Our Professional Home Generator Installation Services

At Mister Sparky, we offer comprehensive generator services for homes. Your local Mister Sparky technicians are there for you from start to finish. Their hands-on approach will help you get the best generator for your home or business and install it safely. 

Here's how it works: 

  • Pre-installation evaluation: Your Mister Sparky team will perform an in-home electrical inspection to recommend the size and type of generator that will meet your demand during an outage. We will also describe the process, discuss costs, and get your approval before any work begins. 
  • Generator installation: Our technicians will install the generator in a safe outdoor location that is near the electrical meter but far enough from your home's doors and windows. 
  • Generator wiring: We wire the generator to the transfer switch and service panel so that your home transitions seamlessly to generator power in an outage. 

Types of Generators Mister Sparky® Installs 

We install, replace, and repair the most common types of home generators, including:

  • Home standby generators
  • Inverter generators
  • Gas and diesel generators
  • Electric generators

Get Your Generator Installed by the Pros

Installing a home generator incorrectly poses serious safety hazards, including back-feeding, increased fire risk, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Hiring a professional electrician for your generator installation is essential. 

The professional generator installers at Mister Sparky have the technical knowledge and skills to do the job the right way. Each electrician at your local Mister Sparky branch is licensed and certified to perform residential electrical work. With so much experience, you can count on them to prepare your generator for years of safe, reliable use. We'll do what it takes to help you take control of your electrical supply while keeping your home stable, safe, and resilient.

Why Install a Generator on Your Property?

Electricity is an essential utility for modern households. From the refrigerator to the washing machine and television, you rely on electricity for numerous practical and entertainment purposes. An outage can be a significant disruption, especially if it lasts for days. Mister Sparky's generator installation services give you a way to access power when the main supply goes down. 

Adding a generator to your home’s electrical system is a great way to protect your family from prolonged power loss. When an outage occurs, flipping the transfer switch will shift your home's electrical system to your generator's power supply. There are multiple options to choose from. You can use a standby generator to power a few devices until power comes back. On the other hand, there are whole-home generators that can support multiple appliances at a time. Mister Sparky will help you choose a generator model that meets your needs and budget.

Your Home Generator Replacement Experts

We can fix most types of generators, but we’ll replace your generator if it’s beyond repair. With your approval, we’ll find a similar or superior replacement generator, remove the old unit, and install the new generator quickly and efficiently. 

As a part of every generator repair appointment, we’ll provide a detailed diagnosis of your generator’s functionality and advise repair or replacement based on our findings. Trust Mister Sparky to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision!

When to Install a New Generator 

While most high-quality and professionally installed generators last 30-40 years, there are several signs it’s time to replace your unit, including:

  • Constant repairs
  • Failure to start or keep running
  • Excessive fuel consumption
  • Inconsistent power output
  • Increased smoke and fumes
