Generator Installation and Maintenance

Red Elk has installed generators in Sanford and surrounding areas for homeowners for a few years. When it’s time to install a generator, you can turn to Red Elk Electric. 

Installing a generator is more complicated than simply setting it outside your home and plugging it in. A perfectly installed generator will turn on within moments of a power outage and provide you with seamless electrical service. Continuted electric service makes it easier to look after your family and address the situation at hand whatever it might be, rather than worry about the power. 

Steps we take to install a generator:

• Assessment- Red Elk will do a thorough assessment to evaluate your present demands and find the best generator for you. Choosing a generator that is too large might be a waste of money and one that is too small will quickly run through fuel without sufficiently meeting your needs.
• Installation- A generator in the wrong location can be a huge eyesore or it could pump hazardous fumes into your home. Red Elk will find a place for it that’s out of the way so you won’t even remember it’s there – until you need it. There will be a concrete pad installed for the generator and it will connect to your electrical panel through a transfer switch. 
• Transfer Switch- A transfer switch is the easiest and the best solution for changing your power supply to a generator. Choose from a manual and automatic transfer switch to perfectly suit your situation.

You’ll never regret having a functional generator installed at your Sanford area home or business in the event of an emergency. Let Red Elk help you out with the perfect generator that will fit your every need.
