FAQs
What types of generators do you offer in Jellico?
We supply a full range of generators to suit every need in Jellico, including portable inverter units for camping and tailgating, residential standby systems that power an entire home automatically, and heavy-duty commercial/industrial generators from 30 kW up to 1 MW. All models are available in gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or propane configurations, and most carry UL and EPA certifications for use in Tennessee.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Start by listing the appliances and systems you want to keep running during an outage (HVAC, refrigerators, lights, servers, etc.). Add the starting (surge) wattage of each item to find a total. Because calculating loads can be tricky, our technicians offer free on-site assessments in Jellico. We measure your actual amperage draw, evaluate future expansion plans, and recommend a generator with at least a 20 % safety margin so you never overload the unit.
Do you provide installation and permitting services in Jellico?
Yes. Our licensed electricians handle the entire installation process, including concrete pad placement, fuel line connection, transfer-switch wiring, and final start-up testing. We also pull all city and Campbell County permits, schedule inspections, and coordinate with local utilities (Cumberland Electric and Jellico Utilities) to ensure full code compliance.
How often should my generator be serviced to ensure consistent power?
Manufacturers recommend preventive maintenance every 6-12 months or after 100 hours of runtime, whichever comes first. A standard service visit in Jellico includes oil and filter changes, fuel-system cleaning, battery load testing, firmware updates, and a full operational load-bank test. Keeping this schedule preserves your warranty and greatly reduces the likelihood of unexpected failure during an outage.
Will a standby generator add value to my property and reduce insurance costs?
Real-estate studies show that a properly installed standby generator can increase a home’s resale value by 3-5 %. Many insurers operating in Jellico, including Farm Bureau and State Farm, offer premium discounts of up to 10 % for homes protected by automatic generators because they reduce the risk of frozen pipes, sump-pump failure, and security breaches during blackouts.
What financing or maintenance plans are available for Jellico customers?
We partner with Synchrony and TVA EnergyRight to provide 0 % interest financing for up to 18 months on new generator purchases. For ongoing care, our “PowerGuard” service contracts start at $29 per month and cover two preventive visits a year, 24/7 remote monitoring, priority emergency response, and all labor on warranty repairs. These plans are available exclusively to customers in Jellico and the surrounding Campbell County area.
