Generator Installation

Electricity has become so integral to our lives that it might as well be considered a basic necessity. We depend on it to power the countless electronics, devices, appliances, and equipment in our homes and businesses. For some, such as hospitals and other critical facilities, a reliable supply of electricity is not just a convenience—it’s a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, power outages are an all-too-common reality. The good news? Electrical engineers have solutions to keep us powered even when the grid goes down: generators. If you’re looking for a professional generator installation in Chapel Hill to insure against the risk of power outages, then contact Mr. Electric to schedule an appointment today.

Portable Vs. Standby Generators

Generators come in two main varieties: portable and standby. Portable generators are compact, versatile, and perfect for short-term use. They’re a great option if you need temporary power for outdoor events, remote worksites, or emergencies that last just a few hours. However, they require manual setup, fueling, and connecting.
Standby generators, on the other hand, are designed for seamless and long-term operation. These are installed permanently on your property and connect directly to your electrical panel. In the event of a power outage, a standby generator kicks on automatically to keep everything running with minimal to no interruption.

Why a Professional Installation Matters

You can pretty much grab and go with a portable generator, but installing a standby generator is not a DIY project. These systems require precise connections to your electrical panel and fuel source. An improperly installed generator can fail to activate when you need it most. Worse, it can damage your homes wiring or even the grid.
When you hire Mr. Electric’s generator installer in Chapel Hill for your installation, you’re investing in expertise and safety. Our licensed electrician will handle every detail from sizing the generator to meet your specific power needs to ensuring compliance with local codes and regulations. 

Maintaining Your Generator

Like any mechanical system, standby generators require regular maintenance to keep them running efficiently. Routine checks include inspecting the fuel supply, changing the oil and filters, and testing the generator’s performance. Mr. Electric is happy to inspect your generator installation to make sure minor issues don’t escalate into costly problems.

Signs It’s Time for a New Generator

While standby generators are built to last, they’re not forever. Over time, even wear and tear can reduce their efficiency and reliability. If your generator frequently fails to start, struggles to power your home or business, or is leaking or corroded, then it’s likely time for a replacement. Plus, newer models are typically more efficient, effective, and environmentally friendly. If your current generator is over 10 years old, upgrading to a modern system could save you money on fuel and reduce emissions.

Stay Powered with Confidence

Power outages don’t have to disrupt your life. Whether you’re a homeowner wanting to keep the lights on during a storm or a business owner protecting critical operations, a standby generator is an invaluable investment. Contact Mr. Electric today to learn more about our standby generator installation and maintenance services. We’re happy to schedule an appointment or have a local electrician dispatched to your home or business as soon as possible.
