What to Expect During Your Generator Installation
We handle generator installations from start to finish and walk you through every step so nothing is a surprise. Here’s how the process works:
Site Assessment & Sizing
A licensed electrician evaluates your home’s electrical load, identifies a compliant placement location, and recommends the right generator size and fuel type for your setup.
Permit Coordination
Residential generator installation in Watkinsville typically requires an electrical permit through Oconee County. We handle or advise on permit requirements with local authorities so nothing falls through the cracks.
Site Preparation
For a standby unit, the installation site is prepared with a concrete pad or gravel base. Required clearances from the structure, windows, and doors are confirmed before placement.
Generator Placement & Fuel Connection
The unit is set, and the natural gas or propane fuel line is connected to code by our licensed team.
Transfer Switch Installation
A transfer switch connects the generator to your home’s main electrical panel. It’s required by electrical code for any permanent generator connection because it prevents back-feed onto the utility line, protecting both your household and utility workers.
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!
