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

The City of Federal Way issues its own electrical permits and does its own inspections instead of L&I. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Local Knowledge

What Is Different About Federal Way

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

Outages in Federal Way

Federal Way is on PSE and the Twin Lakes, Dash Point and Marine Hills neighborhoods lose power in the wind that comes off the Sound. Tree-lined streets go out first.

Federal Way houses

1960s–80s houses with 100-amp panels: an essentials transfer switch or an interlock for a portable generator is often the right size. We say so instead of selling a whole-house unit.

Who supplies the power

Puget Sound Energy.

FAQ

Federal Way Questions

Depends on the panel and the list. 1960s–80s houses with 100-amp panels: an essentials transfer switch or an interlock for a portable generator is often the right size. We say so instead of selling a whole-house unit.

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. The City of Federal Way issues its own electrical permits and does its own inspections instead of L&I. We pull the permit and meet the inspector. 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.
