Our team provides a full range of services for backup generators in Saratoga Springs. That includes custom new installations and generator replacements. We also provide all the support services our clients need to maximize their backup power investments. The best way to protect against breakdowns is to schedule routine maintenance. Your generator needs professional service at least once a year. When you have to run it often, you may need maintenance more frequently, depending on the total hours.
A generator experiences great wear and tear through normal operation. That’s why malfunctions can occur even with routine tune-ups. Schedule diagnostics if you notice your generator struggling to cycle on. A malfunctioning generator can cause dimming lights in the home and other symptoms of power fluctuations. You also shouldn’t ignore intermittent shut-offs, as those can indicate overheating.
Monitor for these other signs you may need our generator repair services:
Unpleasant smells
Increased fuel usage
Smoke or overheating
Loud or unusual noises
Any leakage of water or oil
Corrosion or other visible damage
Standby Generator Installation
For a new generator installation, the first choice to make is how you’ll power it. If your property has natural gas access, that’s generally the way to go. Natural gas is usually the most economical and convenient fuel choice. If you lack access, propane and fuel oil are viable alternatives you can store in a tank on your property.
Your home may require electrical system upgrades to support your new generator. Older houses may require replacing the electrical panel for higher-amp coverage. For newer homes, it may be necessary to add panel-side whole-home surge protection. Homes that have never had a generator will also need an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS is the component that detects grid failures and activates the generator as needed.
The next step is to size your generator. We’ll do that through custom load calculations based on your goals and budget. The smallest generators provide what the industry calls essential-circuit coverage. That includes your heating system, some lighting, the main stove, and your refrigerators and freezers. Large generator systems range from managed to full whole-home coverage. Full coverage lets you continue using your home as if there isn’t an outage. That means you can run your dishwasher, washer and dryer, and other major appliances. Managed coverage lets you selectively power internet equipment, small kitchen appliances, televisions, and so forth.
