This automatic transfer switch was recessed into the wall. It will automatically sense a power outage and restore power within 12 seconds. The generator  was installed nicely alongside the house . And the electrical and gas lines were buried up to the generator.

This 14kw required a little digging to get the gas and electrical to the generator. We also had to saw-cut the concrete to properly route the wiring. The transfer switch fit nicely on the outside of the house. This will automatically turn power on and off.

This generator provides critical backup power for the entire extended family. Fed from natural gas this has a nearly unlimited run time. We also relocated the main service and installed a new  200 amp panel. A flush mount installation looks very neat and clean.

What I am hearing from the Sammamish area  is that the are many parts of the city that have frequent and sustained outages.   This waterfront house had a 11kw installed (10kw on natural gas). After our pressure test passed with Sammamish inspectors we connected the gas line.   These types of...

We carefully calculated the electrical load and it showed if we used the three PMM's (power management modules) a 20kw generator would provide adequate power.  What is the danger of undersizing the generator? Probably the worst issue would be if the generator became overloaded and shut down. The next issue...

This generator is mounted on the top of a rock and earth wall to meet needed clearances from the house. We connected a 200 amp SE rated transfer switch to the electrical system. The system is fed by LP gas tanks.

Careful generator placement minimized the impact on landscaping. Planning ahead helped with the placement of the automatic transfer switch adjacent the two electrical panels.  There are also two whole-panel surge arrestors we installed to provide protection to the electrical system.

With no space on the side yard we found a nice location at the front of the home.   The electrical panel was just on the other side of the wall. Generac transfer switches can be flush mounted with a little extra work.  This makes for a clean installation.   After just...

Generac 17kw stator and rotor repair Woodinville Samammish, WA. Look closely and you can see the damaged stator in the picture on the right. This type of repair isn't inexpensive but in this case proved to be a better value that a new generator. After about 3 years the generator...

We brought in 10 retaining wall bricks to provide a stable foundation. Gas and electrical lines were concealed underground and we even tunneled under the sidewalk for a neat and clean installation.
