Frequently asked questions
How do I pick the right generator size for my home? +
We perform a load study—checking your main panel, HVAC, refrigerator, and essential circuits. Most residential Georgia homes need 20–24 kW standby or a 5–7 kW portable with interlock. We size it to your needs and budget.
Do I need a permit for a standby generator in Georgia? +
Yes. Standby generators require electrical, plumbing (gas line), and building permits. We coordinate all three with your county and pull inspection. Takes 2–4 weeks typically.
Can I use my Georgia Power meter while running a generator? +
No. An automatic transfer switch (ATS) or manual interlock disconnects your home from Georgia Power when the generator runs—required by code to protect utility workers. We install and test the interlock before you go live.
