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

Tacoma Power issues electrical permits and does the inspections inside its service territory. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Local Knowledge

What Is Different About Tacoma

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

Outages in Tacoma

Tacoma is on Tacoma Power, which is also the inspection authority inside the city. Outages are rarer than on PSE but the North End and Northeast Tacoma still go dark in big wind storms.

Tacoma houses

Old houses with small services and no side yard: portable-generator inlets with an interlock are most of what we install in Tacoma. Standby units go in where the lot and the panel allow it.

Who supplies the power

Tacoma Power, which is also the inspection authority inside the city.

FAQ

Depends on the panel and the list. Old houses with small services and no side yard: portable-generator inlets with an interlock are most of what we install in Tacoma. Standby units go in where the lot and the panel allow it.

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. Tacoma Power issues electrical permits and does the inspections inside its service territory. 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.
