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 electricians are certified Generac installer, ensuring that your new generator will work properly and last as long as possible.

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, such as those that supply the HVAC system, refrigerator, stove, and sump pumps. With an output of 1-15 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 Generator Installation

A whole-home generator is a large standby generator that can power more than just your important circuits — it has the capacity to 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 not only keep your home comfortable and your food safe, but you can power medical devices for serious medical conditions, radios for emergency information, internet connections to stay informed, and televisions to keep the family entertained. Whole-home generators offer consistent, reliable electricity with automatic operation and no need for refueling, connecting cords, or worrying about carbon monoxide issues.

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.
