Service overview
What you get with a standby install
Home standby and whole-house coverage planning starts with your loads, fuel path, transfer equipment, and inspection path - not just a pad pour.
Replacement projects start with your current unit, fuel source, and electrical setup so we reuse what still works and upgrade what does not.
- Site walkthrough and load discussion
- Home standby or whole-house coverage planning
- Equipment and transfer switch planning
- Permit and utility coordination for your jurisdiction
- Installation, testing, and startup orientation
Process
From site visit to startup
The sequence below turns home generator installation intent into a permitted, tested system for your property.
- Share your goals, home size range, and outage priorities
- Review natural gas or propane fuel paths and placement constraints
- Confirm permit and utility coordination needs, including Snohomish County PUD when interconnection rules apply
- Complete install work (typically 1 to 3 days once the job is ready) and walk through operation
Types & models
Standby types we size for your home
We plan home standby and whole-house coverage against your panel and priorities - essential circuits or broader outage coverage.
Air-cooled and liquid-cooled standby designs are matched to load, runtime, and placement. Fuel paths stay natural gas or propane based on what fits the property.
Brand and model options are narrowed after that plan is clear - Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, or Cummins - so the unit fits the site, not the other way around.

Home Generator Repair
When a standby unit will not start or stalls under load, we diagnose the system and explain what needs fixing.
Common issues include batteries, fuel delivery, and performance faults under load. After approved repairs, we test the unit so it is ready for the next outage.
Generator Repair ServiceHome Generator Maintenance
Planned service visits keep standby systems ready between outages and catch small problems before they become no-start events.
Visits typically include inspection, manufacturer-guided service items, and a readiness check. You leave with clear notes on what was done and any follow-up to watch.
Generator Maintenance ServiceAutomatic Transfer Switch Installation
When utility power fails, an automatic transfer switch starts the backup path and connects approved loads safely.
Work includes panel review, switch sizing for your standby plan, and testing after install. Correct wiring protects both your home electrical system and the generator.
