Thinking about installing a backup generator? It's a smart move—especially in a climate like ours, where power outages are common during storms and extreme cold. But for many homeowners, the process can feel overwhelming if they’re not sure what to expect.
At Murtex Electric, we make generator installation straightforward and stress-free. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we handle the process so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
We start with a conversation about your needs. Do you want to power your entire home, or just the essentials? Are there specific appliances or systems (like medical devices, sump pumps, or HVAC) that need priority?
Once we understand your goals, we’ll visit your home to assess:
Based on your energy needs, we’ll help you choose the right generator size and model. Bigger isn’t always better—oversized generators cost more and use more fuel unnecessarily. We size your system carefully to balance comfort, cost, and efficiency.
Murtex Electric handles all necessary electrical permits and coordinates with utility companies or fuel suppliers as needed. We also ensure everything is prepared for a smooth install—this might include trenching, a new concrete pad, or fuel line work depending on your property.
On installation day, our licensed electricians will:
We keep the work area clean and treat your home with care throughout the process.
Once installation is complete, we test your generator under simulated outage conditions to ensure everything is working perfectly. We’ll walk you through how the system works, what to expect during an outage, and how to monitor or maintain it.
Installing a backup generator is one of the best ways to protect your home from unexpected outages. With Murtex Electric, you can count on clear communication, professional installation, and local expertise every step of the way.
