Our technicians evaluate soil conditions, drainage patterns, and proximity to your home's natural gas and electrical infrastructure. We pour a reinforced concrete foundation that meets Generac specifications and local building codes, this foundation is critical for unit stability and longevity. While the concrete cures sufficiently for equipment placement, we proceed with the remaining installation phases.
We install proper shutoff valves, pressure regulators, and test all connections with specialized equipment to ensure zero leaks. This is not work for unlicensed contractors: improper gas connections create serious safety hazards.
Our team installs the transfer switch between your main electrical panel and the generator, enabling seamless automatic switchover during power outages. This component detects utility power loss within milliseconds and signals the generator to start, transferring critical circuits to generator power without manual intervention. We integrate this with your home's existing electrical system while maintaining proper load calculations and circuit protection.
As an authorized Generac dealer, we dispatch a licensed master plumber prepared with the materials, connectors, breakers, conduit, and specialty tools required for complete installation. This single-visit approach eliminates the frustration of return trips for missing components or additional parts runs, a common problem with less-prepared contractors. Our technicians arrive with everything needed to complete your installation in one day.
The 6 to 8 hour timeline assumes standard residential configurations with straightforward gas line routing and accessible electrical panels. We provide detailed time estimates during the initial consultation after evaluating your specific property layout and existing infrastructure.
Upon completion, we conduct full system testing, walk you through operation and maintenance procedures, and register your unit with Generac for warranty purposes. The entire process delivers peace of mind knowing that your home's essential systems (HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, and water heating) remain operational during grid outages.
