What is a Generator?

Generator installation is the process of adding a standby backup power system to your home so essential circuits and equipment keep running safely, reliably, and automatically when utility power goes out. This can include evaluating your home’s electrical needs, selecting the right generator size, installing the standby generator and transfer switch, making the necessary electrical connections, and ensuring the entire system is code-compliant and ready to operate when needed. For homeowners, generator installation is often about protecting comfort, convenience, and peace of mind—making sure your lights, refrigeration, heating and cooling systems, sump pumps, and other critical equipment stay powered during outages while helping keep your home safe, functional, and prepared for the unexpected.
