About the service
I install home standby generators and pair them with an automatic transfer switch so your house moves onto backup power within seconds of a utility outage, with zero manual breaker-flipping. Every job starts with a real load calculation, not a guess: I walk the panel, tally the amperage of your furnace blower, well pump, sump pump, refrigerators, and any window units, then size the unit and the switch amperage (100A, 150A or 200A) to match what your home actually draws, not an inflated number that costs more to buy and run.
Scope of work covers the concrete or composite pad prep and leveling, anchoring the unit at the required clearance from windows, doors and the structure per manufacturer specification, the fuel line hookup for natural gas or LP with a licensed gas fitter when local code requires one, and the electrical side: running conduit from the unit to the transfer switch, landing the switch beside your main panel, and re-terminating the circuits you want protected onto the backed-up bus.
I also handle the paperwork most homeowners dread: pulling the electrical and, where applicable, gas permit, scheduling the inspector, and walking the inspection with you so the sign-off happens on the first visit instead of a callback list. Before I leave, I run a full simulated outage test, confirm transfer time and re-transfer back to utility, set the exercise schedule on the controller, and hand you a written startup checklist plus the maintenance interval for oil and filter service.
Typical turnaround from site visit to commissioned system is one to two weeks depending on permit office response time and gas line complexity. I work with the fuel type and pad style you already have or help you choose one, and I do not push a specific brand — the sizing math and code compliance are what matter, not the sticker on the cabinet.
