Fort Garland customers on our work
“Rewired the upstairs of a 1920s house in stages so we could keep living here. Careful cuts, small patches, and they kept the dust contained better than expected.”
Homeowner, Fort Garland“The generator install went smoothly from the site visit to the final test. They sized it around what we actually needed to keep running rather than selling us the biggest unit.”
Homeowner, Fort Garland“Called about a breaker that kept tripping and had someone at the house in Fort Garland the same afternoon. Found a loose connection in a junction box the previous owner had buried behind drywall. Explained everything, fixed it, and the price matched the quote.”
Homeowner, Fort GarlandGenerator Installation in Fort Garland: common questions
What size generator does my Fort Garland home need?
It depends on whether you want the whole house or only essential circuits. Furnace, well pump, sump pump, refrigeration and some lighting often fit inside a smaller unit, while air conditioning and electric heat push the size up quickly. We run a load calculation on your actual panel rather than quoting a generic number.
How long does installation take?
Most standby installs in Fort Garland are completed in one to two days for the electrical work, plus gas connection and the utility or gas company sign off where required.
Do I need a transfer switch?
Yes, always. A transfer switch is what keeps generator power from backfeeding onto utility lines, which is a serious hazard for line workers and is not legal anywhere in Colorado. Automatic switches handle it without you being home.
Can you connect a portable generator safely?
Yes. We install an inlet box and a panel interlock so a portable unit can power selected circuits without extension cords running through doorways. It is a fraction of the cost of a standby system and far safer than the alternatives people improvise.
What maintenance does a standby generator need?
They self test weekly on their own. Beyond that plan on annual service, oil and filter changes on schedule, and keeping the enclosure clear of snow and debris. We can check the transfer switch and connections during that service.
