Standby Generator hookup Seattle electrical contractors

There are two types of generator systems that SeaTown Electric installs. The first is a  standby home generator. This will keep your power on during an outage. It’s installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically whether you’re home or away. All within seconds of a power outage. Plus home generators run on propane or natural gas so there’s no refueling.

So how does it work? Its simple. Your automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors the electricity coming from the utility. It's working 24/7 to protect your home. This device can be located exterior or interior. When the power fails or incoming voltage drops to brown out levels the ATS recognizes the power failure and prompts the generator to turn on. This system is designed for the consumer who does not want the hassle of wheeling out a portable generator, refueling it and maintaining it throughout the seasons. The Kohler generator is preferred by SeaTown Electric for various reasons, warrantee, consumer reports, and quality. It also has capability of remote monitoring through a very simple to use app. This generator runs automatic and flawless. 

The second option for power restoration is the portable option. This system is 100% manual. When the power goes out you would wheel out your portable generator, plug it in, activate your interlock kit, start the generator and choose the circuits you want to turn on. When choosing the size of a generator, we recommend a 5,000-10,000 watt (or 5kw-10kw) for portable generators. If it is a standby automatic system we recommend 14,000-20,000 watt (or 14kw-20kw).
