Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our generator services
What size generator do I need?
The size of the generator you need depends on how much of your home or business you want to keep running during a power outage. Some people choose a smaller unit to power only essentials — like lights, refrigerators, and critical appliances — while others prefer whole-property coverage that includes HVAC systems, water heaters, and more. Our team will evaluate your space, walk through your priorities, and perform a load calculation to recommend the generator that best fits your needs and budget.
How long does installation take?
Most standby generator installations are completed in one to two days, but the exact timeline depends on your property and setup. The process includes site preparation, mounting the unit, fuel connection, and electrical integration with your home or business. We also handle permitting and local code compliance to ensure everything meets safety standards. Once installed, we perform full testing so you can be confident your generator will work the moment you need it.
Do generators run on natural gas or propane?
Yes. Standby generators typically run on natural gas or propane, providing continuous power without the need for manual refueling like portable units. If your property has access to a natural gas line, we’ll connect the generator directly for seamless operation. If not, propane is an excellent alternative, with on-site tanks that provide dependable fuel supply. We’ll help you decide which option is best based on your location, availability, and preferences.
How often should a generator be serviced?
For best results, generators should be serviced at least once a year, even if they haven’t been used often. Regular maintenance includes inspections, oil and filter changes, testing, and cleaning to keep all components in peak condition. If your generator runs frequently — such as during extended outages or heavy storm seasons — additional service may be recommended. Keeping up with maintenance not only prevents unexpected breakdowns but also extends the life of your investment.
Will a generator increase my property value?
Yes. A professionally installed standby generator is a highly valued upgrade for both homeowners and business owners. Buyers see it as a major benefit because it provides security, comfort, and convenience during outages. Beyond peace of mind, a generator can also give your property a competitive edge in the real estate market, particularly in areas prone to storms or grid instability.
What happens during an outage?
When utility power goes down, your standby generator automatically detects the loss and starts within seconds — restoring power to your home or business without you lifting a finger. Depending on your setup, it can supply electricity to essential appliances or your entire property until normal service is restored. Once the utility grid is back online, the generator shuts itself off and returns to standby mode, ready for the next outage.
How long does a standby generator last?
With proper maintenance, most standby generators can last 15–20 years or longer. The lifespan depends on how often the generator runs, the quality of care it receives, and the environment it’s in. Generators that are regularly serviced and run according to manufacturer recommendations typically deliver many years of reliable performance. Investing in annual maintenance helps protect your generator and maximize its life.
