FAQs

What is an electrical generator?

An electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a magnetic field induces a flow of electric current in a conductor.

How does an electrical generator work?

An electrical generator works by moving a conductor, such as a coil of wire, within a magnetic field. This movement induces an electric current within the conductor due to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. The mechanical energy needed for this movement can come from various sources, such as diesel engines, water turbines, or wind turbines.

What are the main types of electrical generators?

The main types of electrical generators are AC (Alternating Current) generators and DC (Direct Current) generators. AC generators, also known as alternators, produce alternating current that changes direction periodically. DC generators produce direct current that flows in one direction.

What should I consider when choosing a generator?

When choosing a generator, consider the power capacity, fuel type (diesel, gasoline, natural gas), type of generator (portable, standby, inverter), run time, noise level, and the intended application (residential, commercial, industrial). It is also essential to ensure that the generator meets relevant safety and regulatory standards.

How do I maintain an electrical generator?

Maintain an electrical generator by conducting regular inspections, changing the oil and filters, checking the battery, testing the generator under load periodically, and ensuring that fuel is clean and free from contaminants. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Why does my generator need to be grounded?

Grounding your generator is essential for safety. It minimizes the risk of electric shock, helps prevent electrical fires, and ensures that the electrical system is protected from lightning and other surges. Proper grounding provides a path for electric current to safely dissipate into the earth, reducing the risk of injury and equipment damage.

Josh and Shawn with HEP Electric were both very knowledgeable and helpful when setting us up to be able to use our portable generators. Great guys to work with and highly recommend them!

Scott H.

Had them come out to setup our new gas range. Electrician was on time and professional. The guys that ran the gas line, Billy and Aaron were very professional explained if you couldn't see what they were doing, and they cleaned up after themselves. They all did a great job.

Jordan, Brayden, and Kaleb just wrapped up the job at my place and I could not be more pleased. They were professional, kind, and went above and beyond. My wife and I are building a house in Bulls Gap, and needed to hook up a pressure pump. I didn't realize what all would be needed, but they nailed it. They installed a pressure tank under the house and finished all of the piping and fittings. Because we don't have electric for our pump house, they got my generator running and made sure everything worked as it should. I won't use anybody else going forward. Thank you, guys! Y'all are awesome!

6-24-21 Rueben was on time, very helpful quick to find the issue we had. Had some electrical work done on the house and Ryan did a fantastic job. Very knowledgeable and professional and courteous. 3-10-21. Recently had another specialist come by. Olin took a look at some moisture buildup in the bathrooms in my home, immediately diagnosed the problem and recommended a great course of action. He was very helpful and I would be glad to call him again. 10-12-21 Rueben was here to do preventive maintenance on our plumbing and dis a great job. He diagnosed problems that we were not aware of and told us the best ways to fix it. Very good job as always.
