Generator Services FAQs
What Size Generator Do I Need for My Home?
The size of the generator you need depends on your home’s power demands. A licensed electrician can assess your electrical system to determine the appropriate size based on the number of appliances, heating, and cooling systems you want to run during an outage.
Typically, a Generac whole-house generator is recommended to power the entire home.
How Often Should I Service My Generator?
Routine maintenance is key to keeping your generator in good condition. We recommend scheduling a service check every six to 12 months, which includes tasks like checking the spark plugs, oil, and fuel system.
Regular maintenance ensures that your generator will work properly when you need it most, minimizing any issues that may arise when running it during an outage.
What Is an Automatic Transfer Switch?
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is a device that automatically switches your home’s power source from the grid to your backup generator during a power outage. It ensures your generator runs immediately when the power goes out and stops once the grid is restored, providing a seamless transition.
Will Installing a Generator Increase My Home’s Value?
Yes, installing a house generator can increase your home’s value. Having a reliable backup power source is a valuable asset, especially in areas prone to power outages.
A professionally installed generator by our licensed electrical contractors adds security and appeal to potential buyers.

Installation costs for a whole-house generator vary depending on factors such as generator size, location, and the complexity of the electrical work involved.
