What to Expect During Your Generator Installation
We handle generator installations from start to finish and explain each step so nothing comes as a surprise:
Site Assessment & Sizing: We evaluate the household electrical load, identify an appropriate placement location, and recommend the right generator capacity for your backup-power needs.
Permit Coordination: Oconee County, Georgia Planning and Code Enforcement administers electrical permits, including permits for work involving new, moved, or added wiring. A licensed electrician can handle the permit process as part of the installation, so you don’t have to manage it separately. We coordinate applicable generator requirements with local authorities.
Site Preparation: For a standby unit, we prepare the installation site before equipment placement. We confirm that the location meets applicable requirements for the selected generator and property.
Generator Placement & Fuel Connection: We set the unit in the prepared location. Any required fuel connection must be completed in accordance with applicable code before the generator is commissioned.
Transfer Switch Installation: It connects the generator to your main electrical panel and isolates the electrical system from the utility supply while generator power is in use, preventing back-feed onto the grid.
Testing & Homeowner Walkthrough: Once installation is complete, we test the system under simulated outage conditions. Before we leave, we walk you through basic operation and maintenance so you’re confident using it when you need it most.
Whether it’s a quick fix or a major upgrade, Salt & Light Electric LLC is ready to spark the solution you need. Schedule your appointment with our expert electricians now. We're excited to bring your vision to light!
