Standby generator planning

The useful questions are which loads matter, what fuel the site has, and where the unit can sit. The panel work is not ours.

What we plan

A standby generator is there for the hours the utility is out. Before anyone orders a unit, the house needs a plain list: refrigeration, a well or a sump if it has one, heat, and the network, cameras, and lighting we put in. That list is how a size gets chosen. We do not publish a kilowatt number here, because the house decides it.

Fuel is a site question. Natural gas and propane are different runs, and a lake or mountain lot may not have the one you expect. Placement is the other half: a pad that the builder can reach, clear of the bedrooms, and coordinated with the gas or propane line.

What we do not do

We do not do house wiring, panels, or general electrical work. A licensed electrician installs the transfer equipment and the conductors. Our low-voltage licenses are not an electrical license. We coordinate the timing so the network and the other systems we install come back in a way the household can use. This is not a portable generator, and it is not a promise that we will be on the way when the power is already out.

The combined overview is still at generators, EV charging, and surge protection. Charging is on EV charging. Surge is on surge protection.

FAQs

Questions

Short answers before anyone sizes a generator.

Do you install the generator and the transfer equipment?

No. Panel work, transfer equipment, and house wiring go to a licensed electrician. We help with the load list, the fuel question, where the unit can sit, and which of our systems need to come back on.

Will you name a size or a price here?

No. The size depends on the loads that have to stay up, and the price is quoted after the house and the electrician's scope are known. This page does not list either.

Is this an emergency response service?

No. We plan the work with you, the builder, and the electrician. We do not promise a visit when the power is already out.
