Generator Installation

Do you live in an area that’s prone to blackouts or power disturbances? There’s no need to leave your home or business vulnerable to issues with the electrical grid. Mr. Electric offers dependable generator installation services so you can have a reliable electrical system no matter what happens on the outside. Whether you’re struggling with a sudden storm or an outage, your generator will keep your property safe. Keep reading to learn how to choose the right system and keep it in quality condition for years to come. 

Why Investing in a Generator Is Worth It

Power outages happen unexpectedly, thanks to storms, grid failures, planned maintenance, or storms. Property owners can protect their assets and their loved ones by investing in a standby generator that will automatically kick in within seconds of power loss.

With a generator in place, homeowners can continue relying on their lighting, HVAC, and security systems and avoid losing a refrigerator full of food. Businesses can continue to operate and keep their doors open during a time when others have no choice but to close and lose productivity and customer trust. In addition to the benefits of energy independence and self-sufficiency, there are also financial incentives for investing in a generator. You’ll save money by preventing food spoilage and home damage, and you’ll enjoy an increase in your property value if you ever choose to sell. 

Choosing the Right Generator for Your Home  

There are a lot of generators available on the market, so it can be difficult to choose which one will work best for your needs. Some important factors to consider when selecting one include: 

  • Type: Portable generators may be the most affordable, but there are limitations, like the inability to use them indoors. Standby generators require a more substantial investment but are the most reliable and powerful. 
  • Size: Calculate your power needs based on appliances and the square footage of your home or business. 
  • Fuel: Do you want to use natural gas, propane, or diesel? 

What to Expect During Installation

Once you know what kind of generator best fits your needs, it’s also helpful to know what to expect during the installation process. Before work can begin, a load assessment should be performed by a qualified electrician to make sure that your essential appliances and systems will keep running during an outage. This will help determine the appropriate generator size. The generator site will also be selected to ensure proper ventilation and noise level. Building codes or permits may also be required before the installation can be completed. Next, a concrete pad or leveled ground surface will need to be established to support your standby unit. Next, an experienced electrician in Sandy, UT will handle the electrical connections and fuel line installations. Afterward, a safety inspection will be performed to confirm compliance with fire safety regulations and electrical codes, and the generator will be tested so that it operates correctly in a crisis. 

Keeping Your Generator Running 

Once the installation is complete, it’s the property owner's responsibility to keep things working through regular maintenance and proper usage habits. Include your generator in routine annual inspections. Make sure to regularly check your oil levels, filters, and electrical connections for signs of trouble.

It’s also a good idea to test your generator occasionally to make sure that it can handle the expected power demand during an outage. If you need a tune-up or repair, call a professional and schedule the service instead of putting it off to a future date.

Review

Mitch and Cesar from Mr. Electric were so wonderful to work with. We had a tricky project for them that required a lot of scaffolding. They were able to troubleshoot and figure out how to make it work in order to get the job done. They were both so kind, friendly, and professional. I will certainly be using Mr. Electric again for any future electrician needs!

I got an estimate from three companies to install an outlet in my office floor. Of the three, Mr. Electric offered the best price, and included bonuses in the deal: a free comprehensive home inspection, and a free membership. I know who I'm calling from now on.

Great experience with this company. Zack came out and analyzed the problem with our doorbell camera and gave us several options. I will call them anytime I need electrical help in my home.
