Generator Installation in Kealakekua: frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need in Kealakekua?
It depends what you want running. A critical loads setup covering fridge, lights, fans and a well pump is far cheaper than whole home coverage. We size it from a load calculation.
Do I need a transfer switch in Kealakekua?
Yes. Running a generator through an extension cord or a backfed dryer outlet can energise the utility line and is genuinely dangerous. A transfer switch isolates you properly.
Automatic or manual transfer in Kealakekua?
Automatic starts and switches on its own within seconds, which matters if you are away or have medical equipment. Manual costs less and is fine if someone is usually home.
How long does generator installation take in Kealakekua?
A manual interlock or inlet box is often a single day. A standby unit with an automatic transfer switch typically takes one to two days plus inspection.
Can you service a generator already installed in Kealakekua?
Yes, including transfer switch testing, load testing and fixing installs that were not done correctly the first time.
Where does the generator go on a Kealakekua property?
On a level pad, clear of windows and vents, with the manufacturer's clearances respected. We will walk the property and show you the options.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays in Kealakekua?
After-hours work in Kealakekua is quoted at a flat price before we start, so you know the number before anyone drives out. There is no meter running while we diagnose.
Do you give written quotes in Kealakekua?
Always. You get the scope, the parts and the price in writing before work begins, which is useful for landlords, strata boards and resale files.
