Frequently Asked Questions
How does a standby generator work?
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and connects to your natural gas or propane line. When the power goes out, the transfer switch automatically turns the generator on within seconds.
What size generator do I need?
We will perform a load calculation based on your home's size and what you want to keep running during an outage (e.g., just essentials like the fridge and heat, or the whole house). We'll recommend the perfect size.
Do you provide maintenance for Generac generators?
Yes, as an authorized Generac dealer, we offer ongoing maintenance, servicing, and repairs to ensure your generator is ready when you need it.
Do I need a permit for a generator installation?
Yes, installing a standby generator requires electrical and often plumbing (gas) permits. We handle the entire permitting and inspection process.
Do you pull permits for generator installations and how long does the install take?
Yes — whole-home standby generators require an electrical permit (and a gas permit if we're not partnered with your plumber). Most installations take one to two days on site once the generator is delivered, plus a brief startup and inspection visit. Call (971) 306-8484.
