Generator Installation

A power outage can be more than just an inconvenience. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, losing power can completely disrupt your routine and can leave your property vulnerable. A standby generator offers peace of mind by making sure that when the grid goes down, your home or business stays powered up and protected. But getting that peace of mind requires more than just buying a generator; it requires professional installation. At Generator Technologies, Inc., we deliver exceptional quality in all that we do. No matter what kind of solutions you’re searching for, we provide comprehensive service that exceeds your expectations.

The Generator Installation Process in Illinois and Indiana

Once you’ve had a consultation and selected your system, the installation process can begin. While the exact timeline can vary, here’s a general overview of the steps involved:

1. Site Preparation: The installation team will prepare the chosen spot, often by pouring a concrete slab or laying a bed of pea gravel to create a stable, level surface for the generator.
2. Generator Placement: The generator unit is carefully moved into position on the prepared pad.
3. Fuel and Electrical Connections: The technicians will connect the generator to its fuel source. Then, they will install the automatic transfer switch next to your main electrical panel and wire it to both the generator and your home or business’s electrical system.
4. System Activation and Testing: Once everything is connected, the team will activate the system. They will simulate a power outage to ensure the generator starts automatically and the transfer switch works flawlessly. They will also walk you through the system’s basic operation and maintenance requirements.

You can count on our team to guide you through the entire process so that you can have peace of mind. We’re dedicated to installing your generator to last for years to come.
