Residential Generators

Take charge before the power goes out. An average home uses dozens of electrical appliances and devices. With power outages occurring more often and lasting longer than ever, odds are you will experience a power outage and suffer without the comforts we all take for granted. And a power outage after a major storm, earthquake or fire could last weeks making it more than an inconvenience.

The comfort and security a generator can provide your home and family are immeasurable. Don't be left in the dark. The best time to buy a residential generator is before you need it.

New Residential Generator Checklist:

• Have an electrician come out to your residence to determine the size of generator, ATS (automatic transfer switch) and fuel type you'll need. (See our list of recommended electricians below)
• Have you or your electrician contact San Luis Powerhouse for a price quote and availability of appropriate Generator and ATS.
• Order appropriate equipment. A 50% deposit will be required upon ordering.
• Have your electrician pick up and install your new generator when it arrives.
• Schedule San Luis Powerhouse to come do a unit "start up" of new unit (required for warranty certification)
• Consider getting set up with a quarterly service contract with San Luis Powerhouse for all maintenance and repairs of your new unit. Our contracted clients benefit from our 24/7 on-call technicians.
