Benefits Of Routine Generator Service

A standby generator is only dependable if it’s properly maintained. Regular generator service helps identify worn components, fluid issues, and other potential problems before they lead to unexpected failures during a power outage. Keeping your generator in good condition also supports reliable operation, extends the life of the equipment, and helps ensure your home has backup power when it’s needed most.

Routine maintenance also gives our electricians the opportunity to test your generator, verify it starts and runs correctly, and confirm the system is ready to respond when utility power is interrupted.

Our Generator Installation Process

Installing a standby generator requires careful planning to ensure your home has reliable backup power when utility service is interrupted. Our licensed electricians manage every step of the installation process, from evaluating your home’s electrical needs to testing the system before it’s placed into service.

1. Evaluate Your Home’s Power Needs

We begin by discussing your backup power goals and evaluating your home’s electrical system. This helps determine the right generator size and identifies the circuits or appliances you want to keep powered during an outage.

2. Install The Generator And Transfer Switch

Our electricians install the standby generator, automatic transfer switch, and all required electrical connections according to manufacturer specifications and current electrical codes. We coordinate the installation to help ensure your system operates safely and reliably.

3. Test The System And Verify Operation

Before the installation is complete, we thoroughly test the generator, transfer switch, and backup power system. We’ll verify the generator starts automatically during a simulated power outage, restores power correctly, and operates as intended so your home is ready when the next outage occurs.

Very simply stated. These folks are just plain well trained and articulate in their finds. No push after inspection on things that need relief, and I’m no expert expect but experienced enough to know

Our experience with Harris was exceptional. Our tech, Matt, took a look at our leaking water heater, explained what he'd have to do, then provided us with three different estimates (which were in line with competitors' prices) which varied according to the extras provided. He didn't pressure us to get the most expensive one. Quite the opposite--he said that we were welcome to go for that, but that the middle package would work for us. We chose our package, and then he and his apprentice returned the very next day to do the work. All through the process, he was friendly and competent and explained, but never over-explained, what he was doing. I will be going to Harris for plumbing from now on.

I had a service appointment between 8 AM and 10 AM. They arrived approximately 830. We spoke about What I needed to have done, Quentin and Ray looked at what I needed it. Quentin suggested product that he had on the truck and that’s what I chose. He then went over the process of what they were going to do looked at a couple of things around my house that had to do with what was being fixed and proceeded to start the job after he gave me the estimate of what it would cost of which I approved and completed the job on a timely and neat basis

Had a faucet go bad and in the worst place possible. Harris plumbing came out, assessed and replaced the faucet in the same afternoon. No hassle and great service. Highly recommend.
