Home Generator Installation Springdale, OH

Many Springdale homes are mid-century ranches or split-levels, and their original panels often can't handle the extra load from a standby generator. That's why our Cincinnati electrician always starts by checking your panel. If you have a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Pushmatic breaker box, we'll let you know you need an electrical panel upgrade before we install your generator. Sometimes a 100-amp service also needs to be upgraded to 200 amps. Once your electrical system is ready, your home generator installation follows four simple steps:

• Site assessment: We check your panel and fuel source to make sure your home is ready for a standby generator.
• System sizing: We calculate the wattage you need and help you choose between a partial-circuit unit for essentials and a whole-house generator.
• Permitting and setup: We handle the paperwork and local inspections, then install the unit and connect it to a transfer switch.
• Final testing: We simulate a power outage to make sure the transfer switch moves your home's power to the generator and back again.

The National Electrical Code requires that a standby generator connects through a transfer switch. This prevents your home from sending power back into Duke Energy's lines while crews work. The transfer switch also lets your furnace blower and basement pump start within seconds, so you don't have to rely on extension cords or run them through a dark basement. With ice storms and summer windstorms in Hamilton County, keeping your sump pump running is important for your peace of mind.
