FAQs
What types of generators do you supply and install in Sparta?
We carry a full range of standby and portable generators, including air-cooled residential units (8–24 kW), liquid-cooled commercial systems (25–150 kW), and industrial prime-power sets up to 2 MW. Major brands include Generac, Cummins, and Kohler. We also provide PTO and inverter generators for agricultural and recreational applications. Our team helps you match fuel type (natural gas, propane, diesel) and capacity to your specific load profile so you never over- or under-size your system.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Proper sizing starts with a load calculation. We inventory all critical circuits, HVAC units, motors, and other large loads to determine starting (inrush) and running amperage. Using manufacturer spec sheets and NEC demand factors, we create a load summary in kilowatts (kW). We then apply a 20 % margin for future growth and power factor correction. For homes, the typical range is 12–22 kW; for small businesses it can be 30–60 kW; and for industrial sites, we may recommend paralleling multiple 150 kW modules for redundancy. A free on-site assessment in Sparta usually takes under an hour and guarantees the generator you buy will handle real-world conditions.
What permits or inspections are required for generator installation in the City of Sparta?
Sparta follows Wisconsin Electrical Code (based on NEC 2020), so a local electrical permit is mandatory for any standby generator that connects to the premises wiring. The city also requires an HVAC/mechanical permit if a gas line is added or modified. After installation, our licensed electricians schedule an inspection with the Sparta Building Safety Department to verify clearances, wiring methods, and automatic transfer switch operation. We handle all paperwork and fees, and typical approval time is 3–5 business days.
How often should my generator be serviced and what does maintenance include?
For standby units, manufacturers recommend service every 200 running hours or once per year, whichever comes first. A standard maintenance visit includes: oil and filter change, spark plug replacement (gas engines), air filter check, coolant top-off (liquid-cooled models), battery load test, fuel system inspection, and a 20-minute full-load exercise. We also update controller firmware and log error codes. Enrolling in our Sparta Maintenance Plan ensures your warranty remains valid and provides 24/7 priority response during outages.
Can a generator be connected to solar or battery storage systems?
Yes. Hybrid power setups are increasingly common in Sparta. We integrate generators with solar PV and lithium battery banks using a hybrid inverter/charger and an intelligent automatic transfer switch (ATS). During a grid outage, the inverter draws from batteries first; when battery state of charge falls to a preset level, the ATS starts the generator automatically. This approach reduces fuel consumption by up to 60 % and ensures seamless power to critical loads. We design systems to meet NEC 705 and UL 1741 standards.
What warranty and support do you provide after installation?
All residential and light-commercial generators come with a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. Industrial models offer 2-year/2000-hour comprehensive coverage with optional extensions to 10 years. Our Sparta service center stocks common parts and provides 24/7 emergency dispatch within a 50-mile radius. Remote monitoring via Wi-Fi or cellular lets us detect faults instantly and, in many cases, resolve issues before you notice a problem.
