Can I install a generator?

It is recommended that you have your GE Standby Generator System (generator and transfer switch) installed by a licensed contractor. Consulting a technician ensures an environment in which it is safe to install your new purchase. Failure to do so could render your generator install dangerous for both residents as well as repair workers trying to fix downed power lines.Professional installation is required to maintain the home generator’s warranty. Licensed technicians ensure that all the necessary permits are obtained to pass building inspections when installing a generator. Most GE Standby Generator Systems dealers are also capable of not only performing the necessary installation, but can also offer maintenance arrangements that ensure the generator is being serviced on a regular basis. See our Where to Buy page for the generator dealer nearest you.
