Generator Installation in Kunia: frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need in Kunia?
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 Kunia?
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 Kunia?
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 Kunia?
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 Kunia?
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 Kunia 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 work on older homes in Kunia?
Frequently. Older Kunia properties often have two prong outlets, cloth or knob and tube wiring, or a panel that ran out of room years ago. We prioritise what is unsafe first and give you a staged plan for the rest.
Do you handle both homes and businesses in Kunia?
Yes. Residential work in Kunia runs from single repairs to full rewires. Commercial work covers offices, restaurants, retail and warehouses, usually scheduled after hours so you do not lose trading time.
