Standby generator installation with automatic transfer switches for homes and businesses across Greater Los Angeles.
Power outages in Los Angeles are becoming more frequent — driven by heat waves, wildfire-related shutoffs, and aging grid infrastructure. A standby generator automatically kicks in within seconds of an outage, keeping your lights, refrigerator, medical equipment, and HVAC running without you lifting a finger.
Start Electric installs Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton standby generators sized for your specific load requirements. We handle everything from the natural gas or propane connection to the automatic transfer switch wiring, city permit, and final inspection — you just enjoy the peace of mind.
Standby generators sense an outage and start automatically — usually within 10–30 seconds. No fumbling with extension cords or portable units in the dark.
We calculate your critical loads to recommend the right generator size — typically 14kW to 22kW for whole-home coverage. Oversized or undersized generators waste money and fail early.
Generators need regular servicing to be reliable when you need them. We offer annual tune-up packages including oil change, battery check, and load testing.
