The Parts of a Generator Install
Site and Pad
We choose the location with you, then form and pour a concrete pad for the generator.
Fuel Line
Our plumbers run a gas line from the meter, sized for the generator, and pressure test it.
Connections
The generator is connected to the transfer switch that ties it to your home.
Startup
We start the generator, check it and test the changeover from utility power.
Where the Generator Can Go
A standby generator sits outside. It needs clearance from windows, doors and anything that can burn.
It also helps to keep it close to the gas meter and the electrical panel. Shorter runs mean less pipe and wire.
