Recent Gainesville feedback
Hardwired smoke alarms chirping for weeks. One dead unit was dragging the whole chain. Replaced the expired ones and explained the ten-year rule.
Every outlet on one side of the house died. Turned out to be a GFCI in the garage I did not know was protecting them. He showed me where it was so I would not call again for the same thing.
Standby generator sized to the whole house including the AC. Rode out the last outage without noticing it happened until the neighbour mentioned it.
Generator Installation in Gainesville: questions
What size generator do I need for my Gainesville home?
It depends on whether you want the whole house or just the essentials. In Gainesville, central air is usually the deciding load. We measure the real demand and size the unit to it rather than selling you the biggest box on the shelf.
Does a standby generator start automatically during a Gainesville outage?
Yes, with an automatic transfer switch. The unit senses the loss of utility power, starts, and takes over in seconds, then switches back and shuts down once the grid returns. You do not need to be home.
Natural gas or propane for a standby generator?
Natural gas is simpler where the street has service, because there is no tank to refill. Propane is the answer for most Gainesville properties without a gas main. We coordinate the gas work either way.
Do generators need servicing?
They do. A standby unit exercises itself weekly and needs oil, filters and a battery check on a schedule. We set up the exercise routine and can handle the annual visit.
