Installation Process
Our Generator Installation Process
- 1. Site Evaluation
We begin with a detailed evaluation of your home’s electrical system, service capacity, and installation location. This includes reviewing your main panel, available space for the generator, and identifying the best placement for safe and efficient operation. We also consider accessibility, ventilation, and code requirements to ensure a proper installation from the start.
- 2. Load Assessment & System Design
Every home has different power needs. We perform a load assessment to determine which circuits and appliances you want backed up and calculate the appropriate generator size. This ensures your system delivers reliable performance without oversizing or unnecessary cost.
- 3. Scope of Work & Estimate
Based on the evaluation and system design, we provide a clear scope of work outlining the installation details, equipment, and any required upgrades. You will receive a transparent estimate so you understand exactly what is included before moving forward.
- 4. Professional Installation
Our team installs the generator, transfer switch (manual or automatic), and all required electrical components. We ensure proper wiring methods, grounding, bonding, and overcurrent protection are in place. Coordination with the fuel supply (natural gas or propane) is also included to ensure the system is fully operational.
- 5. Testing, Verification & Commissioning
Once installation is complete, we perform functional testing to verify the system operates as intended. This includes simulating power loss conditions, verifying transfer switch operation, and confirming the generator performs properly under load.
