Residential Generator Installation

Generation Installation Kitchener Ontario

We offer electrical services related to generator and panel installation:

  • Conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the optimal location for the generator, considering factors such as proximity to the electrical panel, ventilation, and compliance with local regulations.

  • Assess the existing electrical panel to determine its capacity and compatibility with the generator. This may involve upgrading the panel or installing a transfer switch for seamless generator integration.

  • Calculate the power requirements of the home to determine the appropriate generator size. This involves assessing the electrical load, including essential circuits and appliances, to ensure the generator can meet the demand during a power outage.

  • Obtain the necessary permits from local authorities for generator installation. Ensure compliance with building codes, electrical codes, and any other relevant regulations.

  • Install a transfer switch to connect the generator to the home's electrical panel. The transfer switch ensures a safe and automatic transition between utility power and generator power during an outage.

  • Install the necessary wiring from the generator to the transfer switch and from the transfer switch to the electrical panel. Ensure proper sizing, conduit installation, and secure connections.

  • Install an automatic transfer switch that monitors the utility power and automatically activates the generator when an outage is detected. This ensures a seamless transition to backup power without manual intervention.

  • Connect the generator to its fuel source, whether it's natural gas, propane, or diesel. Ensure proper fuel lines and connections, adhering to safety standards.

  • Install an exhaust system for the generator to safely vent exhaust gases outside the home. This includes ensuring proper clearances and compliance with local regulations.

  • Conduct comprehensive testing of the generator system, transfer switch, and automatic transfer functionality. Verify that the system operates as intended and can effectively provide backup power during an outage.

  • Educate the homeowner on the proper operation, maintenance, and safety considerations of the generator system. Provide instructions on periodic testing and maintenance tasks.

  • Offer post-installation support, addressing any concerns or issues that may arise after the generator system is in use.
