About generator installation
Generator installation includes a full site assessment, optimized generator sizing, transfer switch installation, and a careful electrical connection performed by our licensed electricians. We evaluate your existing panel, clearances, and ventilation, then recommend a standby unit for automatic operation or a portable unit for flexibility. Our Wisconsin-wide crews coordinate with you on placement options, choose fuel type (natural gas or propane where available, or corded hookups for propane), and ensure proper venting and exhaust clearances. We handle permits as needed and provide clear instructions for safe startup, routine testing, and routine maintenance. We offer guidance on running essential circuits, battery backup if needed, and integration with any existing home automation or smart-grid features. Across Wisconsin, homeowners trust our team to deliver a reliable, compliant installation that keeps power flowing during outages.
