Backup Generator Installation Service
Generator installation puts a permanent power source at your property so a storm outage stops being something you sit through in the dark. The Generator Guys install home standby generators for homeowners who want their power back in seconds instead of days. Our electricians are licensed under EC13005590.
An outage costs more than comfort. On a well, no power means no water. A sump pump stops and the basement takes on water. A freezer full of food has a clock on it. Anyone running a CPAP, a medication fridge, or a home office has a harder problem than a dark living room.
A standby generator sits on a pad outside, runs on natural gas or propane, and starts on its own.
Whole House Generator Installation Sized to What Your Home Really Pulls
Home generator installation starts with a load calculation. We check the amperage at your electrical panel and add up what actually draws: the AC compressor and air handler, well pump, water heater, range, dryer, and refrigerator. Motor loads pull hard on startup, several times their running watts, so the sizing works off that number rather than the nameplate.
That total sets the kW rating and answers the real question. A whole house generator carries everything and costs more. An essential circuits build covers a smaller list, usually the well pump, furnace or air handler, refrigerator, sump pump, and a few outlets, and it fits a smaller unit.
Fuel is the last piece. Natural gas runs off the meter with nothing to refill. Propane needs a tank sized for runtime.
Standby Generator Installation, From Site Survey to Startup
A site survey comes first. Where the unit can sit, how far that is from your electrical panel and gas meter, whether the meter carries the BTU draw, and what clearance code requires from windows, doors, dryer vents, and the AC condenser.
Then the permit. Generator work ties into your electrical panel and gets inspected, and the gas connection gets its own look.
Install day covers the pad, the gas line, the feeder run, and the automatic transfer switch wired between the utility feed and your panel. Startup is last. We cut your power on purpose, watch the unit come up under real load, set the weekly exercise cycle, and walk you through the controller before we leave.
Tell Us Your Panel Size and Fuel and We Will Size Your Generator Installation
Two details get you a real number instead of a range. The amperage on your main breaker, and whether you have natural gas at the meter or room for a propane tank. If you already know what has to stay running during an outage, tell us that too.
Fill out the form or call us. You will get a kW size, a fuel recommendation, where the unit would sit on your property, what permitting adds to the timeline, and equipment lead time. If an essential circuits build covers what matters for less money, we will tell you that instead of quoting the bigger unit. Emergency service is available 24/7.
