Q1
We specialize in whole-home standby generator installations. These units are permanently installed and automatically activate when utility power is lost, providing uninterrupted backup power for your home or business.
Q2
Yes, most standby generator installations in Garner and Wake County require a permit. Our team manages the permitting process as part of your installation to ensure everything meets local code requirements.

A transfer switch safely disconnects your home from the utility grid when your generator activates, preventing dangerous backfeed that could harm utility workers or damage your electrical system. It is a required component of any proper generator installation.
Q4
Sizing depends on your square footage, appliances, and power priorities. During our consultation, we evaluate your electrical panel and usage patterns to recommend a generator capacity suited to your specific needs.
Q5
Yes, which is why our electricians inspect your panel before installation. In some cases, a panel upgrade may be needed to accommodate the new load. We identify any such requirements upfront during the site review.
