## Generator Installation in Monte Sereno, CA

A standby generator that runs your whole Monte Sereno house is a different machine from one that keeps the fridge, the furnace and a few lights alive. Rupert Electrical Solutions starts with a load study so you buy the right size instead of the one on the showroom floor.

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in Monte Sereno

### Not sure what size to buy

We meter and calculate rather than estimate. Most Monte Sereno homes land between 14kW and 26kW depending on AC, well pumps and electric ranges.

### Extension cords through a window

Common and genuinely dangerous. An inlet box and interlock costs a fraction of a standby unit and ends the practice.

### Whole house or essential circuits

A critical-load subpanel is far cheaper than whole-house coverage and keeps heat, refrigeration and internet running. We price both.

### Existing generator won't start on outage

Usually the transfer switch, the battery or the exercise routine, not the engine. We diagnose the switching first.

## Reviews from Santa Clara County

★★★★★

Our restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.

★★★★★

Warehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.

Greg L.Warehouse lighting · Monte Sereno
★★★★★

Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.

## Generator Installation in Monte Sereno — questions

Will the generator start automatically when the power goes out?

With an automatic transfer switch, yes, typically within 10 to 30 seconds. With a manual switch or interlock you start it and flip the switch yourself, which is a cheaper install.

Can you install a battery instead of a generator in Monte Sereno?

Yes. Battery backup runs silent, needs no fuel and pairs with solar, but has a fixed energy budget. For multi-day PSPS events a generator still wins on runtime.

How often does a standby generator need service?

An annual service plus the weekly self-exercise cycle. The exercise routine matters more than owners expect, because it is what catches a dead battery before an outage does.

Do I need a permit to install a generator in Monte Sereno?

Yes, and often a gas permit too. We handle the electrical permit and inspection and coordinate with your gas contractor or plumber.

How much does a whole house generator cost in Monte Sereno?

The unit is roughly half the project. The rest is the transfer switch, pad, gas line, electrical and permit. Sizing drives everything, so call (833) 652-8933 and we will run a load study before quoting.
