When a Home Generator Makes Sense

  • Frequent storms, grid interruptions, or medical/remote-work needs
  • Critical loads: HVAC, refrigerators/freezers, well/irrigation pumps, sump, network
  • Home office or smart home systems that can’t go down
  • Insurance or inspection recommendations for backup power
  • All-electric homes or properties with frequent voltage dips

Home Generators — FAQs

What size generator do I need?
It depends on your service size and priority loads. Many homes choose 14–22kW for essential circuits or 24–26kW for whole-home. We perform NEC load calcs to size correctly.

How long does installation take?
Typical installs take 1–2 days plus utility/gas coordination and inspection. Power is briefly interrupted during ATS tie-in.

Do you handle permits, gas, and utility?
Yes—permits, inspections, utility notifications, and gas provider coordination are included in our turnkey service.

Can a portable generator be used safely?
Yes—with a code-compliant interlock kit and inlet, isolated from the grid via proper transfer equipment. Never backfeed through an outlet.

How loud are standby generators?
Modern enclosures are relatively quiet. We place units per code clearances and discuss locations to minimize sound at living spaces.
