Our licensed electricians are here to provide dependable whole-house generator installation, ensuring you’re never left without power.

What is a Whole-House Generator?

A whole-house generator is a backup system designed to provide electricity to your entire home during a power outage. Unlike smaller, portable generators that only power select appliances, a whole-house generator is hardwired into your home’s electrical system, automatically activating when the power goes out. It runs on either natural gas or propane, providing uninterrupted power to your home’s essential systems, including heating, cooling, lights, kitchen appliances, and more.

How Does a Whole-House Generator Compare to Other Types of Generators?

Portable Generators

Portable generators are typically smaller and less expensive than whole-house gerators. They are ideal for powering a few essential items, such as a refrigerator, lights, or a heater. However, portable generators require manual setup and refueling, and they may not provide enough power to keep your entire home running during a large-scale outage.

Standby Generators

Standby generators are similar to whole-house generators in that they are permanently installed and automatically turn on when the power goes out. The key difference is that standby generators are typically designed for smaller homes or limited power needs, while whole-house generators are built to handle the full load of a larger home’s electrical requirements.

Why Choose a Whole-House Generator?

Whole-house generators offer peace of mind, knowing that your home will remain powered even during the most extended power outages. Whether you're trying to keep your HVAC system running in extreme temperatures or ensure your refrigerator stays cold to prevent food spoilage, a whole-house generator is the most comprehensive solution for maintaining comfort, safety, and convenience.

Installation Service from Our Team

Installing a whole-house generator involves several important steps to ensure it’s done correctly, safely, and efficiently. Here’s what will happen during the installation process:

1. Consultation and Assessment

Our experts will review factors such as the size of your home, your energy usage, and which appliances or systems you want to keep running during a power outage. Based on this information, we help you choose the right size and type of generator to meet your needs.

2. Site Evaluation

Whole-house generators are typically installed outside the home, often on a concrete pad or gravel base. We evaluate the space for proper ventilation, accessibility for maintenance, and proximity to your home’s electrical and gas supply lines.

3. Electrical and Fuel Connection

Our licensed electricians will connect the generator to your home’s electrical system using a transfer switch. The transfer switch automatically detects a power outage and transfers the load to the generator without any manual effort on your part. For gas-powered generators, we will also make sure the generator is connected to a natural gas line or a propane tank. This ensures a continuous fuel supply, so the generator can run without interruption during extended outages.

4. Installation of the Generator

We ensure that the generator is securely mounted, properly connected to the electrical panel, and integrated with your home’s gas or propane supply. Our team ensures all wiring is safely stored, and that the unit is properly grounded to prevent electrical hazards.

5. Testing and System Check

We thoroughly test the generator to make sure it operates smoothly. We simulate a power outage to verify that the generator automatically turns on and supplies power to the home’s essential systems. We also check the fuel connection, the transfer switch, and the entire system to ensure everything is functioning as it should.

I contacted Condor Heating through Thumbtack, and they sent a technician the same day. He was professional, knowledgeable, and provided a thorough inspection of my heater. He gave me valuable feedback on whether to replace the gas valve or consider a new heater since mine is from 2009. They also provided a detailed quote and explanation via email. I really appreciated how they worked with me, explained my options clearly, and even waived the service call fee. I usually rely on the number of reviews when deciding who to call, but after working with Condor Heating, I’ve changed my perspective. Their service was excellent—highly recommend!

I’m a landlord. I’ve had many furnace inspections over the years for rental license renewals and I can say that Peter and Chris conducted the most thorough furnace inspections with the newest equipment that I’ve ever had done. My tenants and I can rest at night, knowing that they are safe from carbon monoxide. They showed up on time they were efficient and they were thorough. I use them for my business and I will also use them for my personal residence. Thanks again Elite Degrees!! Dave

Early on a cold morning, our furnace stopped working that supplies heat to our first floor and finished basement. I called them at 7:15AM and Peter took my call and dispatched Brandon to our house. Brandon was excellent! He was polite, respectful, and thorough. He had our Bryant Plus 90 up and running in no time after installing a new inducer and pressure switch. I highly recommend Condor Heating & Cooling!
