What Should I Consider When Planning a Generator Installation?

Planning a generator installation can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help. Our team at GoldStar Electric provides personalized guidance and friendly, honest advice every step of the way. We can listen to your needs, answer all your questions, and work with you to find the optimal generator solution for your home or business. Our electricians are dedicated to helping you make an informed decision and feel confident in your choice.

Here are some factors we can help you consider:

• Generator size. We can help determine the right size generator for your specific needs. A generator that's too small will not power everything you want, while one that's too large will waste money. We can calculate the power requirements of your essential appliances and systems to find the ideal fit.
• Fuel type. Generac generators can run on various fuel types, including natural gas, liquid propane, and diesel. We can review the pros and cons of each with you and consider factors like availability, cost, and maintenance. Our team can help you choose the best and most convenient option for your property.
• Placement. The location of the generator is critical for safety and performance. We can help you select a spot that meets all local codes and regulations, is far enough from windows and doors to prevent carbon monoxide entry, and is accessible for maintenance.
• Automatic transfer switches (ATS). We can walk you through the benefits of an ATS. An ATS automatically detects a power outage, starts the generator, and transfers power to your home. When the utility power returns, it switches everything back and shuts down the generator. This is designed to provide seamless, hands-free operation.
• Wiring and electrical load. Our electricians will assess your home's or business's existing electrical system and plan the necessary wiring and panel modifications or installations. We can make sure your new generator integrates seamlessly and safely with your existing electrical setup and is equipped to handle the load without issues.
• Permitting and regulations. Local governments have specific rules for generator installations. Our team is familiar with how to successfully obtain and navigate all the necessary permits and inspections in Katy, Cypress, Spring, Sugarland, Pecan Grove, Brookshire, and beyond. We can verify that your installation complies with all applicable building and electrical codes. Put simply, we take care of the paperwork so that you don't have to.

How Long Does Generator Installation Usually Take?

The physical installation of a Generac generator generally only takes a few hours. However, the preparation process, which includes securing the necessary permits, preparing your electrical system and gas line, and obtaining your chosen generator, can potentially take several weeks. We can give you a transparent estimate after our initial assessment.
