Power outages can happen without warning, leaving you without lights, heating, or refrigeration. A backup generator ensures your household stays comfortable and functional during these disruptions. At Your Local Electric Pro, we specialize in installing generators that automatically switch on when the grid goes down. We assess your power needs and recommend a unit that can handle essential circuits, from sump pumps to home offices.
Stay Prepared for Outages
Before installation, we evaluate your current electrical panel to confirm it can integrate with a generator transfer switch. If capacity is limited, an electrical panel upgrade may be necessary. Our team manages all permits and coordinates with utility companies when required. Once everything is ready, we mount the generator in a safe location with adequate ventilation, ensuring it complies with local codes.
Regular maintenance keeps your generator ready for action. We provide routine inspections, oil changes, and load testing to guarantee reliable performance. Many homeowners pair generator installation with surge protection to shield appliances from voltage fluctuations when power is restored. Our technicians explain how to operate the system and check indicators so you always know it's in good condition.
Fuel choice is another key consideration. Some models run on natural gas, while others use propane or diesel. Our electricians review the pros and cons based on your budget and local fuel availability. Natural gas systems connect to existing lines for convenience. Propane tanks provide flexibility if you live outside the service grid. Diesel units deliver strong output but require periodic refueling. We also explain maintenance for each fuel type, such as filter changes and storage guidelines, so you can plan for long-term reliability.
After installation, we run full load tests to confirm the generator handles your expected demand. We show you how to monitor fuel levels and test the system each month so you feel confident operating it when an outage occurs.
Businesses can also benefit from backup generators, especially those that store perishable goods or rely on electrical equipment for daily operations. A well-installed generator protects your bottom line by preventing downtime and maintaining security systems. We design solutions for commercial properties of all sizes, working closely with managers to limit disruption during installation.
