Generator Installation in Granite, CO

Colorado weather takes the grid down more often than most people plan for. A standby generator in Granite starts on its own within seconds of an outage, runs the circuits that matter, and shuts down when utility power returns, without anyone dragging a portable unit out of the shed in a snowstorm.

Reviews

Granite customers on our work

★★★★★

“Straightforward from the first phone call. Gave me a real window, texted when on the way, and the quote was the price. That should be normal and somehow it is not.”

Homeowner, Granite
★★★★★

“We lost power to half the house on a Sunday night. They answered on the second ring and had a truck out before 10pm. No extra charge for the hour. Hard to overstate how much that mattered with a newborn in the house.”

Residential customer, Granite
★★★★★

“Our shop needed a lighting retrofit and new circuits for equipment. They worked two weekends so we never closed. Invoices matched the estimate line for line.”

Generator Installation in Granite: common questions

What size generator does my Granite 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 Granite 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.
