Over the years we have seen many installs by home owners, other electricians or the cheapest Craigslist ad. They have ranged from going completely overboard and redundant, to something that should be burned down. We know that some home owners want to save a little bit of money or some contractors want to make a little. Installs are important because lifes are at stake. One wrong move when the power goes out and you could immediately energize your power lines. What some fail to realize is a transformer works two ways. Voltage is stepped down to go into your home, and backwards it is stepped up right back into the power lines. We have a very strong love for our lineman, quite simply they are the ones who allow us to live our everyday lives. We want them to be safe while they are out in sometimes very dangerous situations, the last thing we want is for them to have to also work with live wires unknown to them. 

Generac highly recommends a certified installer start up your generator. American Generators understands that times are tough for some and every dollar counts. We offer a startup service to keep you costs down and lives of others and your equipment sund. We will check your installation from bumper to bumper to make sure all applicable codes are met, your wiring is correctly terminated, your gas pipe and pressure is correct, your exhaust is not to close to any ignitable sources and your generator will be able to handle the load it is attached to and offer a write-up with explanations of the above mentioned. We will also answer any questions that the home owner may have about their generator and educate you and offer tips on the importance of keeping your equipment sound, There are many variables to every install, not all installs are the same. There are many more parts to an install than just wiring, just like there is much more to your car than the steering wheel.

Your assistance will keep our lineman safe, your equipment safe and your equipment covered. If a startup fails and Generac feels it is due to negligence, your warranty could be voided. Whether it was a licensed electrician that hooked up your generator, or the typical home owner. We offer startups for $299.00 on Air Cooled Generators and $399.00 for Liquid Cooled to keep you covered. We offer it at this rate so it is easily feasible to the home owner or contractor making the bid so that we can assure that our lineman are kept safe and our customers equipment works and is covered.
