When the gas and electric meters are located on opposite sides of the home or are far apart, it is often more efficient to run the electric line through the attic. This approach reduces the need for extensive trenching, disrupting landscaping or exterior aesthetics, providing a cleaner, more streamlined installation. This method ensures optimal power supply to the generator while keeping the installation process efficient and less invasive. Attic access is required, and this Installation process may not work for all homes. 

Underground trenching involves digging a trench to safely run gas and/or electric lines from the meter to the generator location. This method keeps lines protected from the elements, maintaining a clean and secure installation while minimizing visual impact. The trench is carefully filled after installation to restore the landscape, ensuring a professional and lasting result.

In some cases, we can safely use the existing gas line for your pool heater to supply gas to your generator, provided it meets the required capacity and safety standards. This can simplify the installation process and reduce costs by utilizing an already-installed line. Our team will evaluate the current line to ensure it’s suitable for the additional load, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure safe and efficient operation of your generator.
