Generators FAQ

What size generator does a typical Duluth home need?

Most Duluth homes need a 16–22 kW standby generator to power essential circuits including heating, refrigeration, and lighting. We perform a detailed load calculation to size your unit correctly.

How long does generator installation take?

A standard residential generator installation takes 1–2 days once the concrete pad is set and gas line is run. We coordinate all trades to minimize disruption.

Do standby generators turn on automatically?

Yes. The automatic transfer switch detects a power loss and starts the generator within 10–30 seconds — no manual action required, even if you're away from home.
