Power outages in Chesapeake and throughout Tidewater are not uncommon. Storms, hurricanes, and severe weather can leave homes without electricity for hours — sometimes days.
Installing a standby generator is a smart investment. But here’s what many homeowners don’t realize:
Not every electrician is certified to perform Generac generator installation.
And certification matters more than you think.
At Wire All Mechanical, we are certified to install and maintain Generac standby generators according to manufacturer standards and local code requirements.

Why Certification Matters
A Generac generator is permanently connected to your home’s electrical system and fuel supply. It is not a plug-in portable unit.
Proper Generac generator installation requires:
Load calculations to size the unit correctly
Transfer switch installation
Gas line sizing and pressure testing
Electrical panel integration
Permit coordination and inspection compliance
Improper installation can lead to:
Voided manufacturer warranties
Failed inspections
Safety hazards
System failure when you need it most
Certification ensures the system is installed correctly, safely, and professionally.
What a Professional Installation Includes
When we complete a Generac generator installation, we handle the entire process:
Correct Sizing
We calculate your home’s electrical demand so the generator can power what matters most.
Transfer Switch Installation
This allows your system to automatically switch from utility power to generator power during an outage.
Fuel Connection
Natural gas or propane lines must be properly sized and installed to support generator load.
Permits & Inspections
Generators require proper permitting and must meet local code.
Testing & Startup
We test the entire system before completion to ensure reliable operation.
Protect Your Investment
A standby generator is a significant investment. Choosing a certified Generac installer protects:
Your home
Your warranty
Your safety
Your long-term system performance
Backup power is only valuable if it works when the lights go out.
