Whole-home standby generator installation with 200A automatic transfer switch and concrete pad.
Project Overview
After multiple PG&E PSPS events, this Orinda family wanted seamless whole-home backup power.
Challenges
- Tight side-yard access for equipment
- Coordinating gas line upgrade with local utility
- Noise mitigation for neighbors
Solution
Installed a 24kW air-cooled Generac with sound-dampening enclosure and mobile link monitoring. The system exercises weekly and transfers in under 10 seconds.
Results
The home now stays fully powered during outages—HVAC, well pump, security, and all appliances remain operational.
