Generator Integration

Seamlessly integrate a standby generator with your home’s electrical system—and with solar and battery storage if you have it. We design and install transfer equipment, coordinate gas and electrical work, and commission your system to run safely and automatically during outages.

What’s Included in Professional Generator Integration

  • Load analysis and backup priorities (critical circuits vs. whole-home)
  • ATS/interlock selection (service-entrance rated or load-side) with proper neutral switching
  • Gas fuel coordination (natural gas/propane): sizing, regulator, pad and clearances
  • Code-compliant wiring, grounding and bonding; surge and carbon-monoxide safety
  • Clean installation with labeled circuits and tidy conduit runs
  • Utility coordination, permitting, inspections and compliance (NEC 702)
  • Solar + generator coexistence (anti-islanding, hybrid inverter settings, generator-safe modes)
  • Outage simulation and startup testing (voltage/frequency checks, transfer timings)
  • Monitoring/app setup and maintenance plan options
  • Future-ready design for battery expansion, EV charging and additional loads
Compatible with leading brands like Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, and Champion. We’ll help you choose between essential-loads backup or whole-home coverage, and ensure it plays nicely with solar and batteries to maximize resilience and fuel efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I upgrade my electrical panel?

If your panel is over 25 years old, frequently trips breakers, or can’t handle modern appliances (HVAC, EV chargers, etc.), it’s time to consider an upgrade.

What are the signs my home needs rewiring?

Flickering lights, frequent tripped breakers, burning smells, or outlets that spark are all warning signs. Older homes with aluminum wiring may also require rewiring.

Is it safe to DIY electrical work?

No. Electrical work requires licensed professionals for safety and code compliance. DIY wiring can lead to fire hazards, failed inspections, and voided insurance coverage.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers and ensure your electrical panel can handle the additional load. We’ll also help you select the right charger for your vehicle.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Most panel upgrades take 4–8 hours. Larger projects that involve rewiring or meter relocation may take longer, especially if utility coordination is needed.

Can you add more outlets and lighting to my home?

Yes. We can install additional outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures, ensuring everything is properly grounded and code-compliant.

Do I need surge protection?

Whole-home surge protection helps prevent damage from power surges, lightning strikes, and utility spikes. It’s highly recommended for modern homes with sensitive electronics.

What’s the cost of rewiring a house?

Costs vary depending on the size of the home, age, and condition of the existing wiring. We provide free estimates after a virtual assessment call about your electrical system, and a pre-site visit confirms the details before installation.

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Yes. All of our electricians are fully licensed, insured, and trained to meet national and local electrical codes for safe, compliant work.

Do you offer emergency electrical services?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service for urgent electrical issues such as power loss, burning smells, or sparking outlets. Call us immediately if you experience these problems.

Don and the rest of the crew did an excellent job upgrading our house HVAC systems. Don spent hours dialing in our project. His quotes were extremely thorough and fit our budget. Steve performed the technical walk-through and the actual removal and new install, with Ivan. These guys worked their behinds off on two of the hottest days this Summer in the attic of our house--without a complaint or hesitation. Impressive! Impressive too that the job they did was excellent. We're really happy with our new variable speed system--it has been keeping us comfortable since it came online. Thanks to all the folks at U.S. Energy Solutions. We'd recommend them highly to anyone for their integrity, competency and true commitment to excellence in their work.

Ivan Gretchen and Steven Salazar did a great job installing my mom’s hv/ac unit and heat pump hot water heater. They both were very professional and very knowledgeable on the products they were installing sticking around to make sure my mom and I understood this new technology “new to us”. They left no mess and cleaned up all the old equipment that came out of the house.

Our technician was JC and he was professional, and very knowledgeable. Our Generac generator had nothing on the screen and it ended up that we needed a new battery( after 6 years). He also reconnected us to our WiFi which we also lost. He got it up and running, did all the regular maintenance, oil change, filters , etc and we are now good to go. We will never use another company. US Energy Solutions are the very best!!
