Assessment
Understand loads, priorities, fuel and property constraints.
Home-first planning
The installation begins before the equipment arrives.
Capacity, transfer equipment, fuel supply, generator placement, electrical-service condition and local requirements all affect the final design. Tri-Volt starts with an on-site review so the written proposal reflects the home.

Common planning questions
Can every home use a whole-home generator?
Not automatically. The answer depends on the selected generator, electrical loads, load-management strategy, fuel supply and property conditions. The assessment compares practical approaches.
Do you handle the electrical permit?
The proposal will identify applicable permitting and inspection responsibilities for the electrical scope.
Can you install a generator purchased elsewhere?
Contact Tri-Volt before purchasing equipment. Compatibility, warranty, transfer equipment, condition and certification all need review before an installation can be accepted.
How long does installation take?
Timing depends on equipment availability, permits, site preparation, fuel coordination and project complexity. Your proposal will outline a realistic sequence.
