Why Install a Backup Generator in Las Vegas?
When the power goes out, a backup generator keeps your AC, refrigerator, medical equipment, and essentials running - automatically, without hauling out a portable unit and running cords. Penny Electric handles the full installation: sizing, the electrical tie-in, the transfer switch, and permits. Here's what to consider:

Generator Installation FAQ
What size generator do I need?
It depends on whether you want whole-home coverage or just essential circuits - we calculate your load and recommend the right size.
Does a standby generator turn on automatically?
Yes - a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch starts on its own when it detects an outage.
Do I need a permit to install a generator?
Yes, generator installation requires permits and inspection; we handle both.
Whole-home vs. portable?
A permanently installed standby unit powers your home automatically and safely; portables require manual setup and cords, and can't safely power your whole panel.
