Permanent or Hard-wired Generator Installation Services
CoreTrade Electric is your trusted partner for permanent Generac generator installations in Northern Virginia. These fixed, hardwired generators offer superior reliability and power capacity compared to portable options.
Our permanent generator installation process includes:
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical needs to determine the appropriate generator size. We consider factors such as your home’s square footage, electrical panel capacity, and which systems you want to power during an outage.
During this consultation, we’ll also discuss fuel options for your permanent generator, including propane or your home’s natural gas connection, selecting the most convenient and efficient power source for your situation.
Step 2: Complete Installation Services
Our comprehensive generator installation services include:
- Installing the generator unit at an appropriate location on your property
- Running electrical wiring from the generator to your home
- Installing and integrating the automatic transfer switch with your electrical panel
- Setting up fuel line connections for natural gas or propane
- Configuring control systems for automatic operation
Step 3: Transfer Switch Installation
The transfer switch is a critical component of any generator system, allowing your home to safely switch between utility power and generator power. CoreTrade Electric installs and integrates transfer switches for both permanent and portable generators.
For permanent Generac generators, we install automatic transfer switches that detect power outages and seamlessly transition your home to generator power without any manual intervention.
For portable generators, we provide manual transfer switch installation with an outdoor connection point, allowing you to safely connect your portable generator to your home’s electrical system when needed.
Why Choose a Permanent Generator for Your Northern VA Home?
Permanent, hardwired generators offer several advantages over portable models:
- Higher power capacity. Permanent generators can power more of your home’s systems simultaneously.
- Automatic operation. No need to manually start the generator during an outage—it automatically comes on.
- Reliable fuel supply. Connection to your home’s natural gas line or a dedicated propane tank provides continuous operation.
- Seamless transition. Automatic transfer switches provide uninterrupted power to critical systems.
- Quieter operation. Permanent generators typically run more quietly than portable models.
- Weather-resistant. Permanent generators are designed to operate reliably in all weather conditions.
