Because the generator had to be located away from the house we had to trench to the generator location. After the electrical inspector looked over our work we carefully filled the trench and replaced the grass. This took a little coordination as we had to make sure to contact the...

We followed Bonney Lake rules for setbacks.  There are many cities that have setback requirements.  Following these requirements can help protect you from a neighbors complaint after the installation is complete. We have Bonney Lake scheduled for the gas inspection.  If you look closely you can see the flexible UL...

You'll never believe it, but part way through this install before we were complete the owners lost power! Three very next day we came back as scheduled to finish the job. The owner is super happy she doesn't have to worry during the next outage. Which, apparently is bound to...

Our first step was visiting the Mercer Island city call to purchase our gas and electrical permits. This install used a 200 amp SE rated ATS. For a clean look we are going to install the DLM modules next to the ATS to limit the load to the maximum of...

The Generac model 5870 provides space for 10 circuits. Amazingly the homeowner only had 10 total (single pole) circuits in the entire panel! Since they have gas hot-water and a gas furnace........it will be like there is no outage at all. Everything except the oven will be working. Running on...

This install is in Renton.  Here we are installing the gas line.  Upsized to one inch. Generac Gen-ready load centers feature both the transfer switch and main 200amp panel in one "box".  Great option that I don't see other installers offering. There is some added cost for install due to...

First off I want to say that YES this generator is a "good deal" (but not for everybody).   Why you ask?  Read on and I will demystify and help you as you work through the process of making your decision. First, please see the above picture to understand what...

Sometimes we get calls to look at standby generators that we didn't install. below is a picture of our most recent generator compliance inspection.  The customer was having issues with carbon monoxide getting into the house. When we arrived on site we found a creative solution to divert the fumes...

The first step was PSE upgrading the meter to increase the capacity for the generator. We reworked the 320 amp CT service.  We actually removed the old CT can and reduced the service to 200amps. This took careful coordination with the electrical inspector and PSE. The end result was great...

We passed all inspections the first try and the homeowner was happy. Outages just last longer in the Lake Tapps area, and this customer called us the prevent having to deal with repeated outages. This install went with the pre-pack load center. These make for a cost effective install compared...
