Frequently Asked Questions About Generators

  • A standby generator is an automatic backup power system that turns on the moment your home loses electricity. An automatic transfer switch senses the outage within seconds, starts the generator, and transfers your home’s electrical load to the unit. It restores power whether you are home or away so your essential systems stay running through any weather event or utility interruption.

    Once utility power is restored, the generator switches your home back to the grid and turns itself off until it is needed again.

    Standby generators are installed outside your home similar to a central air conditioning unit. They operate on natural gas or liquid propane and use your existing fuel supply so no refueling is needed during an outage.

    Hutchinson Electric offers home standby generators designed to run on a single fuel source either natural gas or liquid propane based on what works best for your home.

  • Hutchinson’s Electric installs portable gas generator systems as well as natural gas whole house standby generators. We work with trusted brands like Generac and Briggs and Stratton for long lasting performance, but we can install other brands based on your needs.

  • Installation time varies by generator type and setup needs, but most projects are completed within one to two days. We focus on fast, safe, and reliable service.

  • Absolutely. Every generator installation we complete includes a service warranty, giving you confidence in the quality and reliability of our work.

  • Yes. Generators need regular maintenance to keep them running at their best. Routine care like oil changes and filter replacements helps ensure strong performance and long term reliability.

    We recommend having your generator serviced once a year by a qualified technician from Hutchinson Electric. This keeps small issues from turning into big problems and helps protect your investment. You can also check your owner’s manual for specific maintenance guidelines and schedules.

  • We provide full generator maintenance services, including inspections, system testing, fluid and filter checks, and performance tuning to keep your generator running reliably year-round. Please visit our Generator Maintenance page for more more information.
