What Changes When Your Backup System Goes Live

Your generator installation begins with a site assessment to determine fuel source, placement, and load requirements in Fayetteville. We install the transfer switch at your main electrical panel, wire the generator to the switch, and test the system under load to confirm it starts and transfers power correctly. Whole-home units connect to natural gas or propane lines, while portable connections use a weatherproof inlet box and interlock device.

After installation, your home stays lit and functional during outages without extension cords running through doorways or manual fuel trips in the middle of the night. Storm-related outages make backup power a critical local need. Your heating system continues to run, your sump pump stays active, and your security system remains online.

We label all circuits clearly, provide operating instructions, and schedule follow-up maintenance reminders so your system remains ready year after year. Transfer switches are installed to meet current electrical codes, and all connections are torqued to manufacturer specifications. The system does not power unnecessary loads unless you choose a larger unit sized for whole-home coverage.
