If you are concerned about the loss of electrical power during a storm, consider home generator installation. A generator will ensure that your home receives power during outages, keeping your lights on and ensuring that your appliances stay powered, and critical medical equipment remains functional. Here are some things to understand about the generator installation process so that you know what to expect when the time comes to have your unit installed.
Getting Started with the Installation Process
During the planning process, you will need to choose the right generator for your specific needs. The professional electrician will help you choose the right size and type of generator to suit the specifics of your home and your budget. The electrician will also evaluate the electrical system inside your home so that the generator can be installed in the proper location to ensure an efficient connection to the existing wiring. A transfer switch will also be installed to switch your electric power from the utility company over to your generator.
Ensuring a Reliable Power Supply
After your generator has been installed, it is essential to schedule routine maintenance appointments to ensure that the unit is still running efficiently. During your routine maintenance check, the electrician will change the oil, check the fuel levels in the generator, and test the generator to make sure that it is in good working condition. At the first sign of a power outage, your generator will kick in without any interruption to your home’s power and will remain on until your regular power is restored.
