Generator FAQ

Generator questions, answered clearly

We’ll walk through safety, permitting, and what it takes to keep a generator project inspection ready with less stress.

Tap a question to see details.

Many generator and transfer-switch projects require permits and inspection, especially when work involves the service equipment. We handle the permit and inspector paperwork from filing through close-out, and we install to support a smooth inspection process.

Improper connections can energize utility lines during an outage, creating serious hazards for workers and your home. We focus on code-correct transfer methods, proper labeling, and verification so the system switches safely and predictably.

During the inspection we identify critical circuits and discuss comfort loads, then match options to your goals. A clear load plan keeps expectations realistic and helps avoid overbuilding or underbuilding the system.

If you expect EV charging, smart-home expansion, or other major electrical additions, we can design the backup approach with future-proof capacity planning in mind. That way, today’s install doesn’t block tomorrow’s upgrades.

Where relevant, we discuss placement, weather exposure, and electrical protection choices that fit storm realities. We’ll recommend a code-forward approach that aligns with your home’s risk profile and local requirements.
