What Does a Generator Installation Involve?
Every generator installation project starts with a site visit, where we look at your home's electrical panel, fuel source options, and where a unit can sit safely outside your house. From there, we size the system to match the loads you want to keep running, whether that's just the furnace and fridge or the whole house. Our generator installation in Petawawa
projects always include a properly rated transfer switch so the unit and your utility service never operate at the same time, and our backup power system installation
work follows the latest CEC requirements from start to finish.
Portable vs. Whole-Home Standby Generators: Which Is Right for Your Home?
Choosing between a portable unit and a whole-home system comes down to how much of your house you want protected and how long outages typically last in your area. A whole-home standby generator
is designed to start automatically the moment it detects a power outage, running items like your furnace, well pump, and kitchen appliances without you lifting a finger. When you're weighing options for generator installation in Petawawa, our team walks you through sizing and fuel choices, and you can browse our full range of generator services
to see what a Generac system can do for your home.
How Is a Generator Connected to Your Home's Electrical Panel?
Connecting a generator to your electrical panel isn't a job for extension cords and hope; it requires a dedicated transfer switch wired directly into your panel by a licensed electrician. Homeowners settling into a new property often ask us to handle generator installation in Petawawa
alongside other new-home electrical upgrades, since panels, wiring, and permits are easier to coordinate together. Our transfer switch installation
work is fully licensed and insured, and if you're ready to plan your project, you can get in touch to discuss your generator installation
