Emergency Generator Installation
Choosing the Right Generator
Although blackouts are inconvenient, if you are without power for an extended period of time, you may face a variety of issues, including spoiled food and icy showers as well as more serious issues.
Built-in emergency generators operate on a variety of fuels, typically natural gas, liquid propane, or diesel, and produce various levels of power. Some turn on by themselves, while others require manual activation. To give you peace of mind, Mission Electric can assist you in selecting the appropriate emergency generator for your home and installing it.
