Whole-Home Generators

Standby power planned around the circuits that matter during an outage.

Introduction

Whole-home standby generator installations, from siting and transfer equipment through the electrical connections and commissioning.

A standby generator installation is as much a planning exercise as an installation. Which circuits need to stay live, where the unit can sit, how the transfer equipment ties into the existing service and what the fuel supply looks like all shape the result.

Precision Power Electric handles the electrical side of the installation and coordinates with the other work the project requires.

Typical applications

Where this work usually applies.

  • Whole-home standby generator installation
  • Automatic transfer switch installation
  • Backup for essential circuits and selected loads
  • Generator provisions during new construction
  • Panel and service work required for standby power
  • Generator additions at existing homes

Project considerations

What shapes the scope of the work.

These are the practical factors worth confirming before pricing or scheduling a project of this type.

What needs to stay powered

Whole-house coverage and essential-circuit coverage lead to different equipment and different costs. It is the first decision to make.

Siting the unit

Placement depends on clearances, the distance back to the service and how close the unit sits to living space.

Transfer equipment

The transfer switch and how it ties into the existing panel determine what the changeover looks like during an outage.

Fuel supply

Natural gas or propane supply has to be arranged, and the fuel work is coordinated with the electrical installation.
