How long does a generator installation take?
Most residential generator installations are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of the site and electrical requirements. As licensed electrical contractors, we handle all aspects from start to final inspection. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your free estimate.
What size generator do I need for my home?
The right size depends on what you want to power during an outage. We offer free, no-obligation site assessments where we’ll evaluate your home’s power needs and recommend the appropriate generator size—from essential circuits (8kW) to complete whole-house coverage (up to 48kW for residential). Our licensed electricians will help you make the best choice for your budget and needs.
How often does my generator need maintenance?
We recommend annual maintenance for air-cooled generators and semi-annual service for liquid-cooled units. Regular maintenance includes oil and filter changes, battery checks, system testing, and inspection of all components. Proper maintenance extends the life of your generator and ensures it’s ready when you need it.
