Steamboat Springs 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, Steamboat Springs“Our restaurant kitchen kept losing a circuit during dinner service. They came out after close, found the problem, and had it repaired before we opened the next day.”
Restaurant owner, Steamboat Springs“Upgraded our panel from 100 to 200 amps ahead of an EV charger install. Done in a day, permit handled, inspector signed off with no issues. They also cleaned up better than the last three contractors we have had here.”
Homeowner, Steamboat SpringsGenerator Installation in Steamboat Springs: common questions
What size generator does my Steamboat Springs 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 Steamboat Springs 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.
