Whole House Generator Installation

What's Included in Your Installation

Your generator installation includes everything needed for a complete, code-compliant system. We provide the generator unit, automatic transfer switch, electrical connections, concrete pad or mounting platform, and all necessary permits and inspections.

We work with leading generator manufacturers to ensure you get reliable equipment backed by solid warranties. Whether you need a smaller unit to power essential circuits or a whole house generator that can handle your entire electrical load, we size the system correctly for your specific needs.

Every installation includes startup testing, system commissioning, and basic operation training. We also coordinate with your utility company for any required disconnection during installation and ensure your system meets all local electrical codes and manufacturer specifications.

How long does generator installation take in Maryneal?

Most residential generator installations take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the complexity of your electrical setup and the size of the generator. We start with the concrete pad preparation, which needs to cure for at least 24 hours before we can set the generator. The actual electrical work, including transfer switch installation and connections, typically takes 6-8 hours. Commercial installations may take longer depending on the electrical requirements and permitting process.

What size generator do I need for my home?

Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 20kW unit typically handles essential circuits like lights, refrigerator, furnace, and a few outlets. If you want to power your entire home including central air conditioning, you’ll likely need 24kW or larger. We calculate your electrical load by looking at your main panel, major appliances, and HVAC system. The goal is to size it correctly so you get the power you need without overpaying for capacity you won’t use.

Do I need permits for generator installation?

Yes, generator installation requires electrical permits and inspections to ensure code compliance and safety. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our installation service. The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on local requirements. Your utility company may also require notification or approval for the transfer switch installation, which we coordinate for you.

What's the difference between portable and standby generators?

Portable generators require manual setup, fueling, and connection during outages. They’re less expensive upfront but limited in what they can power and require you to be home to operate them. Standby generators are permanently installed and automatically start when power goes out. They’re connected to your home’s electrical system through a transfer switch and can power your entire home or selected circuits. While standby units cost more initially, they provide hands-off operation and much greater convenience.

How often do generators need maintenance?

Standby generators should be serviced annually to ensure reliable operation. This includes changing the oil and filters, checking the battery, testing the automatic start system, and inspecting electrical connections. Most generators also run a weekly self-test cycle to keep internal components exercised. We recommend having a qualified technician perform annual maintenance rather than trying to do it yourself, as proper maintenance is critical for warranty coverage and reliable operation when you need it most.

Can generators run on natural gas or propane?

Most standby generators can run on either natural gas or propane, depending on what’s available at your property. Natural gas provides unlimited runtime since it’s supplied through utility lines, but requires gas line installation if you don’t already have service. Propane offers more installation flexibility and isn’t affected by gas utility outages, but requires tank refilling. We help you choose the best fuel option based on your property setup, local utility availability, and personal preferences.
