Benefits of Having a Standby Generator

Given North Georgia’s weather patterns and aging grid in parts of the region, these advantages translate into real, everyday peace of mind. Installing a standby generator delivers several practical benefits for North Georgia homeowners and businesses:

Immediate Backup Power

With an automatic transfer switch, the generator senses a power outage and switches the house over within seconds so critical systems stay online.

Increased Property Value:

Homes with reliable backup power often attract buyers and can command a higher market value thanks to the added convenience and safety.

Emergency Preparedness:

Standby generators keep medical devices, refrigerators, HVAC systems, and communications equipment running during outages — a key advantage in emergencies.

I cannot say enough good things about Electric Company and its owner, Jon Purcell. Over the past 15 years, I’ve purchased two generators and a full solar panel installation from Jon, and not once has he let me down or disappointed me.

Jon is the definition of reliable and trustworthy. He stands behind his work long after the installation is complete. He has consistently maintained our generators over the years and has always been there when we needed him, whether it was routine service or something more time-sensitive. That kind of long-term dependability is rare and incredibly valuable.

What sets Jon apart is his professionalism and integrity. He clearly knows his craft, communicates honestly, and takes pride in doing things the right way. Every interaction has reinforced my confidence that I made the right choice working with him.

I’ve referred Jon and Electric Company to friends many times over the years without a moment’s hesitation, and I will continue to do so. When someone asks me who they should trust for generators or solar, Jon is always my first recommendation. If you’re looking for a company that delivers excellent work, stands behind it, and treats customers right for the long haul, Electric Company is it.

Why Electric Company

We don’t just install generators — we give you peace of mind. When the power goes out, you’ll know you made the right call.

The Generator Installation Process: From Site Assessment to Permit Sign-Off

A professional installation follows clear steps to ensure safety and compliance. Typical stages include:

Step 1 – Site Assessment

Technicians evaluate where the unit will sit, available fuel lines (natural gas or propane), power needs, and access for equipment.

Step 2 – Generator Sizing & Load Management

Calculations determine the right whole-home standby generator size and a plan for load management to prioritize essential circuits.

Step 3 – Automatic Transfer Switch Installation

The automatic transfer switch is installed to detect outages and switch power from the grid to the generator safely and automatically.

Step 4 – Local Permitting

Installers prepare and submit permits required by Cherokee, Cobb, or Fulton counties, ensuring compliance with North Georgia electrical code. Electric Company manages permit submissions to keep the process efficient.

Step 5 – Installation & Wiring

Licensed electricians complete the equipment installation, wiring, grounding, and safety measures following code requirements.

Step 6 – Final Inspection & Permit Sign-Off

Inspectors verify compliance and performance. A final test run of the generator and transfer switch confirms readiness before sign-off.

Following this structured process helps deliver a safe, reliable backup power system customized to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a whole-house generator cost in Woodstock, GA?

It depends on the size of the system, fuel type, and installation details. Installation costs depend on generator size, site complexity, and permitting. Typical turnkey installations range from $3,000 and $15,000, depending on the system and installation needs. Permitting fees vary by municipality and reflect local administrative and inspection costs. Understanding each jurisdiction’s requirements helps set expectations for timelines and budgets. Cherokee County requires detailed electrical and building permits; typical processing is 2–3 weeks and work must meet county electrical standards consistent with North Georgia code. Cobb County enforces placement and noise restrictions; permit applications usually take 10–15 business days to process and must follow county guidelines. Fulton County often includes more extensive inspections and environmental checks, with average permit approval timelines around 3–4 weeks. Knowing these differences helps you anticipate project timing and avoid delays. We provide free, customized quotes so you know exactly what to expect.

How long does installation take?

Most residential systems are fully installed within 1–2 days once permits are approved.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Absolutely. Preventative maintenance helps ensure your generator works when you need it most.

Are you an authorized Kohler dealer?
