Generator Installation FAQs

What does generator installation include?

Installation commonly involves assessing the site, planning generator placement, connecting the unit to the electrical system, and setting up a transfer switch when appropriate. The exact scope depends on the property and the equipment selected.

How do I choose the right generator size?

Start by listing the appliances and systems you want to power during an outage. An electrician can review those loads and discuss generator capacity and options that fit your backup priorities.

Can a generator power my whole property?

That depends on the generator’s capacity and the electrical demand of your home or business. Installation planning can identify whether whole-property backup or selected circuits better match your needs.

What is a transfer switch for?

A transfer switch connects a generator to selected building circuits and helps switch between utility power and generator power. An electrician can determine the suitable setup for your equipment and electrical system.

How should I prepare for an installation?

Consider which equipment needs backup power and share any relevant details about your electrical system. The installer can discuss site access, placement, project requirements, and what to expect before work begins.
