Start with the loads that matter

Backup priorities first, equipment capacity second.

Backup-power planning starts with what a household wants to keep running. At Steady Power a clear list of priorities gives our installer something concrete to assess.

We discuss loads, placement and the installation.

We explain how load assessment, fuel arrangements and transfer equipment fit the proposal. Placement, applicable requirements, permits and maintenance are confirmed by us, not inferred from the size of a unit.

A STANDBY GENERATORS PLANNING CHECKLIST
  1. How will household loads and priorities be assessed?
  2. Who confirms fuel, placement and transfer-equipment requirements?
