Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to install a generator?

This varies each install but typical 1-2 days for the electrical aspect and then we return after the fuel source is hooked up to program.

Do I have to push a button to turn on the generator when I loose power?


Standby generators have automatic transfer switches that monitor the feed from the utility company and when your home loses power it will automatically turn on. When it gets power back from the grid it will automatically turn off.

Can I choose what day and time it will self test every week?


Yes, ask the technician when he is programming it.

Do they have to be maintained?


Yes, simple maintenance is required and is required to maintain all warranties.

What if I don’t have natural gas?


Generators can be fueled by both natural gas and propane.
