Standby generator installation in Tohatchi

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 Tohatchi 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 Tohatchi 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
