How We Work

Your generator is sized to your home's electrical needs, installed with code compliance, and ready to activate the moment power fails.

1

Load Assessment

We evaluate your home's electrical load and power needs. Tucson's summer cooling demands mean accurate sizing prevents future upgrades.

2

Site Preparation

We secure permits, pour a concrete pad with proper drainage for monsoon runoff, and run fuel lines. Everything meets Tucson setback codes.

3

Install & Connect

Licensed electricians install the generator, wire the transfer switch to your electrical panel, and connect gas or propane fuel lines.

4

Testing & Handoff

We test auto-start, verify all circuits, confirm fuel delivery, and walk you through operation and maintenance schedules.

What We Offer

Whole-Home Standby Generators

A permanent generator runs automatically when grid power fails. Natural gas or propane fuel feeds your generator continuously, so no refueling is needed. Tucson families with central air, refrigeration, or medical equipment rely on whole-home units for uninterrupted comfort and safety.

Transfer switches let you choose which circuits run on generator power, balancing load and fuel efficiency.

Electrical panel upgrade

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Older homes in Tucson may have undersized electrical panels that can't support both modern cooling loads and a new generator. We upgrade panels to meet current code and generator capacity.

Panel upgrades include installing or replacing breakers, running new circuits, and adding main disconnect switches for safety. This work is essential before generator installation in many Tucson properties.

Generator Service & Maintenance

Annual maintenance and load tests keep your generator ready. Tucson's heat and dust require extra attention to air filters, fuel connections, and battery charge.

We test auto-start functions, verify fuel flow, check transfer switch operation, and replace worn parts before failure.
