What size generator do I need for my home?
It depends on what you want to power. A whole-home standby generator is sized to your panel and essential loads — heating, fridge, sump pump, lighting, and more. We perform a load assessment and recommend the right capacity so you are neither under- nor over-sized.
How does an automatic transfer switch work?
An automatic transfer switch detects a power outage and starts your standby generator within seconds, then switches your home over to generator power automatically. When utility power returns, it switches back and shuts the generator down — all without you lifting a finger.
Which generator brands do you install?
We install and wire leading standby brands such as Generac, Kohler, and Cummins, as well as portable generator inlets and interlocks. We will recommend the best fit for your home, budget, and fuel preference.
Do you handle permits and gas connection coordination?
Yes. We pull the electrical permit, install the transfer switch and wiring to BC Electrical Code, arrange inspection, and coordinate with a licensed gas fitter for natural gas or propane connections where required.
How much does a standby generator installation cost?
The total depends on the generator size, fuel type, transfer switch, and the electrical and gas work involved. We provide a detailed written quote after a site assessment so you have a clear, complete price up front.
