Generac Generators

Not just anywhere. There are rules. Generators need to meet clearance requirements from windows, doors, and other structures. Placement affects safety, noise, maintenance access, and permitting.

In most areas, yes. You’ll likely need both electrical and fuel permits, and in some cases, a site inspection. This varies by county, and many homeowners don’t know this is even part of the process. We handle all of that for you.

It depends on the model. Some generators are surprisingly loud, and sound levels can vary depending on fuel type, placement, and the size of the unit. We help you choose a model that fits your space and your tolerance for noise.

Most people aren’t sure whether they should choose natural gas, propane, or gasoline, or if they even have access to the right fuel. Each option has tradeoffs in cost, availability, and long-term upkeep. We’ll walk you through it.

Not quite. Like a vehicle, generators need regular maintenance to stay reliable. That includes oil changes, filter replacements, and annual checks, especially to keep warranties active. Many people skip this without realizing the risk.

Yes — it’s called a transfer switch, and it’s what safely connects your generator to your home’s electrical system. Most people have never heard of one, but it’s a required part of any proper installation. It prevents power from backfeeding into utility lines (which can be dangerous for linemen), and it controls which circuits in your home the generator powers. There are automatic and manual versions, and choosing the right one depends on your setup and budget. We’ll help you figure out what’s needed and handle the installation.
