Backup House Generator Installation & Backup Power Solutions

Standby Power Generators

Residential backup generators are used as a temporary power source that can keep homes operational during a power outage.

Since there are many different types of house generators on the market, finding the best one depends on the type of home you have, the size of your living space, and the demands of your appliances.

Residential backup generators are connected to the main power supply and are designed to handle your power demands. Fuel supply, ventilation, area dimensions, and demand factors are all used when properly determining your generator requirements.

Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Systems

UPS systems provide a backup power supply that keeps equipment running without interruptions during an outage.

The main difference between a UPS and a residential backup generator is that the UPS system relies on battery storage and therefore has limited amount of power.

The purpose of the UPS is to run your system long enough for you to do a proper shutdown or switch to the generator.

Residential backup generators and UPS systems work together to protect and safeguard your systems and keep homes running smoothly.

Automatic Transfer Switches

Automatic transfer switches are used in conjunction with residential backup generators. These devices automatically switch to allow the generator to provide power to your electrical system to maintain your home's vital equipment.

In most cases, the transfer switch will be connected to more circuits than the generator can accommodate all at once, so proper integration is needed so the system doesn’t get overloaded.

Having professionals to install transfer switches, program controllers, and test the system is necessary for smooth operation and safety.

Emergency Power Solutions

In some homes, identifying wiring issues and code violations before the backup house generator installation is necessary. When faced with such a situation, our licensed electricians will advise customers on all options to bring the system back to code.

Complete emergency power solutions involve evaluating current system components, improving internal electrical installations, and testing emergency operation equipment. Our licensed, bonded and insured professionals are able to ensure that complex emergency power solutions are installed correctly, safely and efficiently.

Common power issues can include:

Efficient Energy Solutions

Homes, businesses, and industries account for three-quarters of energy consumption, and two-thirds of carbon emissions. But the electricity used to power systems that contain heavy electrical loads can be done by using power factor correction and surge suppression.

Energy-efficient home building designs can significantly reduce energy demands, and help you save money from costly utility bills.

At Electrical Elite, our trained technicians can help evaluate your system, and identify areas that can contribute to lower energy use and better cost-savings.
