Generator Installation in Placerville, CO

Placerville customers on our work
“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, Placerville“Installed a Tesla Wall Connector in the garage and ran a clean conduit line I actually do not mind looking at. Checked our panel capacity first instead of just assuming. Charging overnight has been flawless since.”
EV owner, Placerville“Booked outlet work and a ceiling fan. The tech arrived on time, wore boot covers without being asked, and finished faster than quoted. Booked them again for the basement.”
Repeat customer, PlacervilleGenerator Installation in Placerville: common questions
What size generator does my Placerville 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 Placerville 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.
