What You Get

Standby and Portable Generators

Done once, done to code, inspected.

Standby generator

Permanently installed, on natural gas or propane, with an automatic transfer switch. Starts itself seconds after the power drops.

Portable generator hookup

An inlet on the outside wall and an interlock or transfer switch at the panel. Roll the generator out, plug in, flip over. Legal and safe.

Sized to what matters

Whole house, or the essentials: heat, fridge, well or sump pump, lights, internet. We size it to the list, not to the biggest unit.

Permit and inspection

Washington L&I issues the electrical permit and sends the inspector. We pull it and meet them.

Local Knowledge

What Is Different About Covington

The panel, the lot and the utility decide most of the job. Here is what we usually find.

Outages in Covington

Covington is on PSE and loses power in the big wind storms most winters, sometimes for a day or more. The east side toward Lake Sawyer and the wooded plats go out most.

Covington houses

1990s-and-newer houses with 200-amp panels take a standby generator and automatic transfer switch cleanly. Most have a side yard with room for the pad and the clearances the code requires.

Who supplies the power

Puget Sound Energy. Wind storms take the power out often enough that generator calls spike every winter.

FAQ

Covington Questions

Depends on the panel and the list. 1990s-and-newer houses with 200-amp panels take a standby generator and automatic transfer switch cleanly. Most have a side yard with room for the pad and the clearances the code requires.

The transfer switch sees the outage and starts the generator within about ten seconds. Lights back on, nobody touches anything.

Yes, for the electrical side. Washington L&I issues the electrical permit and sends the inspector. We pull it and meet them. The fuel line is done by a licensed gas fitter.

Portable with an inlet and interlock covers the essentials for a fraction of the cost and needs you home to start it. Standby covers everything and starts itself. We quote whichever fits.

You get the exact price after we size it and look at the panel and the site, before any work starts. You approve it first.
