FAQs
What types of generators does Robust Performance Electrical offer in Niota?
We supply and install a full range of standby and prime-power generators, including portable inverter units (1–12 kW), residential standby generators (14–48 kW), and commercial/industrial diesel and natural-gas sets up to 2 MW. All models are UL-listed, meet EPA emissions standards, and can be paired with automatic transfer switches for seamless operation.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Our technicians perform a complimentary load analysis to measure the starting and running watts of your critical circuits or facility equipment. We then apply a 20 % safety margin and factor in future expansion. For a quick estimate: add the wattage of your largest motor load to the total running watts of other devices, divide by 1,000 to convert to kW, and choose the next-larger generator rating. We also consider voltage, phase, fuel availability, and local code requirements.
What fuel options are available for generators in Niota, and which is best?
We offer gasoline, diesel, propane, and natural-gas models. Gasoline works for portable units but has short shelf life. Diesel delivers the highest energy density and is preferred for commercial backup. Propane is clean-burning, stores indefinitely in on-site tanks, and suits rural homes. Natural gas provides unlimited runtime if utility service is reliable. Our team reviews your site’s infrastructure, runtime expectations, and budget to recommend the optimal fuel.
Do you handle permits and inspections for generator installations?
Yes. In Niota and the surrounding McMinn County area, standby generator installs require electrical and sometimes gas/mechanical permits. We prepare the drawings, submit the applications, coordinate utility notifications, and schedule final inspections with the city or county inspector. All work is performed by licensed electricians, and you receive copies of approval documents for your records.
How often does a generator need maintenance, and what does it include?
For residential standby units, we recommend service every 12 months or 100 running hours, whichever comes first. Industrial sets typically follow a 250-hour schedule. A standard visit includes oil and filter change, coolant check, spark-plug or injector inspection, battery test, air-filter replacement, controller firmware update, and a 30-minute load test. We offer affordable maintenance plans that keep your warranty valid and ensure readiness during outages.
Can Robust Performance Electrical provide 24/7 emergency support in Niota?
Absolutely. Our on-call technicians are available around the clock. If your generator alarms or fails to start, call our emergency line and we’ll dispatch a certified tech with a fully stocked service truck. Most common issues—battery failure, low coolant, fuel blockage, or control faults—are resolved on-site within the first visit, minimizing downtime for your home or business.
