How to Choose the Right Home Generator Installer
Do you perform an in-home load calculation?
A professional will measure your home’s electrical needs to recommend the correct generator size. Avoid any company that offers a quote over the phone without a site visit.
Are you licensed and insured?
Ask for proof of electrical and, if applicable, plumbing/gas licenses. Proper insurance protects you from liability during the installation.
Do you handle the entire process?
A turnkey installer will manage the concrete pad preparation, fuel line connection (natural gas or propane), and all electrical work, including the automatic transfer switch.
Do you offer preventative maintenance plans?
Like any engine, a generator requires regular service. A good provider will offer a maintenance plan to ensure your investment is always ready to run.
