Generator Know-How for Alabama Homeowners
When it comes to whole-home generators, homeowners have a lot of smart questions, especially if they’ve never installed one before. Here are some of the most common topics we get asked, along with expert answers to help you stay informed and prepared.
Air-cooled generators use fans to regulate engine temperature and are typically used for smaller residential needs. Liquid-cooled units circulate coolant through the engine block—like a car—making them better suited for larger homes or heavier electrical demands.
If your home has high energy needs or sensitive equipment, liquid-cooled systems offer more power and durability. Our team can help you determine the right fit for your property.
Yes, whole-home generator installations generally require permits to meet local codes and utility regulations. We handle the permitting process for you, from start to final inspection, so everything is compliant and stress-free. This includes working directly with your utility provider if necessary. You’ll never have to navigate the red tape alone.
Yes, standby generators are designed to run for extended periods, but they do need occasional shutdowns for refueling or maintenance checks. Most systems can run continuously for several days if fuel is available and the generator is in good condition.
That’s why regular service is so important; well-maintained units are more reliable during long-term outages.
It can, especially in areas prone to storms or power outages like Hoover, Pelham, and other neighborhoods to the north and west of downtown Birmingham. Buyers often see a whole-home generator as a premium feature because it adds convenience, safety, and energy independence.
While it may not increase your home’s appraised value significantly, it can make your property more attractive and marketable. Plus, it protects your home’s systems and appliances from surge-related damage.
Generators need periodic oil and filter changes, battery testing, and inspections of the fuel system, transfer switch, and electrical components. We recommend annual service, or semiannual if the unit runs often.
Our maintenance plans include all of this, plus priority service when you need it most. Staying on top of maintenance keeps your generator ready and reliable when the power goes out.
