Benefits of Generators
There are plenty of advantages to having a whole-home generator. Just a few perks of these systems include:
- Reliable backup power: Generators ensure your power doesn’t stay off for long during a local power outage.
- Continued operation of essential systems: A generator provides power to your refrigerator, HVAC system, and other essentials, so your home stays safer from busted pipes and other issues.
- Convenience: During a power outage, a generator will power up your outlets and lights, allowing you to keep using a computer, charging a phone, or watching TV.
Enjoy all the perks of a whole-home generator. Contact us online or call to schedule installation.
Whole-Home Generator Installation
Many homeowners have a generator ready to go in case of an outage. However, these systems need servicing occasionally and may even need to be replaced. That’s where we come in.
Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric can visit your home, review your generator, and determine if a new one would be the safest and most helpful way. If so, we’ll discuss various generator options and schedule a new system installation date.
Our Generator Installation Process
Whether you’re considering a propane or natural gas generator, you might need to obtain a permit before starting work.
For whole-home generator installation, we’ll take you through the following process:
- Consultation: Our electricians can explore fuel pricing in your area and help explore natural gas vs. propane options.
- Placement selection and prep: Whole-house generator installation is more complex than the process for portable models. You will need a transfer switch for on-demand operation, and you might have to update your circuit breakers and wiring.
- Installation: Power needs vary, so discuss power consumption and any new major appliances you might add ahead of time, and avoid DIY installation that can void your warranty and raise insurance premiums. Keeping you and your family secure during severe weather or a grid outage is a top priority, and powering your HVAC, alarm, fridge, and gadgets safely is the next.
Portable vs. Whole-Home Generators
There can be some confusion between the types of generators on the market. It’s essential to understand the difference between portable and whole-home generators.
Portable generators are great systems for minimal electrical needs. These are commonly used on camping trips or worksites to provide just enough power for a few devices.
Whole-home generators are meant for the whole home, powering up every central system in the house. They may also have enough power to provide electricity for entertainment systems and other non-essentials.
Both types of generators provide for a specific need, but whole-home generators are preferable for situations in which the entire property has no power.
