Professional Generator Installation – Done Right the First Time

Always call a generator electrician for installation, since electrical work poses significant safety and fire risks if it’s not handled by a licensed professional. At Comfort Bros, our team of licensed electricians get your generator installed safely, efficiently, and at a fair price, so you can feel confident knowing you’ll always have the backup power you need.

Whole House vs. Standby Generator Installation – Which Is Right for You?

From small outages to rolling blackouts, generators keep your home powered through any interruption. Explore the differences between whole home and standby generators to find the right fit for your home:

Whole home generators

If you want a back-up power solution that feels just like the regular grid, a whole house generator installation may be the right fit. They come in a range of different sizes and capacities to fit your power needs, and are capable of providing enough power to support your entire home. With the proper size of whole home generator, you can power a large El Cajon home with central AC even during the middle of a heat wave.

Whole home generators are typically connected directly to the main power system so that they can sense an outage and turn on automatically. This enables a seamless transition, so you’ll barely notice a power outage.

Standby generators

Like whole home generators, most standby generators are connected to the main system to detect power outages and turn on automatically to restore home power. However, these units are smaller and provide enough power to support the essential parts of your home. Standby generator installation is a great solution for keeping your home functional during a power outage, and comes at a smaller initial cost than a whole home generator.

What’s Included with Our Generator Installation Service

Learn what to expect when you book residential generator installation for your El Cajon home.

Consultation

The first step in our generator installation process is a consultation. We take the time to get to know your power needs, factoring home size and your budget, and help you choose the generator that’s right for you. We install a wide range of different makes and models, including different sizes to meet your power needs.

Installation

Once you’re happy with the plan, we arrive at the planned installation day and time and get straight to work. Home generator installation itself usually takes one to two days, although it may take several weeks after the consultation to install the generator. This is because we need to prepare the fuel lines and obtain all the proper permits to get the job done safely and make sure everything complies with local codes.

Quality check and cleanup

After we install the unit, we’ll perform a comprehensive quality and safety check to confirm that everything is running properly, and clean up the work area, leaving everything as good or better than we found it.

Financing Options for Generator Installation

Reliable backup power is key to staying safe and comfortable during outages — that’s why we offer a range of flexible financing options and to help everyone access the electrical services they need. Explore our financing support as well as specials and coupons to find a plan that works for you and get started with your new generator installation today.
