Reliable backup power

A generator system should be designed around the property—not selected by guesswork.

Electric FX evaluates the service, connected loads, essential equipment, fuel availability, generator location and transfer requirements before recommending a system. The result is dependable backup power that fits the way your home or business actually operates.

Applications

Backup power for homes, businesses and critical building equipment.

Choose whole-property coverage or prioritize the circuits and equipment that matter most.

Automatic transfer sequence

From utility outage to backup power—automatically.

A correctly selected transfer switch separates the utility and generator sources, transfers the planned loads when standby power is ready, and returns the property to utility power after service is restored.

01 · MONITOR

Utility power drops

The generator controller detects a qualifying utility interruption.

02 · START

Generator starts

The standby generator starts and reaches the required operating conditions.

03 · TRANSFER

Loads receive power

The transfer equipment supplies the circuits included in the system design.

04 · RETURN

Utility is restored

The system returns to utility power and completes its cooldown cycle.

Complete electrical scope

Planning, installation and support from one electrical team.

Load planning

Property assessment

Review of service capacity, essential loads, starting loads and the equipment you want available during an outage.

System design

Generator sizing

A practical recommendation based on the planned loads, operating priorities, site conditions and available fuel source.

Transfer equipment

Automatic switching

Transfer switches and load-management equipment selected to coordinate safely with the generator and electrical service.

Installation

Electrical integration

Feeder wiring, controls, grounding and bonding, transfer equipment and connections completed as part of a coordinated installation.

Coordination

Permits and trades

ESA permit coordination and clear planning with the gas contractor, generator supplier and other project professionals.

Commissioning

Testing and handover

System testing, transfer verification and a clear homeowner or operator walkthrough before completion.

Designed as part of the service

The generator, transfer switch and electrical service must work as one system.

New construction, renovations and service upgrades are ideal opportunities to plan future backup power. Electric FX can coordinate generator-ready service equipment, transfer provisions and essential-load panels even when the generator is installed later.

A disciplined installation

Every major detail decided before installation begins.

01 · ASSESS

Review

We assess the service, loads, site, operating priorities and project requirements.

02 · DESIGN

Plan

We select the generator capacity, transfer strategy and supporting electrical work.

03 · DELIVER

Install & test

Our team installs, coordinates and tests the complete electrical portion of the system.

04 · SUPPORT

Support

After installation, we remain available for testing, electrical changes and future additions.

Common questions

What to know before choosing a generator.

Can a standby generator power the entire property?

Sometimes. The answer depends on the available generator capacity, service size and calculated loads. An essential-load design may be more practical and cost-effective.

Do you install both Honeywell and Generac generators?

Yes. We plan and install electrical systems using suitable Honeywell and Generac generator and transfer equipment based on the project requirements.

Is an automatic transfer switch required?

A transfer device is a critical part of safely separating utility and generator power. The correct switch and configuration depend on the service and system design.

Who completes the gas connection?

The fuel connection is completed by the appropriate licensed gas contractor. Electric FX coordinates the electrical and control requirements with that work.

Does a standby generator need maintenance?

Yes. Routine exercise, inspection and manufacturer-recommended service help keep the system ready. We can assist with electrical testing and system changes after installation.
