Home Generator Installation Process

From Planning to Power in Simple Steps

First, we come out and assess your electrical panel and property. We’ll calculate your power needs based on what you actually want to keep running during an outage. Not everything needs backup power, and we’ll help you prioritize what matters most.

Next, we handle the permits and order your generator. We coordinate with the gas company if you’re going with natural gas, or we’ll set up propane service if that makes more sense for your property. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to chase down approvals.

Installation day involves setting the generator pad, running the electrical connections, and installing the transfer switch. We test everything thoroughly before we leave. You’ll know exactly how your system works and what to expect during an actual outage.

Whole House Generator Installation

Complete Installation, Not Just Equipment Drop-Off

Your generator installation includes everything needed for a working system. We pour the concrete pad, install the transfer switch, run the gas lines, and handle all electrical connections. You get a system that’s ready to operate, not a pile of parts in your backyard.

We work with major generator brands and can recommend the right size for your specific needs. A 20kW unit might be perfect for essential circuits, while larger homes often need 24kW or higher for whole-house coverage. We’ll walk through your electrical panel and help you decide what makes sense.

Every installation comes with a full system test and walkthrough. You’ll understand how to check your generator’s status, when it needs service, and what to do if you notice any issues. We’re not just installing equipment – we’re setting up a system you can rely on for years.

How long does generator installation take in Maverick County?

Most residential generator installations take 1-2 days once permits are approved and equipment arrives. The actual installation day involves setting the concrete pad (which needs time to cure), running electrical connections, installing the transfer switch, and connecting gas lines. We schedule the work when we can complete everything properly without rushing. Weather can affect concrete work, so we build some flexibility into the timeline. Commercial installations typically take longer depending on the system size and complexity.
Generator sizing depends on what you want to keep running during an outage. Essential circuits (refrigerator, some lights, garage door, security system) might only need 10-12kW. Whole house coverage including air conditioning usually requires 20kW or larger. We calculate your actual load based on your electrical panel and usage patterns. Oversizing wastes money on equipment and fuel, while undersizing means you can’t run everything you planned. We’ll walk through your home and help you prioritize what’s most important during an outage.
Yes, generator installations require electrical permits in Maverick County. We handle the permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The process involves submitting plans showing the generator location, electrical connections, and gas line routing. Most permits are approved within a few days if everything meets code requirements. We know local inspectors and code requirements, so we design installations that pass inspection the first time. Skipping permits can cause problems with insurance claims and resale value later.
Natural gas is convenient if you already have service to your home – unlimited fuel supply and no tank refills. Propane gives you fuel independence and often better cold-weather performance. In Maverick County, many homes use propane for other appliances, so adding generator service is straightforward. Propane tanks need periodic refilling, but you control your fuel supply. Natural gas can be interrupted during major disasters, while propane stored on your property stays available. We’ll evaluate your property and existing utilities to recommend the best option.
Standby generators need professional service twice a year – typically spring and fall. Maintenance includes oil changes, filter replacement, battery testing, and system operation checks. Most generators self-test weekly, but that doesn’t replace professional maintenance. Skipping service voids warranties and leads to failures when you need power most. We offer maintenance contracts that keep your generator ready and preserve warranty coverage. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs or leave you without backup power during storms.
We prioritize emergency generator repairs during outages, but prevention is better than emergency service. That’s why regular maintenance matters so much. Most generator failures during storms are preventable – dead batteries, old oil, or clogged air filters. We stock common repair parts and can often get systems running quickly. However, major storms can delay service calls due to road conditions and high demand. A well-maintained generator with fresh oil, good battery, and clean filters will usually start when needed. Emergency repairs during active storms are challenging and expensive compared to routine maintenance.
