Generac standby generator systems
Sizing, installation and transfer-switch integration — business continuity for commercial facilities and whole-home standby for residences.
Power that does not wait for a phone call
A standby generator is a permanently installed machine wired into the building, not a portable unit dragged out of the garage with extension cords. It sits on a pad, runs on natural gas or propane, and is tied to the service through a transfer switch that does the switching for you.
For a business, the calculation is downtime. Refrigeration, point of sale, servers, security and life-safety circuits all stop when the utility does, and the cost of that adds up faster than most owners expect. For a home it is heat, water and a working refrigerator through a storm rather than a week of spoilage.
We size, install and integrate Generac systems, and because we are a licensed electrical contractor rather than a generator dealer, the service work, panel changes and circuit reorganisation the installation needs are all handled by the same crew.
How an installation runs
Load assessment
We work out what actually has to stay energised, and what that draws, before anyone quotes a model number.
Sizing and siting
The unit is sized to the assessed load and sited for clearances, exhaust and fuel routing.
Service and transfer switch
Transfer switch installed and integrated with the service, with any panel or circuit reorganisation the design needs.
Commissioning
The system is started, tested under load and handed over with the transfer sequence demonstrated.
Generators, answered
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want running. A whole-home unit carries the full service; a smaller unit covers essentials — heat, refrigeration, well pump, a few circuits. We size from an actual load assessment rather than a guess, because an undersized unit nuisance-trips and an oversized one is money spent for nothing.
Does a standby generator start on its own?
Yes. A standby system with an automatic transfer switch senses the outage, starts the generator and transfers the load without anyone being home. When utility power returns it transfers back and shuts the unit down.
Do you install commercial standby as well as residential?
Both. Commercial facilities use standby power for business continuity — keeping refrigeration, servers, security and life-safety circuits alive through an outage. Residential installs are whole-home or essential-circuit standby.
Why Generac?
We specialise in Generac equipment, so sizing, installation and transfer-switch integration are all done against a product line we know well rather than whatever turned up on the truck.
