Residential Generator

Would you like to eliminate keys? Have Electronic locks that do not rely on outdated keys and keys that can be duplicated at the local hardware store?

Electronic Locking can be incorporated in almost every single application from a desk door all the way to a front door to a multi story building.

Stand-Alone Locks as the name implies are an “all-in-one” access control system for a single-door. The lock powered by replaceable internal batteries can be unlocked by keypad, proximity card or a combination. The advantages of stand-alone locks are they can be installed and operational in minutes. Some offer hand-held readers that extract the audit trail from the lock. The disadvantages of stand-alone locks are they are stand-alone and not part of a broader network.

Choosing a location for your new home standby generator is usually straightforward, but there are factors you must consider. A good location is one that allows the generator to operate efficiently and safely without endangering the lives of people living in the house. Always install standby generators outdoors on stable ground that does not flood. The exhaust gases produced by a generator contain deadly carbon monoxide and that is yet another consideration for location.

We are familiar with local building codes for necessary requirements and permits. The Building Department will have the final say in all electrical and gas plumbing installations. Local ordinances do vary from standard codes and supersede the manufacturer’s recommendations. Experienced Service Electricians know how to work with local building departments to resolve conflicts between installation instructions and local building codes.

After we have determined a location, have it approved by your local code authority and obtain a building permit. There’s nothing worse than purchasing your Residential Generator, only to have a code inspector fail your installation because it didn’t meet local codes for placement or you didn’t obtain get a permit. It wastes time and money.

A permit and passed inspection ensures that your insurance company will honor the policy in the event of fire or other damage.

The new Generac Genpad sits directly on the soil without a prepared gravel bed.

Some localities require a concrete pad for the Residential Generator to sit on, others allow generators to sit directly on a bed of gravel or pea gravel. Most manufacturers supply their generators in an enclosure that includes a suitable base for the generator―provided the underlying surface is level.
