Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Generators in Michigan

  • Why do I need a generator in Michigan?

    Michigan experiences severe weather conditions, including storms, heavy snowfall, and power outages. A generator can provide backup power during these situations, keeping your essential appliances and systems running and ensuring your comfort, safety, and convenience.

  • What types of generators are available?

    There are two primary types of generators: portable generators and standby generators. Portable generators are versatile and can be moved around, while standby generators are permanently installed and automatically activate when a power outage occurs.

  • What size generator do I need for my home or business?

    The size of the generator depends on your power needs. A professional electrician can assess your electrical load and recommend the appropriate generator size. Factors such as the number of appliances, lighting, and HVAC systems you want to power will be taken into consideration.

  • Can I install a generator myself?

    It is highly recommended to hire a professional electrician for generator installation. We have the expertise to ensure safe and proper installation, including proper electrical connections, compliance with local codes, and integration with your existing electrical system.

  • Are permits required for generator installation?

    Yes, permits are typically required for generator installations. We will handle the permit process and ensure that the installation meets all the necessary regulations and codes.

  • How often should I maintain my generator?

    Regular maintenance is crucial to keep your generator in optimal condition. It is recommended to have annual maintenance performed by a EZ Electric. We will inspect and test the generator, change the oil and filters, check for any issues, and ensure it is ready for operation when needed.

  • Can I use my generator indoors?

    No, portable generators should never be operated indoors, including inside garages, basements, or enclosed spaces. They produce carbon monoxide, which is a silent and deadly gas. Generators should be placed outside in a well-ventilated area, away from doors, windows, and air intakes.

  • Can a generator power my entire house?

    The capacity of the generator and your electrical load will determine how much of your house can be powered. Standby generators, typically connected directly to your electrical panel, can provide power to most or all of your home. However, it is important to prioritize essential appliances and systems during a power outage.

  • Are there noise restrictions for generators?

    Noise restrictions may vary depending on your location and local regulations. It is recommended to choose generators that are designed to operate quietly or install sound-reducing measures, such as enclosures or barriers, to minimize noise levels.

  • Can I use a generator to power sensitive electronics?

    Yes, you can power sensitive electronics using a generator. However, it is important to use a generator with clean power output (low Total Harmonic Distortion) and consider using surge protectors or voltage regulators to safeguard your electronic devices.
