Generator Installation Des Moines

There are two main types of power generators you can install in your home or business: portable and standby. The right generator for your property will vary based on factors that are unique to your building, such as:

• Building size
• Devices and equipment
• Typical power usage

The trained and licensed electrical experts at Mr. Electric of Central Iowa can help you select the most appropriate power generator model for your home or business. We understand which brands and models provide the best performance and run efficiently, so you can count on us to match you with a generator that will support your specific electrical needs.

Portable generators are simple, cost-effective generators designed to power only your essential electronic devices and appliances:

• Refrigerators
• HVAC systems
• Lights
• Computers

Unlike with a standby generator, you'll need to start your portable generator manually to create power. Portable models also provide limited power for two to four outlets or circuits, which can mean the difference between sitting in the dark and staying productive.

Our licensed and trained team can wire a portable power generator into your subpanel or use extension cords to connect it to your appliances. We'll make sure to install it in a safe, open area at least 10 feet away from your home or business to ensure your safety.

Standby generators are quiet units installed outside your home or business to provide enough power for everything in the building. They start automatically in response to a power outage, preventing electrical service interruptions while ensuring critical systems stay online.

While standby generators tend to be quieter, they require more components than portable models. Parts and tasks such as the following will typically raise the overall cost:

• Transfer switches
• Hardwiring
• Subpanels
