance plans include oil and filter changes, spark-plug replacement, valve adjustment checks, battery and charging-system testing, software/firmware updates, full operational load testing, and a comprehensive 30-point inspection to keep the warranty valid and ensure reliable performance during Jamestown’s storm season.
Will a standby generator power my whole house during an outage?
It depends on the generator’s capacity and your home’s load. Many homeowners opt for a 14–24 kW unit, which typically handles essentials plus HVAC. For larger homes or full-load coverage, we may recommend 30 kW or a load-shedding Smart Management Module. During your assessment, we’ll detail what each size will power so you can balance comfort and cost.
What is the average cost of installing a standby generator in Jamestown?
For a turn-key residential installation, pricing generally ranges from $8,000 to $14,000 for 14–24 kW air-cooled units and $18,000 to $30,000 for larger liquid-cooled systems. The final cost factors in generator size, fuel type, distance to the electrical panel and gas meter, permitting fees, and any upgrades required for code compliance. We offer transparent, itemized quotes and flexible financing options through Synchrony and local credit unions.
