FAQs
What types of generators does Power of Innovation Electrical offer in Niota?
We supply a full range of generators, including portable inverter units (1–7 kW), residential air-cooled standby systems (8–26 kW), liquid-cooled commercial standby sets (30–150 kW), and industrial diesel or natural-gas models up to 2 MW. All units are sourced from Tier-1 manufacturers, are EPA-certified, and can be paired with automatic transfer switches for seamless power continuity.
How do I figure out what size generator I need for my home or business?
Start by listing the appliances, HVAC equipment, and critical circuits you want to keep running during an outage. Add their starting (surge) and running wattages, then apply a 20 % safety margin. For most Niota homes, a 14-22 kW standby unit covers essentials plus central air. Small businesses typically require 25-60 kW, while light-industrial facilities may need 100 kW or more. We offer a free on-site load assessment where our licensed electricians measure actual amperage and recommend the correct size so you neither over-spend nor under-power.
Are your generators compliant with Niota’s building codes and noise regulations?
Yes. All residential and commercial standby models we install meet National Electrical Code (NEC) 2023 standards, NFPA 110/37 guidelines, and McMinn County permitting requirements. Sound-attenuated enclosures limit noise to 65 dB(A) at 23 ft, which satisfies Niota’s zoning ordinance for residential neighborhoods. We handle all permit applications, site inspections, and utility notifications on your behalf.
Do you offer complete installation and ongoing maintenance?
Absolutely. Our turnkey service includes site survey, concrete pad/foundation, fuel line or tank installation (propane, natural gas, or diesel), electrical wiring, ATS integration, start-up testing, and customer training. After installation, we provide 24/7 remote monitoring and scheduled maintenance plans—oil/filter changes every 200 hours or annually, coolant and battery checks, and load-bank testing—so your generator remains ready when outages strike.
What kind of warranty and technical support can I expect?
All residential units carry a 5-year limited warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. Commercial and industrial sets include a 2-year/2,000-hour base warranty, extendable to 5 years/5,000 hours. Power of Innovation Electrical staffs a factory-trained service team in Niota, with a guaranteed 4-hour emergency response window. We stock critical spares locally, and firmware updates or remote diagnostics are provided at no charge during the warranty period.
Do you offer financing or rental options for generators?
Yes. We partner with local credit unions to provide fixed-rate financing up to 120 months with no prepayment penalties. For temporary or seasonal needs, we maintain a rental fleet from 20 kW towables to 1 MW containerized units, available on daily, weekly, or monthly terms—including delivery, setup, fuel management, and 24/7 service support.
