A proper generator installation for your Helena home involves several key steps. First, we assess your home's power needs to size the generator correctly. The installation includes setting up the generator unit, installing a critical component called a transfer switch that safely disconnects your home from the grid during an outage, and connecting it to your home's electrical panel. We ensure the entire system meets local codes for safe, automatic operation when you need it most.

A frequently tripping breaker is a common sign of an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a faulty breaker itself. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause—whether it's too many devices on one circuit, faulty wiring, or an aging breaker panel. We then provide a clear repair plan, which may involve circuit breaker repair or replacement, adding a new dedicated circuit, or upgrading your electrical panel to safely handle your home's modern power demands.
