Generator Installation & Residential Electrical Services in Reno, NV

Keep your home powered, safe, and ready for what Northern Nevada weather brings. We provide residential generator installation and electrical services built for Reno-area homes, so essential systems stay on, and your everyday life keeps moving.

Residential Generator Installation & Backup Power

Outages in the RenoTahoe region can arrive with winter storms, wildfire-related interruptions, or grid maintenance. A properly sized standby generator keeps critical systems online (HVAC, refrigeration, well pumps, medical devices, internet, lighting) without the scramble of portable units.

  • Reliable automatic transfer: when power drops, your system starts and switches over on its own.
  • Sized for your lifestyle: power only essential circuits or your whole home.
  • Code-compliant and inspection-ready: installed to meet Nevada and Reno-area requirements.
  • Future-ready planning: account for EV charging, smart home loads, and remodels.

Whole-House & Home Backup Generator Installation

Choose coverage that fits the way you live. Some families prioritize heat/AC, refrigeration, and outlets for work-from-home gear; others want seamless, full-home power so everything runs as usual. We’ll map your circuits and recommend an approach that matches comfort expectations and budget, without overbuying.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER INSTALLATION

Right-sizing matters. We evaluate square footage, HVAC tonnage, well or sump pumps, cooking and laundry equipment, and smart-home gear to recommend a generator that handles start-up surges and sustained loads. You’ll know exactly what’s covered, what isn’t, and why.

EV Charger Installation for Homes

Charge at home faster and more safely than a standard outlet. We install Level 2 charging stations with dedicated circuits sized for your vehicle and electrical panel, and we plan capacity so your charger and generator can coexist without tripping breakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does residential generator installation take?

Most projects take several days end-to-end once equipment is on site: covering site prep, electrical and gas connections, inspections, and testing. We’ll provide a clear schedule after your load assessment.

Do I need permits for generator installation in Reno, NV?

Yes! We handle the permitting and coordinate required inspections so the installation meets local and state electrical and fuel-gas codes.

What size generator do I need for my home?

It depends on your HVAC tonnage, appliances, pumps, and desired coverage. Our load assessment models both running and start-up (surge) demands to recommend the right size without overspending.

What’s the difference between a whole-house and a portable generator?

A whole-house standby generator starts automatically, powers selected circuits or the entire home, and uses a fixed fuel source. Portable units require manual setup, limited capacity, and typically can’t run large loads like central HVAC.

Can a generator power HVAC and essential appliances?

Yes! If it’s sized for the start-up surge and ongoing draw of your system. We’ll confirm options for heating/cooling plus refrigeration, lighting, and outlets important to you.

How often does a home generator need maintenance?

Expect routine service intervals based on hours of use and manufacturer guidance. We’ll show you basic checks and can recommend a maintenance plan.

Do you service areas outside of Reno?

Our primary market is Reno. We also serve Carson City, Incline Village, Truckee, and Crystal Bay. For other locations, contact us to discuss feasibility.
