How long does a whole-home generator take to kick in?

A whole-home generator typically takes about 10-30 seconds to start once a power outage occurs. This automatic transfer ensures minimal disruption to your home’s power supply.

How often should I maintain my generator?

Regular maintenance should be performed at least once a year. However, if your generator runs frequently, servicing it every six months is recommended to keep it in top condition.

Can I install a generator myself?

While portable generators are easy to set up, whole-home generators require professional installation to connect them safely to your electrical system and fuel source.

How long can an emergency generator run continuously?

This depends on the fuel type and capacity. Natural gas-powered generators can run indefinitely as long as there is a steady fuel supply. Propane and diesel models are limited by the available fuel in their tanks.

Is a standby generator worth the investment?

If you experience frequent outages or rely on power for medical equipment, work, or home security, a whole-home generator can provide invaluable peace of mind and long-term reliability.

Home-n-Around Electric has done a few jobs for me a two different homes and they do exceptional work. Always on time, very professional and knowledgeable and very fair pricing. I have recommended them to several people and will continue to do so.

Jeremy and team were prompt, patient, and did a fantastic job assembling/hanging a 62 lb. chandelier. They also ensured that the chandelier is safe and secured by adding the appropriate weight bearing parts.

I called Home-n-Around Electric because when I was in the pool and grabbed the handrail to come out I received a shock. The technician, Jeremy Singleton, arrived the next day around 2 pm to address the problem. Voltage from the handrail to the water was 8.5v and after diagnosing the problem he found that the voltage was fluctuating under a load and that my outside cable to the pole was frayed due to squirrel damage. He and I called GP to have the cable replaced. They came out the next day spliced the cable and said it was fine from the pole to the house.. The pool still shocked me. I Recalled Home-n-Around Electric and Jeremy and Tristen Park returned to hopefully find and fix the problem. After about 3 hours of testing, Jeremy was adamant that this was a problem that GP needed to readdress. He was right, apparently after a call was made by Home-n-Around Electric to GP to set up a meeting GP arrived at my home with 3 trucks, a full crew and the right attitude to fix a potentially dangerous condition. During this ordeal the owner, Chris, of Home-n-Around Electric, was in touch with me to be available for any questions the GP may have to do their part correctly.All in all this was an experience that I won't soon forget. Home-n-Around Electric personnel from the owner, Chris, the receptionist and the technicians, Jeremy and Tristen were very professional and I would highly recommend Home-n-Around Electric to anyone needing residential electrical service.
