The generator itself is only part of the job. Sizing comes first: we add up the loads you want to run and choose a unit that can start them without strain. Then comes the pad and placement, the gas connection in coordination with your plumber or gas supplier, the automatic transfer switch at the panel and the permit. Generac is headquartered right here in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and its air-cooled home standby units are the ones we are asked about most, but we install and wire other major brands as well.
North Fond du Lac belongs to northeast Wisconsin's string of working towns around the Fox River, Lake Winnebago and Green Bay, with housing that ranges from early-1900s homes to new subdivisions. In Fond du Lac County we regularly upgrade older services, rewire two-story homes built before grounding was standard and wire new construction on the edge of town.

A generator makes sense for your North Fond du Lac home if

North Fond du Lac generator installation FAQ
Can I just plug a portable generator into an outlet?
No. Back-feeding through an outlet can electrocute utility workers and destroy your generator when the grid returns. An inlet box with an interlock or transfer switch is the safe, legal way to do it.
What size generator do I need for my North Fond du Lac home?
It depends on what you want to keep running. Many homes with gas heat are well served by a 14 to 26 kW air-cooled unit. We do a load calculation rather than guess, because an undersized generator stalls and an oversized one wastes fuel.
Does a standby generator run on natural gas or propane?
Either. In town, natural gas is the usual choice. Rural properties around North Fond du Lac typically use propane, and we coordinate tank sizing with your supplier.
How long does installation take?
The on-site work is usually one to two days once the generator, permit and gas connection are lined up.
