FAQ Answers from Your Local & Licensed Generator Company
When it comes to generator installation, generator repair, and generator sales in Homewood, we know homeowners have questions, and we’re here to provide clear, expert answers. Whether you’re considering a new system or maintaining an existing one, these FAQs cover the most common topics our customers ask about before and after installation.
The cost of a whole-home generator depends on several factors, including the size of your home, how much power you want to back up, and whether an air‑cooled or liquid‑cooled system is the best fit. Installation requirements also play a role, such as electrical upgrades, gas line work, and the placement of the unit on your property.
Other factors that influence pricing include:
- The generator model and power capacity
- The automatic transfer switch
- Electrical and fuel connections
- Permitting and local code requirements
- Labor and installation materials
Because every home is different, we start with a detailed evaluation and provide a customized quote. We also offer financing options and can help you take advantage of any current Generac promotions to make your investment more manageable.
Generator sizing depends on how much of your home you want to power during an outage. Some homeowners prefer to cover essentials like lights, HVAC, refrigerator, and medical devices. Others want full-home coverage.
Our licensed technicians will assess your home’s energy usage, key appliances, and electrical panel to provide a custom recommendation. We’ll also help you choose between an air-cooled or liquid-cooled unit based on your load requirements and budget.
In most cases, yes. Generator installations must meet Jefferson County and the City of Homewood building and electrical codes.
This includes securing:
- Electrical permits
- Gas permits (for natural gas or propane systems)
- Utility coordination (if applicable)
- Final inspection by a local code authority
We handle all permitting and inspections for you, so there’s no stress or red tape to deal with. You’ll get a compliant, code-approved install without lifting a finger.
Just like a car, standby generators need routine care to stay reliable. We recommend annual maintenance (or semiannual for frequent use).
Typical service includes:
- Oil and filter changes
- Battery inspection and voltage checks
- Transfer switch inspection
- Fuel system and air filter check
- Diagnostic testing and firmware updates
We offer maintenance plans that include all of this, plus priority repair service if anything goes wrong during a storm.
Whole-home standby generators include an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that detects outages and powers your home within seconds. You don’t have to flip a switch or be home for the system to activate.
Once utility power is restored, the ATS automatically switches your home back on and powers down the generator. Our team tests and configures the ATS as part of every installation to guarantee seamless, no-hassle transitions.
