Generator Installation in Howard County

Do you want to avoid the pitfalls that come with a power outage? Talk to Blackstone Plumbing & Electric about installing a generator. Standby generators are designed to automatically kick on and provide power during outages, offering convenience and peace of mind. At Blackstone Plumbing & Electric, we offer standby generator installation services that pay close attention to detail, efficiently integrating your generator with your property’s electrical system.

Portable generators are a more budget-friendly solution, and they even offer additional flexibility if you need a limited amount of power in different places. At Blackstone Plumbing & Electric, we provide tailored solutions to make running your home or business on a portable generator safe and straightforward. We install transfer switches—a critical component that allows for a smooth transition between your main power source and backup generator. We also offer professional preparation for portable generator connections, setting up your system to function safely and reliably on generator power during emergencies.

What Size Generator Do I Need?

A generator that’s too big will be a hefty investment from which you may never draw full value. However, a generator that is too small won’t be able to provide power to meet your needs when you need it most. Determining the right size generator for your home or business is a critical decision that requires careful consideration of what you’ll need during an outage and what your budget and goals for a generator are. We start with learning more about your specific power needs—identifying the essential appliances, systems, and equipment you want to keep running during an outage, such as refrigerators, HVAC systems, or computers. Once you figure out their combined wattage requirements, it will give you a clearer idea of the generator capacity you’ll need. We also highly recommend consulting with one of our professional generator experts who can help take the guesswork out of the process. At Blackstone Plumbing & Electric, we offer honest and straightforward recommendations based on our experience and genuine opinion.

Connecting a Generator During a Power Outage

Connecting your home to generator power during an outage should always be done with safety as the top priority. Never attempt to connect a generator directly to your home’s wiring without the proper equipment, such as a professionally installed transfer switch. A transfer switch prevents dangerous backfeeding that could energize offline electrical lines, harming utility workers or damaging your electrical system in the process. 

If you have a transfer switch installed, always follow your generator manufacturer’s instructions for safely connecting it to your home. Likewise, always keep your unit outdoors in a well-ventilated area, and never operate it near doors or windows to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. If in doubt, seek professional assistance to set up and operate your generator safely.
