FAQs

Automated Home Generators

  • What size generator do I need?

    Generator sizing is customized according to each customer's specific requirements. We provide options that can power selected items and areas or deliver whole-home coverage, ensuring you receive exactly what your situation demands.
  • How long does it take to get a generator put in?

    Installation timelines vary based on your specific requirements and permit approval processes. Typically, we can complete generator installations within 2-3 weeks after all necessary permits have been approved.
  • What are the differences between a standby and portable generators.

    Standby generators offer permanent installation with fully automatic operation and can run on propane or natural gas. In contrast, portable generators require manual setup, stored fuel, and regular refueling during operation.
  • How long do generators last?

    Our generators are engineered for longevity, with an expected service life of 15 years or more when properly maintained.
  • Can I install a generator myself?

    While self-installation is technically possible, we do not recommend it due to the complex electrical work involved and the requirement to obtain proper permits. Professional installation ensures safety and compliance with local regulations.
  • What is a transfer switch?

    A transfer switch functions as an automatic device that detects power outages, starts your generator, and restores power to your home immediately. This seamless transition happens without requiring any manual intervention.
