Home Standby Generator Installation

Installing a whole‑home generator is a precise process that starts with a load analysis and ends with a live failover test. We handle every step:

1. Site survey & load calculation. We size the kW to your home’s real demand, including HVAC, well pumps, fridges, medical devices, and EV chargers.
2. Fuel plan. Natural gas or propane are most common in Chatham County; diesel serves larger homes or light commercial.
3. Permits & code compliance. We coordinate with local inspectors and your HOA so set‑backs, ventilation, and noise rules are met.
4. Pad, placement, and clearances. Proper distances from doors, windows, and intakes protect your family and meet manufacturer specs.
5. Automatic transfer switch (ATS). We install and program the ATS for seamless switchover and safe backfeed isolation.
6. Startup & training. We run full‑load tests, enroll your unit for warranty, and show you how to check status, exercise cycles, and alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How long does a home standby installation take?

Most installs take 1–2 days plus permit and inspection lead times. We handle the paperwork and schedule inspections for you.

Q. What size generator do I need?

We perform a load calculation based on your HVAC, water heater, pumps, appliances, and lifestyle to recommend the right kW for whole‑home or essential circuits.

Q. How often should I service my generator?

Annually for most homes, or every 200 hours of runtime. Storm‑heavy seasons may warrant mid‑year checkups.

Q. Can I finance a new generator?

Yes, flexible options are available for installs and replacements. Ask during your assessment.

Q. Is natural gas or propane better?

Where gas is available, it’s convenient and low‑maintenance. Propane suits rural homes and provides long runtime with a correctly sized tank.

Q. Will a generator run my HVAC?

With proper sizing and a smart ATS, yes. We prioritize HVAC and other critical loads and can shed non‑essentials automatically if needed.

Q. Do I need HOA approval?

Many HOAs require placement approval. We provide photos, spec sheets, and a simple site plan to streamline approval.

Q. What maintenance prevents most failures?

Oil and filter changes, battery checks, clean air/fuel filters, and regular exercise cycles prevent the majority of nuisance faults and failed starts.

Q. How noisy are modern standby generators?

Modern units are significantly quieter than older models. We also consider placement, enclosures, and exhaust orientation to keep sound levels neighbor‑friendly.

Q. Can I add monitoring?

Yes. Many brands offer connected apps for status, alerts, and usage, so you always know your system is ready.
