The Customer’s Concern

Our customer had grown tired of dealing with power outages that disrupted their daily life and posed a risk to their home’s security system. With winter approaching, they wanted a dependable backup power source to keep their essential appliances running without interruption.

The Installation Process

When we arrived at the customer’s home, our first step was to assess the existing electrical system. The home had an older panel, and after determining that it could handle the added load, we selected an appropriate generator size. Here’s what our process involved:

• Selecting the right generator: We chose a generator large enough to power critical systems such as HVAC, lights, kitchen appliances, and the home’s security system.
• Upgrading the gas meters: To ensure the generator had sufficient fuel, we coordinated with the homeowner to upgrade the gas supply if needed.
• Automatic transfer switch installation: To make the generator fully automated, we installed an automatic transfer switch. This allows the generator to kick in the moment the power goes out without any manual effort.
• Rewiring and grounding: We rewired the home’s panel to integrate the generator and ensured that the grounding system was up to current code for safety.
• Programming and testing: After the physical installation, we tested the system and programmed the generator to ensure a seamless handover from the main grid to the backup system when needed.

Benefits of the Backup Generator

Once installed, the backup generator provided immediate peace of mind. The homeowner could now rest easy knowing that their house would never be without power, even during extended outages. Critical systems like heating, refrigeration, and security would stay online without interruption. The automatic transfer switch made the process even more convenient by ensuring that the generator activates without manual intervention.
