Generator Questions — Answered

It depends on what you want to keep running. A 14 kW unit typically covers essentials — HVAC, fridge, lights, and outlets. A 22–26 kW unit can run a whole home including electric range and water heater. We size every job based on your actual loads, not a generic square-footage rule.
Yes. Most generator installs require running a new gas line from the meter, properly sized for the generator's peak demand. We handle the gas line, the electrical, the transfer switch, and the permitting — all in one project.
Most residential installs are completed in one to two days once permits are issued. Permitting timelines vary by jurisdiction — we handle that paperwork and give you a realistic start date upfront.
Yes. Standby generator installations require both electrical and gas permits in Oregon, plus an inspection from the local jurisdiction. We pull all permits and schedule the inspections — you don't have to chase any of it.
Once a year, at minimum. Annual service includes an oil and filter change, battery and coolant check, and a live load test to verify the unit will start and carry the rated load. We offer maintenance plans so you don't have to remember.
