Residential Standby Generator Installation in Nashville and Middle Tennessee

Residential Standby Generator Installation

An automatic generator that starts itself in seconds, so a storm never becomes a house full of spoiled food and dark rooms.

A standby generator sits outside your home, connects to your natural gas line or propane tank, and starts on its own when the power goes out. Within seconds, an automatic transfer switch reconnects your home to generator power, and when the utility returns it switches back and the generator shuts itself down. No cords, no refueling, no waking up at 2 a.m. to pull a starter rope.

Our job is to make that simple experience real: choosing the right size and brand for your loads, setting the unit where it is safe and quiet, handling permits, gas, concrete or composite pad and wiring, and then showing you exactly how it works before we leave.

Questions

Residential Standby Generators FAQ

How long does a standby generator take to start?

Most automatic standby generators start and transfer power within seconds of an outage. Exact timing depends on the unit.

How loud is it?

It is louder than a central air conditioner when running at full speed, which is why we choose the location carefully. Most units run a quiet weekly self-test at a lower speed.

How long does installation take?

Permitting comes first. Once approved, many residential installs take one to a few days of on-site work, depending on gas, pad and electrical details.

Do I need a permit?

In most places, yes. Electrical and gas work for a generator are permitted and inspected. We handle that for you.
