California households experience some of the highest rates of power outages in the country. Incidents include planned outages and disruptions due to high demand, heat waves, and wildfires. If you’d like to protect your home, Home Team Electric recommends a whole-home generator in Indio, CA. We’ll install a Generac generator that will cycle on automatically the next time the grid fails. Enjoy power for lighting, air conditioning, refrigerators, and more.
"This is a class-A company and I would recommend Home Team Electric to anyone who needs electrical work done. The techs, Josh and Carlos, were efficient, polite, friendly and accommodating. It is so nice to see a team of techs and a company with such high quality work! I was 120% satisfied and very relieved to have my electrical problem fixed!"
Most homes will need the addition of an automatic transfer switch (ATS) to accommodate a backup generator. Some generators include the ATS, while others require you to purchase it separately. Older houses may need additional upgrades to their electrical systems, including surge protection or even a panel replacement.
The two main fuel sources for a whole-home generator in Indio are natural gas and liquid propane (LP). Natural gas is preferable if your property has access because it’s the cheapest option and convenient. You’ll never run out of fuel unless there’s damage to the supply line. If you don’t have access, LP is a cost-effective alternative. You’ll just need to schedule deliveries and be mindful that there can be delays during periods of high demand.
We offer a range of backup generator sizes or capacities. What’s right for you depends on your goals and unique household. A smaller generator will deliver what we call essential coverage: lighting, cooling/heating, and refrigerators/freezers. A mid-size or larger Generac generator will provide what we call managed whole-home coverage. It’ll power the basics, and, selectively, you’ll be able to power kitchen appliances, TVs, computers, and so forth.
All generators need ongoing maintenance. Warranties require it, and it’s the best way to prevent problems and extend generator lifespans. Most brands advise scheduling every so many operating hours, or at least once a year. That means, most years, you’ll want to schedule a service appointment in early spring before the extreme weather arrives. Years where there’s a high rate of incidents, you may have to schedule two or more inspections.
