Generator installation
Standby and automatic generators sized correctly for your home or business load, installed with proper wiring, ventilation and safety cutoffs. We size every generator installation around your actual power needs, avoiding the common mistake of an undersized or oversized unit.
What this is
Standby and automatic generators sized correctly for your home or business load, installed with proper wiring, ventilation and safety cutoffs. We size every generator installation around your actual power needs, avoiding the common mistake of an undersized or oversized unit.
An automatic standby generator senses the outage itself and starts within seconds through an automatic transfer switch, so your lights and equipment barely notice the gap; a manual unit needs someone on site to start it, which is a real limitation if the outage happens while the building is empty. We size the generator against your actual load rather than the size of the building, since an oversized generator wastes fuel running under load and an undersized one trips or fails to start heavy equipment like a borehole pump or an air conditioner.
Ventilation and the transfer switch are not optional extras: a generator run without proper ventilation is a genuine safety hazard, and a transfer switch is what stops the generator and the grid ever being connected to the same circuit at once, which would be dangerous to anyone working on the line outside.
What is included
- Automatic standby generators that start within seconds of a power cut
- Manual generator installation for smaller budgets
- Load assessment to size the right generator for your property
- Safe wiring, automatic transfer switches and ventilation setup
- Servicing and maintenance for existing generators

Pricing
How this is billed
Priced against the sized unit and the installation work, confirmed after the load assessment. Servicing existing generators is quoted per visit.
After installation
Support and servicing
The generator carries the manufacturer warranty, and routine servicing, oil changes, filters and a load test, is what keeps a standby unit reliable when you actually need it, since a generator that has not run in months is the one most likely to fail on the day it matters. Call the support line to schedule servicing or report a unit that will not start.
Questions
What people ask before booking
- How do you decide what size generator I need?
- The load assessment lists everything you want to stay powered, lights, a fridge, a borehole pump, air conditioning, and sizes the generator to carry that load with margin for the heaviest item starting up, rather than guessing from the size of the building.
- Does the generator need regular servicing even if the power rarely goes out?
- Yes, if anything more so. A generator that never runs is the one most likely to fail to start when it is finally needed, which is why servicing includes a load test rather than just an oil change.
- Is it safe to run a generator during heavy rain?
- A generator installed with the correct enclosure and ventilation for outdoor use is designed to run through normal weather, which is part of what the installation is specified for rather than left to the unit itself to handle.
