Why Install a Backup Generator?

 

Losing power is more than just an inconvenience. Depending on the length of the outage, it can affect your comfort, safety, food storage, medical equipment, security systems, and even your ability to work from home.


A professionally installed backup generator helps keep your home operating when utility power is unavailable.

Benefits include:

  • Keep your refrigerator and freezer running 
  • Maintain heating and air conditioning (depending on generator size) 
  • Operate sump pumps and well pumps 
  • Power medical equipment 
  • Keep lights, receptacles, and essential appliances working 
  • Maintain internet service and home security systems 
  • Reduce food spoilage during extended outages 
  • Improve comfort and peace of mind during severe weather 
  • Increase the value and appeal of your home 


For many Oklahoma homeowners, a backup generator is an investment in both convenience and safety.

Backup Power Solutions We Install

 

Every home has different electrical needs. That's why we evaluate your property before recommending the best backup power solution.


Standby Generator Installation


Standby generators automatically detect a utility power outage and restore electricity within seconds. Permanently installed outside your home, these systems provide dependable backup power without the need to manually connect a portable generator.

Standby generators are an excellent choice for homeowners who want automatic operation and dependable whole-home or partial-home backup power.


Generator Transfer Switch Installation


A transfer switch safely connects your generator to your home's electrical system while preventing dangerous back-feeding into utility lines.

Transfer switches are designed to safely isolate your home from the utility system while supplying power from your generator during an outage.


Generator Interlock Kit Installation


An interlock kit is a safe and economical way to connect many portable generators to your home's electrical panel.

When installed properly, an interlock kit helps prevent the main breaker and generator breaker from being energized at the same time, providing a code-compliant method of supplying power to selected household circuits.


Generator Inlet Box Installation


A weatherproof generator inlet box provides a convenient and safe connection point for your portable generator.

We install properly sized inlet boxes, wiring, breakers, and related electrical equipment designed specifically for generator applications.


Generator Electrical Connections


In addition to installing generators, we provide:

  • Dedicated generator circuits 
  • Generator disconnects 
  • Electrical panel modifications 
  • Generator breaker installations 
  • Generator receptacles 
  • Whole-home electrical integration 
  • Generator-ready electrical systems 


Every installation is designed to comply with current electrical codes and manufacturer requirements.

Portable Generator vs. Standby Generator

 

Choosing the right generator depends on your home's electrical needs, your budget, and how you plan to use backup power.


Portable Generator


A portable generator is a practical solution for homeowners who experience occasional power outages and want a more affordable backup power option.


Advantages

  • Lower initial cost 
  • Portable for multiple uses 
  • Excellent for essential circuits 
  • Can power refrigerators, lighting, garage doors, and selected appliances 


Considerations

  • Requires manual setup 
  • Must be started manually 
  • Requires proper fuel storage 
  • Cannot be operated indoors or in enclosed spaces 

Standby Generator

 

A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and automatically restores power when an outage occurs.


Advantages

  • Fully automatic operation 
  • No extension cords 
  • Permanent fuel supply 
  • Ideal for extended outages 
  • Can power most or all of the home depending on generator size 


Considerations

  • Higher installation cost 
  • Requires professional electrical installation 
  • Requires routine maintenance 


We'll help you determine which option best fits your home and your backup power goals.

OUR GENERATOR INSTALLATION PROCESS

26 kw Generac Generator in OKC


Consultation & System Planning

Every generator installation begins with an on-site consultation. We discuss your backup power goals, evaluate your home's electrical system, determine the best generator location, and answer any questions you may have. Our recommendations are based on your home's needs—not a one-size-fits-all approach.


Electrical Load Calculation

Proper generator sizing starts with understanding how much electricity your home requires during a power outage. We evaluate the electrical loads you want to operate, including air conditioning, heating equipment, refrigerators, lighting, medical equipment, internet equipment, and other essential appliances. This helps ensure your generator is properly sized without paying for unnecessary capacity.


Generator Sizing

Choosing the right generator is one of the most important decisions in the installation process. A generator that is too small may not power the equipment you need, while one that is oversized may cost more to purchase and operate than necessary. We help you select a generator that matches your electrical needs, budget, and backup power goals.


Natural Gas & Propane Evaluation

Most standby generators operate on natural gas or propane. If you're installing a natural gas generator, we evaluate your existing gas system to determine whether it can safely support the additional fuel demand. This includes reviewing manufacturer fuel requirements, evaluating existing gas piping, and determining whether modifications or utility upgrades may be needed.


Gas Meter Capacity Review

Some generator installations require additional natural gas capacity. We'll evaluate whether your existing gas meter can support the generator's fuel requirements and explain if coordination with your gas utility is necessary. If upgrades are required, we'll guide you through the process before installation begins.


Electrical System Inspection

Before installation, we inspect your electrical system to verify that it is suitable for generator integration. This includes evaluating your electrical panel, available breaker space, grounding and bonding, service size, and the best location for transfer equipment. Identifying potential issues beforehand helps ensure a safe and reliable installation.


Permits & Utility Coordination

When required, Wanner Electric LLC obtains the necessary electrical permits and coordinates inspections. If utility coordination or gas service upgrades are needed, we'll explain the process and work to help keep your project moving smoothly.


Professional Installation

Our installations are completed using quality materials and code-compliant workmanship. Depending on your project, installation may include the generator, transfer switch or interlock kit, generator inlet box, electrical panel modifications, grounding and bonding, system labeling, and complete operational testing.


Startup, Testing & Customer Walkthrough

Before we consider the project complete, we thoroughly test your backup power system to verify proper operation. We'll also walk you through generator operation, transfer switch functions, basic maintenance recommendations, and what to expect during a power outage so you feel confident using your new system. Our installation is done right the first time.
