What changes region to region

Southcentral

Southcentral homes swing between heavy summer use and deep winter loads, and panels sized in the 1970s and 80s are the ones that give up first.

Interior

Interior cold is unforgiving on anything electrical that was installed casually. Heat tape circuits, block heater outlets and boiler controls have to be right before the first hard freeze.

Southwest

Out here power often comes from a village system or a local generator, and the wiring inside has to be tolerant of voltage that is not always textbook.

Arctic & Northwest

Above the Arctic Circle everything is about keeping heat and water on. Critical circuits get protected first, and the rest gets planned around the weather window.

Southeast

Constant rain and salt air in Southeast make water intrusion the number one cause of failed exterior devices and corroded panel connections.

How generator installation works with us

You call, a person answersTell us what is happening in Alaska - what stopped, what you smelled, what you heard, what you already tried. If there is anything unsafe we walk you through shutting it down before we hang up.
We give you an arrival windowNot a whole day. A window, with a call ahead so you are not sitting waiting. For Alaska addresses off the road system we book travel and confirm the date.
Diagnosis before pricingWe find the actual fault or scope out the install properly. You get shown what we found, in plain language, with photos if it is somewhere you cannot easily see.
A flat price, agreed before work startsOne number for the job. If something behind the wall changes the picture, we stop and re-quote rather than running up an invoice.
The work gets done and testedCircuits tested, devices verified, panel labelled, site cleaned. We show you the result and make sure it does what you expected.

Generator Installation - common questions

What size generator do I need in your town?

Start with what must stay on: heat, well pump, freezer, a few lights and a receptacle or two. We measure the real loads at your place in your town and size from that. Oversizing wastes fuel, undersizing means the thing stalls on the first pump start.

Can I just run extension cords from a portable generator?

It is common and it is the setup we get called out to fix. Cords through a cracked window backfeed hazards, overload thin gauge and leave your heating system on the wrong side of the problem. An inlet box and transfer switch costs less than most people expect.

What is a transfer switch and do I need one?

It is the piece that makes sure generator power and utility power can never meet. Without it you risk backfeeding the line, which is dangerous for you and for utility crews. Yes, you need one.

Do you service generators you did not install?

Yes. If a unit in your town is not starting, not transferring or tripping under load, call (888) 633-7804.

How often should a standby unit be tested?

Let it exercise weekly and give it a real load test before freeze-up. We can do that check when we are through your town.
