Whole-House Generator Installation & Repair Martinez, GA And Surrounding Areas

Stay Prepared When the Power Goes Out

As part of the Southeast, Georgia faces risks of thunderstorms, high winds, and occasional tornadoes, but power outages can also be caused by equipment failures or maintenance issues. In the event of a power outage, you want to be sure that your home is always kept powered and safe, especially in the event of an emergency. If you have any type of medical equipment at home, you don’t want to risk that being shut off. Or if an outage were to happen while you were out of town, you want to make sure that your food doesn’t spoil because your refrigerator doesn’t have power. If you don’t have a backup plan, you need to consider whole-house generator installation & repair in Martinez, GA, so you can have peace of mind.

Does My Home Need a Whole-House Generator?

Back in 2024, we saw Hurricane Helene knock out the power for at least 1.5 million Georgians, many of them for days. If you were not prepared for this power outage, that meant you were without heating and air conditioning, no light, and no hot water or even running water. There was no way to communicate with your loved ones once your phone battery died. Not to mention how scary all of this can be for families with small children who don’t understand what’s going on or elderly family members at home who need running medical equipment every day. When you have a whole-house generator, it completely changes the game when the power goes out. You can keep your home running as normally as possible until the power is back on. 

Whole-house generator installation in Georgia does require a permit per state law. Our electricians will handle this step for you, so you don’t have to worry!

What Kind of Whole-House Generator Do I Need?

When you call Ferrell Electric for a whole-house generator installation in Martinez, our team will help you determine the best generator for the size of your home, the energy requirements you have, and your budget. Generators have several different categories they can fall under: 

  • Fuel Type: There are three fuel types for generators: diesel, propane, or natural gas. If your home has an existing gas line, natural gas is a great option. Propane generators are optimal for more rural homes with tank storage. And diesel generators are great for larger homes. 

  • Power Capacity: There are different-sized generators to fit different needs: smaller generators are best if you want to make sure certain appliances, like your refrigerator, don’t lose power during an outage. Medium power generators can run power to more appliances, like your HVAC unit, water pump, and washer and dryer. Large generators are the best fit if you need to run medical devices 24/7, such as power wheelchairs or scooters, or any oxygen or breathing machines. 

  • Special Features: Different generators offer different features. Automatic generators trigger once a power outage is detected and minimize power disruptions. Inverter generators are less noisy and more fuel-efficient, while smart generators let you monitor your usage and performance with an app on your phone.
