Types of Generators We Install

You need to be able to rely on your backup generator to start up when needed, provide consistent power, and last a long time with basic maintenance. At Shanklin, we install the best home generators from Generac, one of the most trusted and reliable names in the industry. Our certified Generac installers have the expertise to ensure your new generator is installed correctly, operates reliably, and delivers long-lasting performance.

Standby Generator Installation

Small standby generators have lower output capacities than larger whole-home standby generators, and they are designed only to power the most essential circuits during an outage. With an output of 10-15 kW, they can power essential appliances in an emergency and may be sufficient for smaller homes. Like a whole-home generator, they are permanently installed. 

Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation

A whole-home generator is a large standby generator that can power your entire home. Depending on the size of your home, its output may be 15 to 32 kW. This means that during long outages, you can keep your HVAC system and home appliances running smoothly. Whole-home generators offer consistent, reliable electricity with automatic operation and no need for refueling, connecting cords, or worrying about carbon monoxide issues.

If your home experiences a power outage, a whole-home standby generator will automatically turn on as it quickly and effectively recognizes the loss of power. In the same way, when the power returns to the home, the whole-home standby generator will recognize it and automatically turn off.

How Our Generator Installation Process Works

Installing a whole-home generator is a multistep process. At Shanklin, our residential generator installers will first evaluate your home to determine your electrical needs, then we will recommend an installation location for the generator. We may recommend that a concrete pad be installed, depending on the generator model and soil conditions

Our electricians will determine what is needed to connect the generator, including the transfer switch, wiring, and any sub-panels. Once the equipment is ordered and has arrived, we will install and secure the generator, connect the wiring, and test the generator’s operation. We offer top-quality backup generator installations, as well as emergency generator installations.
