Whole House Generator Installation in Edgewood, NM

When the grid goes down, a standby generator starts on its own and has your lights, refrigerator, well pump and heat running again in seconds. Lebogang Electrical Services handles generator installation in Edgewood from sizing to startup: the pad, the automatic transfer switch, the electrical connection and the first test run. We install across Santa Fe County.

Standby generator installation in Edgewood

A standby generator sits outside like an air conditioning unit and runs on natural gas or propane. An automatic transfer switch senses the outage, starts the generator and moves your home onto backup power, then switches back when utility power returns. Our standby generator installation in Edgewood covers the full electrical side and coordinates the fuel connection.

Whole house generator vs essential circuits

A whole house generator installation powers everything, including air conditioning. A smaller unit with a load-shedding switch or an essential-circuits panel covers the well pump, refrigerator, furnace, lights and outlets for less money. We size the generator to what you actually want running.

Generac installation and other brands

We install standby generators from the major manufacturers, including Generac, and we install units you have already purchased. If you'd rather use a portable generator, we fit an inlet and an interlock or manual transfer switch so you never backfeed the panel through an outlet.

A backup generator makes sense in Edgewood if

Outages are frequent or slow to be restored
You rely on a well pump for water
Someone at home depends on medical equipment
You work from home or run a business on site
Freezers, livestock water or greenhouses depend on power

Electrical work in Edgewood and Santa Fe County

Generator Installation FAQ for Edgewood

How much does generator installation cost in Edgewood?

Cost depends on generator size, the transfer switch, distance from the panel and the fuel supply, and the pad. After a site visit we give you an installed price for the electrical work.

What size generator do I need?

It depends on what you want to run. Essentials need far less than a whole house with air conditioning. We add up the loads and recommend a size.

Natural gas or propane?

If you have natural gas at the house, it's the simplest fuel. Rural properties around Edgewood usually run on propane, with a tank sized for several days of runtime.

Can I plug a portable generator into my dryer outlet?

No. Backfeeding through an outlet can electrocute utility workers and damage your home. A proper inlet with an interlock or transfer switch is the safe way, and it isn't expensive.

What customers say

We are on a well, so no power means no water. The standby generator they installed has kicked in on its own every time since. Worth every penny.

Had three ceiling fans installed where there were only lights before. No wobble, quiet and they hauled away all the boxes.
