What You Notice After the System Is Installed

Your whole home generator installation begins with a consultation at your property in Porter to assess your electrical panel, available space, and fuel source options. We calculate your total electrical load and recommend a Generac unit that powers your entire home without overloading. The installation includes mounting the generator on a concrete pad outside your home, running fuel lines from your natural gas meter or propane tank, wiring the automatic transfer switch to your electrical panel, and testing the system to confirm it starts and transfers power correctly.

Once the system is online, your home will respond automatically to power outages. The transfer switch detects when utility power is lost and signals the generator to start. Within seconds, your lights come back on, your HVAC system resumes operation, and your appliances continue working as if nothing happened. You will hear the generator running outside, but inside, the transition is smooth and immediate. The system runs on natural gas or propane, so you will not need to refuel manually during extended outages.

We provide training on how to monitor your system, when to schedule maintenance, and what warning signs to watch for. Your generator should be serviced annually to check oil levels, battery charge, fuel supply, and system diagnostics. As an Authorized Independent Service Dealer, we provide warranty-backed repairs and long-term support to keep your system reliable through every storm season.

Answers to Questions Homeowners Ask Before Installation

Homeowners in Porter want to know what a whole home generator will power, how long installation takes, and what it takes to keep the system running year after year. These are the questions we answer most often during consultations.

What does a whole home generator power?
A whole home generator powers every circuit in your house, including HVAC, appliances, lighting, outlets, and hardwired devices. It is sized to match your electrical panel's total load, so nothing gets left out during an outage.
How long does installation take?
Most whole home generator installations take two to three days, depending on site preparation, fuel line runs, and electrical work. We handle everything from permits to final testing and system training.
What fuel source should I use?
Natural gas is the most common fuel source because it provides unlimited runtime during extended outages. If your home does not have natural gas service, we install a propane tank and connect the generator to run on LP fuel.
Will the generator start automatically?
Yes. The automatic transfer switch detects the loss of utility power and signals the generator to start within seconds. You do not need to be home or take any action for the system to restore power.
How often does the generator need maintenance?
Your generator should be serviced once a year to check oil, filters, battery condition, and fuel supply. Regular maintenance keeps the system ready to start during an outage and helps prevent breakdowns when you need power most.
