Questions & answers
Common questions about generator installation
These answers help customers understand the service before they call or request a quote.
Can a generator power my whole house?
Sometimes, but many homes are better served by an essential-circuit setup. Whole-home backup depends on generator size, electrical load, transfer equipment, and service capacity.
Why do I need a transfer switch?
A transfer switch or approved transfer method keeps generator power from backfeeding into utility lines and helps protect the electrical system and workers.
Do you supply the generator?
Hundel Electric focuses on the electrical installation and safe connection side. Generator supply can depend on the brand, fuel type, and project needs.
Can you wire a generator for a business?
Yes, for commercial properties where the scope is practical and the backup power needs are clear.
