Generac Generator Installation
Reliable Generac Generator Installation in Southeastern Wisconsin
When power outages hit, they can disrupt your life in ways you might not expect. At Mr. Holland’s Home Services, we provide Southeastern Wisconsin homeowners with reliable Generac generator installation, ensuring your home stays powered no matter the circumstances. Here’s everything you need to know about Generac generators, from choosing the right size to understanding how they operate and what’s involved in installation.
How Generac Generators Work
Generac generators are a standby power solution designed to provide electricity when your primary power supply goes out. They connect directly to your home’s electrical system and are powered by natural gas or propane, which ensures a steady and reliable fuel supply. Equipped with an automatic transfer switch, these generators kick on within seconds of detecting a power outage and shut off automatically when power is restored.
What Size Generator Do You Need?
The size of the generator you need depends on your home’s power requirements. If you’re looking to power essential appliances like refrigerators, lights, and HVAC systems, a smaller generator may suffice. For whole-house coverage, a larger model is necessary. Generac offers a wide range of options, and our team at Mr. Holland’s Home Services will conduct an on-site assessment to recommend the best size based on your specific needs.
Generator Sizes Offered
Generac’s line of generators accommodates a variety of household needs. Small generators handle essential circuits, while larger models are capable of powering entire homes. Whether you’re planning for basic functionality or full-scale power, there’s a model suited to your requirements.
What’s Involved in the Installation Process?
Installing a Generac generator is a multi-step process, but our experienced team ensures it’s as seamless as possible:
- Site Assessment: We evaluate your property to determine the best location for the generator. Factors like proper ventilation, proximity to your gas line, and compliance with local building codes are considered.
- Permits and Preparation: Obtaining permits is a crucial step. We handle all the necessary paperwork to ensure the installation complies with local regulations.
- Installation: The generator is securely placed and connected to your home’s electrical and fuel systems. This includes integrating the automatic transfer switch for seamless operation.
- Testing and Walkthrough: Once installed, the system is tested to confirm everything works correctly. We also provide you with a full tutorial on how the system operates.
The installation process typically takes 1 to 2 days, depending on the complexity of your setup and whether upgrades like a new electrical panel are needed.
Operation and Maintenance
Generac generators are designed for convenience and reliability. When power is lost, the automatic transfer switch detects the outage and activates the generator. Once grid power is restored, the system seamlessly switches back and shuts the generator off. Routine maintenance is essential to keep your generator in peak condition. Generac recommends service every 6 to 12 months, which includes oil changes, filter replacements, battery inspections, and full system tests. At Mr. Holland’s Home Services, we offer maintenance plans to make upkeep simple and stress-free.
Financing Options for Your Investment
We understand that a standby generator is a significant investment. To help, we offer flexible financing options to fit various budgets. Our team will walk you through the available plans, ensuring you find a solution that works for your financial situation without sacrificing peace of mind.
