Generator Installation FAQs
What size generator do I need for my Carmel home?
Generator size depends on which appliances and electrical systems you want to operate during an outage. Eskay Electric can evaluate your electrical loads and help determine the appropriate electrical requirements for your backup power system.
What is an automatic transfer switch?
An automatic transfer switch detects a utility power outage and transfers the home’s selected electrical loads to the standby generator. When utility power returns, the system transfers back to normal power.
Can a generator work with my existing electrical panel?
Often it can, but the existing service and panel should be evaluated. Some installations may require electrical modifications or upgrades depending on the generator configuration and the home’s electrical system.
Does a standby generator installation require permits?
Permit requirements depend on the scope and location of the installation. Eskay Electric can coordinate the electrical permitting and inspection requirements associated with our work.
Can a generator power my entire house?
Yes, a properly sized system can be designed for whole-house backup, while other systems can be configured to supply selected essential loads.
