How It Works
We follow a clear, step-by-step process to ensure your generator is installed safely and functions reliably when you need it most.
We visit your property to evaluate your electrical panel, available space, fuel source access, and load requirements before recommending the right generator setup.
Plante Electric handles permitting in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, ensuring your installation meets all local codes and utility requirements before work begins.
Our licensed electrician installs the generator, transfer switch, and all associated wiring, following strict safety standards to protect your home and utility workers.
After installation, we test the full system under load conditions and walk you through operation, so you feel confident using your generator when power goes out.
Frequently asked
Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.
Q1
Yes, most standby generator installations in Rhode Island require an electrical permit. Plante Electric handles permit applications and coordinates inspections so you stay fully compliant with local regulations.
Q2
The right generator depends on your home's size, critical circuits, and fuel availability. During our site assessment, we evaluate your electrical panel and load requirements to recommend a properly sized standby or transfer-switch setup.
Q3
A transfer switch safely disconnects your home from the utility grid when the generator is running, preventing dangerous back-feed electricity. It is required by code and essential for protecting utility workers and your equipment.
Q4
Yes. Plante Electric installs generators for both residential and commercial properties in Northern RI and Southern MA, handling the additional load planning and code requirements that commercial installations involve.
Q5
Most standby generator installations are completed in one to two days, depending on panel access, transfer switch complexity, and permit timing. We will give you a realistic timeline during your initial assessment.
Q6
Yes. Plante Electric holds an active Massachusetts electrician license (MA Lic#61317) and Rhode Island license (RI Lic#016519), allowing us to legally perform generator installations across both states.
Q7
We primarily install standby generators with proper transfer switches. If you have questions about connecting a portable unit safely, contact us and we can discuss compliant options for your situation.
