FAQs
What size generator do I need for my home or business in Jonesborough?
The correct generator size depends on the total wattage of the appliances and equipment you want to power. A whole-home residential system typically ranges from 14–24 kW, while small businesses may need 25–60 kW or more. We offer a free on-site load assessment in Jonesborough to calculate your exact requirements and recommend the best-fit generator without oversizing or undersizing.
How long does a typical generator installation take?
From the time you approve the proposal, most residential standby generator installations in Jonesborough take 1–3 days. Day 1 covers pad preparation and unit placement, Day 2 involves electrical and gas hookups, and Day 3 is reserved for testing and customer orientation. Commercial projects can take 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity and permitting.
Do I need a permit to install a standby generator in Jonesborough, Tennessee?
Yes. The Town of Jonesborough requires electrical and, if applicable, gas permits for permanent generator installations. Our team handles the entire permitting process, coordinates inspections with Washington County Building Codes, and ensures the installation meets NEC, NFPA 70, and local zoning regulations.
What maintenance does a standby generator require?
Standby generators should be serviced at least once a year or after every 100–150 run hours. Routine maintenance includes changing oil and filters, checking spark plugs, inspecting the battery, testing the transfer switch, and running a full-load exercise. We offer maintenance plans that include 24/7 monitoring, semi-annual inspections, and priority repair service for Jonesborough customers.
Can a generator run on multiple fuel types?
Many modern generators are built to operate on natural gas or propane. Some commercial models offer tri-fuel capability (natural gas, propane, or diesel). During installation, we’ll review your fuel availability, storage options, and local code requirements to recommend the safest and most cost-effective solution.
How loud are standby generators, and are there noise regulations in Jonesborough?
Residential standby units typically produce 60–70 dB at 23 ft—similar to an air-conditioning compressor. Jonesborough follows Washington County’s general noise ordinance, which limits continuous noise in residential zones to 75 dB during the day and 65 dB at night. All generators we install are within these limits, and we can add sound-attenuating enclosures or strategic placement to further minimize noise.
