We size the generator based on the circuits you actually need during an outage in California, whether that is the whole home or just refrigeration, well pump, HVAC and medical equipment. Once the unit and transfer switch are chosen, we install the electrical side, coordinate fuel hookup, and test a full simulated outage before handing it over.

Homeowners across California, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose, count on their generators through shutoff events every year. If you already own a portable generator, a manual transfer switch and inlet box gives you a safe way to power the house without dangerous extension cords.

A generator is worth it for your California home if

  • Your area sees public safety power shutoffs
  • Someone in the home relies on powered medical equipment
  • You have a well pump, sump pump or freezers
  • You work from home and cannot afford downtime
  • You want AC and lights through summer outages

Frequently asked questions

How much does generator installation cost in California?

Total cost depends on generator size, transfer switch type and distance from the panel. California customers get a written quote covering all electrical work and permits.

Do you install the gas line too?

We handle all electrical work and coordinate with a plumbing or gas contractor for the fuel connection so the project is seamless.

Can you add a transfer switch for my portable generator?
