Generator Installation
Keep the essentials in mind before the power goes out. Dave helps homeowners in Bothell and the Seattle Eastside plan the electrical side of a home generator installation, from the loads you want to support to the connection at your panel.
A generator setup that fits your home
Start with what you need to keep running: refrigeration, lighting, a home office, or other essential equipment. Dave reviews your existing electrical system and talks through the connection, transfer equipment, and scope of work before installation.
Plan the connection
Discuss the appropriate inlet or transfer equipment for the generator and the home. Equipment compatibility is part of the assessment.
Finish the electrical work
Coordinate the wiring, circuit labeling, and required electrical permits and inspections for the agreed scope.
Getting started
A clear plan before work begins.
- Tell Dave which parts of the home you want to keep powered.
- Share panel photos and any generator model you are considering.
- Get an assessment and a clear scope before scheduling the work.
Questions about generator installation
Can you connect a generator I already own?
Send Dave the make, model, and photos of your panel. He can review compatibility and the electrical work needed before quoting the installation.
Should I buy a generator before the assessment?
An assessment first helps match the equipment to your priorities and existing electrical system. If you already have a unit in mind, include its specifications with your request.
What does the quote include?
The quote defines the electrical work, equipment, and permit responsibilities for your project. Any fuel supply, site preparation, or work by other trades should be agreed separately before scheduling.
