Generator Installation

Keep Your Lights On with Expert Generator Installation

When the power goes out, a professionally installed generator ensures your home or business continues running smoothly. From preserving food and powering essential medical equipment to keeping your security systems active and your business operational, generator installation provides peace of mind during unexpected outages. Our certified technicians deliver safe, code-compliant installations tailored to your specific power needs and budget.

What Is a Generator Installation?
Generator installation is the professional process of connecting a backup power system to your property’s electrical infrastructure. Unlike portable generators that require manual setup during each outage, permanently installed standby generators automatically detect power loss and restore electricity within seconds. A complete installation includes the generator unit, transfer switch, fuel source connection, concrete pad foundation, and all necessary electrical wiring and permits .

Our Generator Installation Process

1. Consultation & Load Calculation: We assess your power needs by calculating wattage requirements for essential appliances and systems. Most homes need 20-24 kW to power all essential and non-essential appliances, while partial coverage can be achieved with 10-14 kW units

2. Site Assessment & Permitting: Our team evaluates optimal generator placement (typically 5+ feet from windows/doors), checks local codes, and obtains necessary permits ($50–$200) .

3. Site Preparation: We install a reinforced concrete pad ($50–$75 per sq ft, typically $1,000 total) to provide a stable, level foundation for your generator

4. Transfer Switch Installation: A critical safety component, the automatic transfer switch ($500–$2,000) detects power loss and safely switches your home from grid to generator power. Professional electrical connection takes approximately 4 hours

5. Generator Placement & Connection: The unit is secured to the concrete pad and connected to your electrical panel using code-compliant wiring methods. Licensed electricians handle all high-voltage connections to eliminate shock and fire hazards

6. Fuel Source Connection: We safely connect your generator to natural gas lines, propane tanks, or diesel fuel systems. This requires licensed professionals to prevent gas leaks and ensure proper pressure .

7. System Testing & Commissioning: Our technicians perform comprehensive testing including automatic startup simulation, load balancing, and safety system verification.

8. Final Inspection: We coordinate with local authorities for final approval, ensuring your installation meets all NEC and local building codes.
