FAQs
Why should I choose Precision Craftsmanship Electrical for generator services in Walland?
Our team focuses exclusively on the Blount County area, so we know Walland’s codes, permit requirements, and typical power-grid challenges. All technicians are state-licensed electricians who receive factory training on the major generator brands we sell and service. We handle every step in-house—site assessment, load calculation, permitting, installation, and long-term maintenance—so customers get one accountable point of contact and a system that is sized, wired, and tested for maximum reliability.
Which types and sizes of generators do you install or service?
We work with portable, standby, and PTO (tractor-driven) generators from 3 kW up to 150 kW. For most homeowners, we recommend air-cooled standby units in the 9–26 kW range, while light commercial and farm clients may need liquid-cooled models up to 150 kW. We are authorized dealers for Generac, Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Cummins, but we also service Guardian, Honeywell, Champion, and other common brands as long as replacement parts are still available.
What does a whole-home standby generator installation include?
1. Free on-site evaluation to calculate your home’s running and starting loads. 2. Written proposal with generator size, transfer switch rating, and total cost. 3. Permit application with Blount County Building & Codes and coordination with the local utility for gas or propane meter upsizing if needed. 4. Concrete pad or prefabricated composite base, generator delivery, and craning if required for steep lots. 5. Electrical rough-in: wiring, conduit, automatic transfer switch, and interlock inspection. 6. Gas line sizing and connection by a licensed plumber. 7. Final electrical inspection, load-bank test, and owner orientation on weekly self-test cycles, remote monitoring, and winterization steps.
How often should my generator be serviced, and what is included in maintenance?
Standby generators need professional service every 12 months or after 200 hours of run time—whichever comes first. A standard Precision Craftsmanship Electrical service visit includes oil and filter change, spark-plug replacement, valve clearance check, battery load test, air-filter inspection, fuel-system leak check, firmware updates, simulated outage run, and a written health report. For commercial units or high-use farm generators, we recommend semi-annual service.
Will installing a generator raise my home’s resale value or insurance premiums?
According to regional MLS data, homes in Blount County with whole-home backup power sell 4–6 % faster and for about $8,000 more than comparable properties without one. Most insurance carriers consider a permanently installed generator a risk-reducing feature because it keeps sump pumps, fire alarms, and security systems operational during outages; therefore premiums typically stay the same or may even drop slightly after you submit proof of installation.
Do I need a permit or inspection to install a generator in Walland, TN?
Yes. Blount County requires an electrical permit for any generator that hard-wires into your home’s service panel. If the generator is fueled by natural gas or propane, a separate mechanical permit is also needed for the gas line. After installation, the county electrical inspector and, when applicable, the gas inspector must sign off before the generator can be placed in automatic standby mode. Precision Craftsmanship Electrical prepares all drawings, pulls the permits, schedules inspections, and provides you with the final approval documents for your records.
