Generator Service

The electricians in our network handle the full range: installing standby and portable systems, wiring automatic transfer switches and interlocks, diagnosing no-start faults, servicing batteries and fuel components, and running load tests and annual maintenance. Whether you own the unit already or need a new one sized and installed, you'll be matched with a pro who does that exact work.

You can manage basic upkeep like keeping fuel fresh and checking oil, but transfer switch wiring, electrical diagnostics, and load testing call for a licensed electrician. Backfeed and improper connections are genuine safety hazards, and a pro makes sure the system is wired to code and performs under real load. For anything beyond routine checks, hire a professional.

Cost depends on the type of work, the size and fuel type of your unit, and whether you need a repair, maintenance, or a full install. A standard maintenance visit runs about $150 to $400, common repairs land between $300 and $1,500, and a new standby generator with transfer switch and installation typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000.
