FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in Jefferson City?
Peace of Mind Electrical supplies, installs, and services residential and light-commercial standby generators ranging from 10 kW to 150 kW. We work with leading manufacturers such as Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton, and can set up units powered by natural gas, propane, or diesel. Portable generators and transfer-switch upgrades are also available for customers who need a more flexible backup option.
How do I know what size standby generator my home or business needs?
Correct sizing depends on the total running and starting wattage of the appliances you want powered during an outage. During a free on-site assessment, we measure the load of HVAC units, refrigerators, medical devices, office equipment, and any future additions you have planned. We then add a 20–25 % safety margin to handle motor start-up surges and recommend a generator and automatic transfer switch that can comfortably meet that demand without over-sizing your system or your budget.
Do I need a permit in Jefferson City or Cole County to install a standby generator?
Yes. Jefferson City requires an electrical permit and an inspection by the Building & Regulations Division, and a separate gas-piping permit is needed if your unit runs on natural gas or propane. In unincorporated areas of Cole County, permits and inspections are handled by the county Building Code Enforcement office. Peace of Mind Electrical pulls all necessary permits, schedules inspections, and provides documentation for your homeowners’ insurance so the process is completely turnkey.
How often does my generator need maintenance, and what does that service include?
Standby generators should be serviced every 6–12 months or after 200 hours of run time, whichever comes first. Our maintenance plan includes an oil and filter change, spark-plug replacement, valve-clearance check, air-filter cleaning, battery load test, firmware updates, and a full transfer-switch inspection. We also run your unit under load to confirm it will start automatically and carry the rated capacity when you need it most.
What happens during a power outage—will the generator start automatically?
Your generator is paired with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that constantly monitors utility voltage. When power drops out, the ATS signals the generator to start, usually within 5–10 seconds. Once the generator reaches operating speed, the ATS transfers your home or business onto generator power. When utility service is restored, the ATS re-transfers the load back to the grid and the generator enters a cool-down cycle before shutting off. The entire process is automatic, so you don’t have to be home to stay protected.
How much does a whole-home generator installation cost, and do you offer financing?
Turnkey installations in the Jefferson City area generally range from $7,500 to $14,000, which includes the generator, ATS, gas-line connection, concrete pad, permits, and final electrical inspection. Larger commercial systems or sites requiring extensive trenching or panel upgrades will be priced accordingly. We partner with Synchrony Financial and local credit unions to offer 0 % interest plans for up to 18 months as well as low-APR long-term options, making backup power affordable for most homeowners and businesses.
