FAQs
Why should I install a standby generator for my home or business in Newcomb?
A standby generator automatically supplies power within seconds of an outage, keeping lights, HVAC systems, medical equipment, security systems, and critical business operations running. In Newcomb, storms and grid interruptions are common, and a generator protects perishable goods, prevents lost revenue, and ensures comfort and safety until utility power is restored.
How do I know what size generator I need?
Sizing depends on the total wattage of the circuits or equipment you want to back up. Our licensed electricians perform a load calculation, considering starting (surge) and running watts for appliances, HVAC, motors, and sensitive electronics. For homes, this may range from 10–24 kW; for businesses, 25 kW to several hundred. We provide a detailed proposal so you get a generator that meets demands without overpaying for capacity you won’t use.
What is involved in the installation process and permitting in Newcomb?
Installation typically includes a site survey, concrete pad or elevated platform, electrical interconnection through an automatic transfer switch, and fuel line hook-up if using natural gas or propane. Newcomb requires an electrical permit and, in some cases, a zoning or noise review. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and coordination with the utility to ensure the system is code-compliant and ready for safe operation.
Which fuel options are available and what’s best for this area?
Residential and light-commercial generators usually run on natural gas, propane, or diesel. Natural gas is convenient if you have a utility supply; propane works well for properties without gas lines and stores indefinitely; diesel is common for larger commercial units because of high energy density and lower operating cost per kWh. In Newcomb’s cold winters, we recommend cold-weather kits for diesel units and tank heaters for propane systems to ensure reliable starting.
How often does a generator need maintenance and do you offer service plans?
Most manufacturers recommend maintenance every 6–12 months or after 100–200 operating hours. Service includes oil and filter changes, battery check, coolant inspection, load bank testing, and software updates. We offer tiered maintenance plans—annual, semi-annual, or quarterly—so homeowners and facility managers can choose a schedule that matches usage and warranty requirements.
What does a turnkey generator installation cost, and are financing options available?
Costs vary by capacity, fuel type, and site conditions. A fully installed residential unit typically starts around $7,500–$12,000, while commercial systems range from $15,000 upward. Prices include equipment, permits, labor, fuel plumbing, and startup testing. We partner with financing providers offering low-interest loans and lease-to-own options, making it easier to spread payments over 12–60 months while enjoying uninterrupted power right away.
