## Generator Installation in Rialto, CA

Backup power only helps if the switching works when nobody is home. Automatic transfer switches, interlocks and battery systems all need to isolate from the utility cleanly, and that is where a bad install becomes dangerous for line crews as well as for you.

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 Rialto

### 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.

### Not sure what size to buy

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

### 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.

### 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.

## Reviews from San Bernardino 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.

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

Zinsco panel replaced. Straight quote, one day of work, and they handled the utility disconnect scheduling so I didn't have to call anyone.

## Generator Installation in Rialto — 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.

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.

Can you install a battery instead of a generator in Rialto?

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.

Do I need a permit to install a generator in Rialto?

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 Rialto?

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.
