Power outages got you in the dark? Home generators are designed to provide electricity in times of power outages or utility company malfunctions. Big Island Electric provides both generator installation and generator repair in Kailua-Kona, HI and the surrounding areas.
In particular, whole-house stand-by generators not only provide lighting for the house in case of power outages but also may, depending on their capacity, provide power to run appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, furnaces, televisions and heaters.
We can help you get a brand-new generator or fix the one you have! Contact us today for your home generator needs, and receive a free estimate.
If you don’t have a generator, then the clock starts ticking on your perishable food the moment you lose power. The food in your fridge can go bad in as little as four hours, so long blackouts can cost you your food supply and waste all the money you spent on it.
Power surges when power resumes after an outage can fry your appliances. Reduce this risk by investing in a generator so your appliances never lose power.
Whole-house generators are installed directly into your electrical system and come with a level of peace of mind, which is well-suited for those who experience frequent blackouts.
As the name suggests, portable generators are stored when not in use, then moved and plugged in when needed. You’ll have to start the generator manually to resume power, so this works as an option if you don’t experience many power outages.
If you’re still wondering how to decide which option is right for you, we’re here to help. Contact us for more information.
Whole-house (standby/stationary) home generators absolutely require the service of a professional licensed electrical contractor for safety reasons. Generators are connected to the home wiring system through an automatic transfer switch properly sized for the home’s electrical needs or can be connected with a manual transfer switch or properly connected inlet to operate selected loads.
Additionally, you should never connect a portable generator to the home’s electrical system without these critical safety components installed. Automatic stationary generators come with an automatic power monitoring system. As soon as there is disruption in power, the generator automatically starts to provide power and switches off automatically after normal power is restored. This is far too complex for an amateur to handle, and it’s best that you call us at Big Island Electric for professional generator installation in Kailua-Kona, HI.
