A standby generator starts on its own within seconds of an outage and keeps your air conditioning, refrigerator, medical equipment and lights running. AA Electrical Services & Design provides generator installation in La Ward, from sizing the unit to wiring the automatic transfer switch.

Generator installation in La Ward: local conditions
Along the Gulf Coast, salt air and humidity corrode outdoor panels, meter bases and AC disconnects faster than anywhere else in the state, and hurricane season brings outages, surges and flooding that can reach outlets and wiring. We see a lot of corroded exterior equipment, storm-damaged service masts and homes where backup power is a priority. We plan generator installation in La Ward with those conditions in mind.
Generator installation cost in La Ward
Generator installation cost in La Ward depends on the size of the generator, the transfer switch, the distance between the generator, the panel and the fuel source, whether gas line work is needed, and local permit requirements. Whole house units cost more than essential-circuit systems. We size the system to your loads and quote it as a complete installation.

Generator installation in La Ward: common questions
What size generator do I need for my La Ward home?
It depends on what you want to run. Central air conditioning is usually the largest load. We perform a load calculation and can size a generator for the whole house or for selected circuits.
Does a standby generator run on natural gas or propane?
Either. Homes with natural gas service usually connect to it. Homes without it use a propane tank. The fuel supply has to be sized for the generator.
Can I plug a portable generator into my house?
Only through a transfer switch or interlock kit with a proper inlet. Backfeeding through an outlet is dangerous to you and to utility line workers. We install safe portable generator hookups in La Ward.
How long does whole house generator installation take?
The electrical installation is often completed in a day or two once the pad, permit and fuel connection are ready. We go over the full timeline when we quote.
