Generac Generator Installation Materials and Equipment

Professional Backup Power Installation by TriStar Electric Inc.

What Makes Our Installations Different

A standby generator is only as reliable as the installation behind it.

Many failures during outages come from improper sizing, fuel supply issues, or transfer switch wiring, not the generator itself.

Our Installation Standards

• Proper electrical load calculation
• Correct transfer switch configuration
• Code compliant placement clearances
• Fuel coordination and installation with gas/propane providers
• Clean wiring and labeling
• Full system outage simulation testing

We install generators so they work years later, not just the day we leave.

Natural Gas & Propane Generator Options

Natural Gas

Continuous fuel supply during most outages
