Generator FAQ’s
Does SEG do the gas line portion of work or do I need to hire that out?
We work with multiple mechanical contractors who we know and trust, and are licensed and insured to run the gas line properly and pull permits. We will include these costs for a turn-key process.
How do I know what size generator I need?
Unlike our competitors, we will come out on-site and do a load calculation for your home or business take note of its current electrical demand (and potential future demand), and offer options according to size and budget.
I've heard of other manufacturers like Kohler, Cummins, and Briggs & Stratton instead of Generac, do you guys install these generators as well?
Yes, although Generac Generators are the most common amongst residential installations (Approx. 75%) and we are a certified Generac dealer/installer, we have and will install other brands based on customer preference.
Where does the generator get placed?
We will work with you to determine the most ideal location at your home or business for your generator along with the city/municipality requirements. (Sometimes a neighbor’s signature is needed if placed too close to the property line.)
Are you guys licensed, insured, and able to pull permits for generator installations?
We are fully licensed, Insured, and Workman Comp compliant, and pull permits on all jobs to protect ourselves as well as the customer investment to ensure proper workmanship.
What goes into normal maintenance on my standby by generator unit?
For home standby generators, regular maintenance includes changing air filters, oil and oil filters, spark plugs, checking battery charge, sediment traps, valve clearance, and cleaning the generator from dirt and debris inside the enclosure and outside around the unit. The use of your generator determines maintenance intervals. Your generator will need oil replenishment, fuel and oil line inspection, and inspection of enclosure louvers for dirt and debris if the unit is running daily, such as in a prolonged utility outage. Maintenance intervals happen between 200 hours and 400 hours of operation, or every two to four years – whichever happens first. Touching up chipped paint protects against corrosion while installing base fascia protects your generator from unwanted inhabitants.
Do you guys offer maintenance on generators?
Yes, we offer full-service maintenance as listed above.
What's the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?
A portable generator is a temporary solution powered by gasoline or other fuel source that requires a homeowner interface to become operable. A home standby generator is an automatic, permanent backup power solution powered by natural gas or liquid propane and requires no homeowner interface for operation.
