Power outages in Star, ID hit harder than most people expect
What we do
We handle every step of your Generator Installation from start to finish — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no confusion.
- Site assessment — we evaluate your home's electrical panel, fuel source, and the right generator size for your load needs
- Permit coordination — we handle the local permitting paperwork so you don't have to
- Transfer switch installation — a properly wired automatic transfer switch keeps your generator and utility power safely separated
- Whole-home or essential-circuit coverage — you choose what stays on; we make sure it does
- Final inspection and walkthrough — we don't leave until you understand how your system works
We also offer Panel Upgrades if your current panel isn't ready to support a new generator — something we'll catch during your assessment and tell you upfront.
