Let's make a plan.
Start a new generator plan or get help with your existing system. Your local crew will explain the next step.
The details that make the difference.
Review the appliances and systems you want available, including their running and starting demand. Define the transfer equipment and any loads that need to be managed.
Check the proposed site against the selected model’s instructions and local requirements. Clarify access, pad or foundation work, fuel availability and who handles each task.
Our electrical work includes the applicable electrical permit and inspection. The plan identifies each provider’s testing, startup and commissioning responsibilities, along with the operating information you will receive.
Do not bypass transfer equipment or connect a portable generator to a household outlet. If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call 911. Do not stay inside to investigate the generator.
No crossed wires.
Choose a free installation estimate or service for an existing generator. Share your address, backup priorities or the symptoms you have observed.
For installation, we assess the electrical needs and project interfaces. For repair, we confirm the agreed scope, investigate the electrical issue and explain any parts or specialist work needed.
Review the scope, price, responsibilities and expected sequence. Equipment, permits, site preparation and provider availability determine the schedule for your project.
Before we arrive.
Have these details ready for your conversation with the crew. Keep electrical covers closed while gathering information.
A quote that fits the work.
Ask for a scope that separates the generator and electrical work from fuel, site and other provider costs. Replacement equipment may also require changes to the existing installation.

Not necessarily. We assess the actual equipment you want to back up, including starting demand and combinations of loads. The plan may cover essentials, additional circuits or managed loads. The term whole-home does not establish a generator size or promise unlimited power.
The written scope identifies what is included and who performs each part. Live Wire’s electrical work includes applicable electrical permitting and inspection. Placement, a pad or foundation, fuel work, other permits and manufacturer startup may involve additional providers; those responsibilities should be clear before work begins.
Yes—tell us the make, model, alerts and which circuits are affected so we can confirm the appropriate electrical visit. The transfer equipment, controls and household connection need consideration together. Internal engine or proprietary repairs may require a specialist. Do not bypass the transfer equipment or keep attempting an unverified workaround.
