FAQs
What types of generators do you install for residential and commercial clients in Sale Creek?
We offer a full range of standby and portable generators from leading manufacturers such as Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton. For homes, we typically recommend air-cooled units from 10 kW to 26 kW that automatically power critical circuits or the entire residence. Commercial projects usually call for liquid-cooled units from 30 kW up to several hundred kilowatts, available in natural gas, propane, or diesel configurations. All systems are matched to your load requirements, fuel availability, and budget.
How do I determine the correct generator size for my property?
Sizing starts with a load analysis. Our technicians review your electrical panel, list the appliances or equipment you want backed up, and calculate their starting and running wattage. We also factor in future expansion and local temperature derating. For homes, the process takes about 30 minutes; for businesses we may install temporary data loggers to measure real-time demand. Once the total kilowatt requirement is known, we select a generator that delivers at least 10 % headroom to ensure reliability under peak conditions.
What is included in a professional generator installation?
A turnkey installation covers: • Site assessment and placement that meets local code and manufacturer clearances. • Concrete pad or vibration-isolated mounting. • Fuel line installation (natural gas or propane) or fuel tank placement for diesel units. • Automatic transfer switch (ATS) sizing and connection to your main service entrance. • All electrical conduit, cabling, and load-shedding modules if needed. • Start-up testing, voltage/frequency calibration, and customer training. We handle every step in-house and coordinate inspections with the Sale Creek building department.
Do I need permits or inspections for a generator in Sale Creek?
Yes. Hamilton County requires an electrical permit, and the gas utility may require a separate fuel line permit. Commercial projects often need a mechanical permit as well. After installation, the county inspector verifies wiring, grounding, and clearances, while the gas utility performs a pressure test on new lines. We prepare all drawings, submit applications, pay permit fees, and schedule the final inspection so you don’t have to worry about paperwork.
How often should my generator be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
Manufacturers recommend maintenance every 6 months or after 100–150 run hours, whichever comes first. Our preventive service plans include oil and filter changes, spark-plug replacement, air-filter inspection, battery load testing, coolant and belt checks on liquid-cooled units, firmware updates, full diagnostic reporting, and a 15-minute loaded run test. Regular servicing not only extends warranty coverage but also ensures the system starts instantly during a Sale Creek power outage.
Can you integrate a generator with solar panels or my existing smart electrical panel?
Absolutely. We frequently design hybrid solutions that combine rooftop solar, battery storage, and a standby generator for seamless, layered backup. The generator’s ATS communicates with hybrid inverters or smart panels via dry contacts or Modbus, allowing prioritized use of solar and batteries before the generator engages. This approach reduces fuel consumption and emissions while guaranteeing uninterrupted power when battery reserves are low or during extended grid failures.
