Generator Installation FAQs
When determining what size generator you will need, it is important to imagine your home without power. Some power outages are short and only last a few hours, while some could last for days or weeks. It is important to think about your day to day life and what is your family going to need to have access to during a power outage. There are smaller generator products available to cover just the essential circuits in your home. There are also larger systems that can cover virtually all of your home. Most generators have a transfer switch that contains a pre-determined number of circuits based on your generator’s power rating. Each circuit directly matches a circuit on your circuit breaker panel. This will provide direct electricity to your pre-determined circuits. Larger units that provide power to the whole house will ensure that no circuit is left un-powered, so all appliances and electricity in your house should be available every minute of the power outage.
Yes, all generators need to be maintained. The periodic maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, allows for maximum performance and assures the reliability of your generator. It is recommended that you have your generator unit serviced approximately every six months or for every 100 hours of generator operation. This maintenance will help prolong the life of your generator and make sure that any issues with the generator are resolved before a power outage exposes the problem.
It is not recommended to install a generator by yourself. While some generator systems may come prepackaged and pre-wired with thorough installation instructions, it is still recommended that a generator specialist or licensed contractor installs your unit. There are state, local, and national electrical codes that generators, especially non pre-wired or larger systems, need to follow. Working with a generator specialist or contractor is the best way to ensure that you are following those codes. Also, because generators are electrical systems, it is much safer to have an experienced professional handle the installation.
Generators can be purchased from most home improvement retailers, or through any local generator specialist. It is recommended to purchase your generator through a generator specialist, as they can provide expertise in the generator selection in addition to installation.

More Generator Installation FAQs
A backup home generator is an electrical system that automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical system in the event of a power outage. A backup home generator operates whether you are in your home or away. The generator operates on natural gas or propane and sits outside of your home, similar to an air conditioning unit. Once power returns to your home, the generator will automatically turn off until the next power outage.
No, a backup home generator is not designed to replace utility services. Generators are built to provide backup electricity in the event that utility power is not available due to a power outage. Not only are generator units not built to provide primary power, but the fuel costs to run the generator year round would make it more expensive than utility power.
If properly maintained, the engine of your generator can last for over 20 years of power outages. It is important to keep in mind that these units need routine maintenance every 6 months or for every 100 hours of use. The reason that these engines can last for so long is that they are only used occasionally, and not 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.
An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) senses the interruption to the power supply in your home and transfers power from the primary source (such as utility power) to the secondary source (your generator). When power is restored, the automatic transfer switch will transfer power from the generator back to the primary source of energy.
