When the Power Goes Out, Everything Changes

Power outages are more than an inconvenience. They can leave your home without heat or air conditioning, stop your refrigerator and freezer from keeping food safe, interrupt internet service, and leave you scrambling for flashlights and extension cords.

The guys were really cool with one of my kids who's autistic and likes tools and kept taking the tape measure. Josh I think was his name wasn't upset about it. Steffan as well was cool with all my kids. Also there was no cussing at the job site as well. Very professional group when everything is said and done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely prompt. We've had them come out twice now, in both situations they responded within 24hrs and had somebody out here completing the work within 48hrs. The service technicians where professional, polite, and friendly. They cleaned up after themselves and vacuumed leaving no mess. Both jobs were on the smaller side, so not sure about the experience with bigger jobs. That being said, when we do have a bigger electrical project we will be calling them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed two circuits installed, one in the water heater closet and another in the garage.  Each circuit was wired to a different panel.  I have a manufactured house, so it comes with its own set of challenges.  It was done very efficiently, and the electrician and his apprentice were very informative as to the process and what they were doing.  Very pleased with the service provided and the end product.

The electrician, Brooke, called upon completion of worked to review all she had done. She went over details of the charges. Great work, excellent communication. Good to have an electrician we can rely on.

Quick Answers

How does a whole house backup generator work?

A whole house generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected through an automatic transfer switch. When utility power goes out, the generator starts automatically and supplies electricity to your home’s selected circuits or the entire house, depending on the system.

How often should my generator be serviced?

Most whole house generators should be professionally serviced once a year or after extended use during a major power outage. Routine maintenance helps ensure your generator is ready when it’s needed.

Do you only install Generac generators?

We’re proud to be a Generac-certified provider, but we also service many other residential generator brands.

How long does generator installation take?

Most residential generator installations can be completed in one to two days, depending on the generator, fuel source, and any electrical upgrades that may be required.

Can you repair a generator that you didn't install?

Yes. We provide maintenance and repair services for many home backup generators, even if they were installed by another contractor.

Don’t Wait for the Next Power Outage

The best time to install or service a whole house backup generator is before you need it. Whether you’re considering a new Generac generator or want to keep your existing system ready for the next outage, Take Charge Electric is here to help.
