FAQs
What types of generators do you install and service in Walland?
We install, service, and repair a full range of residential and light-commercial generators, including air-cooled units from 7 kW to 26 kW and liquid-cooled systems up to 150 kW. Our team is factory-trained on leading brands such as Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton, ensuring that homeowners, farms, and small businesses in Walland get a dependable power solution tailored to their specific needs.
How do I determine the right generator size for my property?
Proper sizing starts with a load calculation. We first list all critical circuits—such as HVAC, refrigeration, well pumps, medical equipment, and lighting—then add up their starting (surge) and running watts. Using this data and accounting for future expansion, we select a generator that can handle the heaviest load without over-sizing, which keeps fuel costs and initial investment reasonable. A quick site visit and utility bill review are usually enough for us to recommend the ideal kW rating.
What is involved in a professional generator installation?
A turnkey installation includes: 1) a site survey to pick a code-compliant, flood-safe location; 2) concrete pad or pre-cast base placement; 3) secure mounting of the generator; 4) connection to the home’s electrical system via an automatic transfer switch; 5) fuel line routing for natural gas or propane, pressure-tested for leaks; 6) startup, load testing, and user orientation. We handle permits and coordinate with the local utility and gas provider so your generator is ready for any outage.
How often should my generator be maintained and what does maintenance include?
Standby generators should be serviced at least once a year or after every 200 hours of run time, whichever comes first. A standard maintenance visit includes oil and filter change, spark plug replacement, air filter cleaning, battery load test, coolant check (liquid-cooled models), fuel system inspection, firmware updates, and a full operational test under load. Regular maintenance ensures reliability, extends engine life, and keeps the manufacturer’s warranty valid.
Will a standby generator power my whole home during an outage?
It depends on the generator’s capacity and your home’s load. Many homeowners choose a generator large enough to run all major systems, achieving seamless ‘whole-house’ power. Others opt for a smaller unit connected to an automatic load-shedding transfer switch that prioritizes essentials and cycles non-critical loads to prevent overload. During the sizing consultation, we’ll discuss your comfort preferences and budget to decide between whole-house coverage or essential-circuits protection.
Are there financing or rebate options available for generator purchases in Walland?
Yes. We partner with national lenders to offer low-interest financing plans with terms from 12 to 60 months and deferred-payment options. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) occasionally provides energy security incentives, and many propane suppliers offer fuel credits when you add a standby generator. We’ll walk you through current promotions, rebates, and tax-saving opportunities so you can install reliable backup power without straining your budget.
