Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our electrical services or generator installation? Here are answers to the most common ones we hear.

Call Us With Questions
What size generator do I need for my home?

It depends on the square footage of your home and what you want to power. A typical home needs a 16-22kW generator for whole-home coverage. During our free on-site evaluation, we perform a load calculation to determine the exact size you need — so you're never over- or under-powered.

How long does a generator installation take?

Most residential generator installations are completed in 1-2 days. This includes setting the concrete pad, connecting the gas line, installing the automatic transfer switch, and running all electrical connections. We handle all permits and schedule the final inspection.

Do I need a permit for electrical work?

Yes, most electrical work in West Virginia requires a permit and inspection. We handle all permitting and coordinate inspections so you don't have to. This ensures your work is up to code and your insurance remains valid.

Do you offer financing for generator installations?

We understand a generator is a significant investment. Contact us to discuss available payment options and financing plans that can make standby power affordable for your budget.
