How Does an Electrician Install a Generator?
The installation of a residential or commercial generator is a job that must be entrusted to a licensed electrician. At Frank Mastro The Electrician, our technicians first assess your needs and your current electrical installation.
We then install a secure transfer panel, which automatically switches to the generator in the event of a power outage, without the risk of backfeeding into the public grid.
What’s the Difference between a Commercial and Residential Generator Installation?
A commercial generator installation involves much higher electrical loads than a residential one. The electrician must assess the total power required and size the system accordingly.
The applicable standards are also stricter: connection to the main panel, certified automatic transfer system, and compliance with the requirements of the Quebec Construction Code for commercial buildings.
