Why might a generator struggle to run essential equipment?

Equipment can need more power at startup than it uses while running. We account for that demand when assessing generator capacity.

Planning generator installation in Avon

Generator installation in Avon starts with a decision about which equipment needs backup power. You might want to support a refrigerator and lighting, while a business may have different priorities. The choice affects the generator's capacity and the electrical work at your property.

We recommend choosing essential loads before selecting equipment, so the plan reflects what you actually need during an outage. A generator won't fix an existing wiring fault by itself. If your concern is a tripping breaker, we'll discuss the electrical problem as a separate part of the job.

  • Identify the equipment you want to run during an outage.
  • Tell us about equipment that draws extra power when it starts.
  • Show us where the electrical panel and proposed generator location are.

Questions about generator installation

For Generator Installation, what size generator can power my essential circuits?

A load calculation helps GMB Electric determine the generator capacity your essential circuits need. The answer depends on what you want to power and the demand of that equipment. Some motors draw extra power at startup. We'll discuss your selected equipment and account for that demand when assessing the setup.

How should I prepare my property for the work?

Clear access to your electrical panel and proposed generator area helps us assess the work. Move personal items away from those areas before our visit. Let us know about access restrictions or equipment that needs to stay powered. We'll discuss any further preparation once we understand your property and the planned connection.

Which details should I confirm before agreeing to the work for Generator Installation?

The proposed generator capacity and the circuits it will support are key details to confirm. Ask us to explain the electrical work included in your quote as well. Your priorities may change the scope. For example, adding a large appliance to your backup plan can affect the capacity needed and the connection work.

When scheduling Generator Installation, when should I ask about a panel upgrade?

A panel upgrade is worth discussing if the existing panel can't accommodate the proposed generator work. We'll assess the panel as part of the property's electrical setup. An upgrade isn't automatic for every installation. The panel's condition and the connection plan help us determine what electrical work your property needs.

Why does the generator location matter to the quote?

The generator location affects the electrical route between the equipment and the property. A longer or less accessible route can change the work involved. We'll discuss the proposed location and assess access before setting the scope. You can also point out features of the property that might affect the route.
