Backup Generator Installation in Sacramento, CA

Professional Backup Generator Installation in Sacramento

In Sacramento, a reliable power supply is not a luxury—it's a necessity. With the increasing frequency of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), seasonal weather events, and an aging grid, homeowners and business owners can no longer afford to be left in the dark. A professionally installed backup generator from AirWorks Solutions is your ultimate safeguard, providing seamless, automatic power to protect your family, your assets, and your peace of mind. Investing in a backup power solution ensures your lights stay on, your food stays fresh, your security systems remain active, and your life continues without interruption.

Our Comprehensive Installation Process: A Turnkey Solution

A backup generator is a sophisticated piece of equipment that integrates directly with your property’s electrical and fuel systems. Proper installation is paramount for safety, reliability, and compliance. The meticulous process used by AirWorks Solutions ensures every detail is handled with precision, providing you with a truly hands-off experience from start to finish.

On-Site Consultation and Expert Sizing

The foundation of a successful installation is choosing the right generator. Our process begins with a thorough on-site assessment. We evaluate your property’s layout, existing electrical infrastructure, and specific power needs. We discuss whether you want to power essential circuits—like refrigerators, HVAC, and medical equipment—or your entire home or business. Based on this detailed load calculation, we recommend the perfect generator size (kW) and fuel type (natural gas or propane) to meet your requirements without overspending on unnecessary capacity.

Strategic Site Selection and Preparation

Location matters. We identify the optimal placement for your generator that complies with all local Sacramento building codes, manufacturer specifications, and noise ordinances. This includes ensuring proper clearance from windows, doors, and vents. Once the location is finalized, our team prepares the site, which typically involves installing a sturdy, level concrete pad to serve as a secure and vibration-dampening base for the unit.

Professional Electrical Integration and Transfer Switch Installation

This is the heart of the operation. Our certified electricians professionally install an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). The ATS constantly monitors the power coming from the utility. The instant it detects an outage, it safely disconnects your home from the grid and signals the generator to start. Within seconds, the ATS automatically transfers the electrical load to the generator. When utility power is restored, the process reverses, and the generator shuts down—all without you lifting a finger.

Secure Fuel Line Connection

A reliable fuel source is critical for continuous operation. Our technicians are licensed and qualified to run a dedicated fuel line from your property’s natural gas meter or propane tank directly to the generator. We perform rigorous testing to ensure the connection is secure, leak-free, and compliant with all safety standards, guaranteeing your generator has the fuel it needs when it matters most.

System Commissioning and Rigorous Testing

Once all components are installed, we commission the entire system. This involves a comprehensive series of tests where we simulate a power outage to verify that every function operates flawlessly. We check the startup sequence, power transfer, voltage, and frequency to ensure the system performs exactly as designed.

Complete Customer Orientation

Before we consider the job complete, we walk you through the entire system. We explain how the generator and transfer switch work, show you the control panel, and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your new backup power system.

Navigating Sacramento’s Permitting and Regulations

Installing a backup generator in Sacramento County requires adherence to specific local and state regulations. Navigating this web of permits and codes can be daunting for property owners. AirWorks Solutions handles this entire process on your behalf. Our team is deeply familiar with the requirements set forth by the City of Sacramento, Sacramento County, and the State of California.

We manage the acquisition of all necessary electrical and plumbing permits, coordinate required inspections, and ensure every aspect of the installation—from placement and wiring to fuel connections—is fully compliant with building codes. This expert management prevents costly delays and ensures your installation is not only safe but also fully legal, protecting your property's value and your investment.
