FAQs
What types of electrical generators do you install and service in Oneida?
We handle the full spectrum of standby and portable generators, including residential air-cooled models (7–26 kW), liquid-cooled commercial units (30 kW–150 kW), diesel-fueled industrial sets up to 1 MW, and PTO and inverter generators for farms and recreation. We are factory-authorized dealers for Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and Briggs & Stratton, which means we can supply the equipment, perform warranty work, and stock genuine replacement parts locally in Oneida.
How do I determine the right size generator for my home or business?
Proper sizing is critical for safety and performance. Our technicians perform a free on-site load analysis that lists every circuit you want backed up, measures starting and running amperage, and factors in future expansion. For homes, we generally recommend 10–14 kW for essentials, 16–22 kW for whole-house coverage. Businesses are sized by kVA demand; for example, a convenience store may need 35 kW while a light-manufacturing shop could require 80 kW. We also check Oneida Gas & Electric or National Grid supply pressure if you plan to use natural gas.
Do I need permits or inspections to install a standby generator in Oneida?
Yes. The City of Oneida Codes Office requires an electrical permit and, if the unit is stationary, a mechanical (fuel) permit. We prepare the drawings, load calculations, and site plan, submit them on your behalf, and schedule the final inspection. All work is performed to the National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) and NFPA 37 for engine exhaust clearances, so you’ll have full code compliance and documentation for your insurer.
How often should my generator be serviced?
Most manufacturers call for maintenance every 6 months or 200 run-hours, whichever comes first. A typical service visit includes an oil and filter change, air filter check, spark-plug replacement, valve adjustment (for air-cooled units), fuel system test, battery load test, firmware updates on the controller, and a full transfer-switch exercise. We offer annual maintenance plans that provide two visits per year, 24/7 emergency response within Oneida city limits, and discounted parts pricing.
Will my generator start automatically during a power outage?
If you choose an automatic standby generator with an ATS (automatic transfer switch), the controller senses utility failure within one second, starts the engine, stabilizes voltage, and transfers the load—usually in 10–15 seconds total. When National Grid power returns, the ATS switches back, the generator cools down for 1–2 minutes, and shuts off. Portable generators need to be started manually and connected through a properly installed inlet and interlock or manual transfer switch.
What is the cost of a generator system and do you offer financing?
Turn-key residential installations in Oneida typically range from $7,500 for a 10 kW air-cooled unit to $15,000 for a 22 kW whole-house package, including concrete pad, gas piping, permits, and sales tax. Commercial sets start around $12,000 for 30 kW and scale with capacity and fuel type. We partner with Synchrony and GreenSky to offer 0% APR for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months. We also guide customers through National Grid’s Small Business Energy Efficiency incentives, which can offset up to 50 % of qualifying installation costs.
