Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a whole-home generator or just essentials?
Many homeowners only need heat, fridge, sump pump and internet backed up, which is far cheaper than whole-home. We'll help you decide based on your priorities and budget.
Can you install an EV charger in a Burnaby condo or townhouse?
Often yes — it depends on your building's electrical capacity and strata approval. We assess feasibility, design load management and coordinate with your strata.
