Generator back up in Denver, CO

Protect Your Home With A Standby Generator

Did you know that many insurance companies offer premium discounts for homes with standby generators? Backup generators reduce risk by preventing damage from power outages, like frozen pipes or sump pump failures.

Get a professionally installed, automatic generator connected to gas or propane, and inform your agent to qualify. With an automatic transfer switch, power is typically restored to your home within seconds. The system constantly monitors the utility power supply and, when an outage is detected, the generator automatically starts and transfers the electrical load.

Doesn’t that sound reassuring?

Generator Installation FAQs

Will I need a permit to install a generator in Denver?

Yes, generator installations require both building and fire department approvals involving detailed plans, inspections, and adherence to specific safety codes. Bell handles all permitting, inspections, and code compliance requirements, ensuring your generator installation meets all local regulations and safety standards.

How long does generator installation take in Denver?

Most generator installations are completed within 1-2 days, though this may vary depending on complexity, electrical work needed, and fuel hookup requirements. Bell works efficiently to minimize disruption.

What fuel types do you recommend for Denver generators?

Most standby generators in Denver run on natural gas or propane. We’ll help you choose the safest and most cost-effective fuel option based on your home’s existing utilities and setup.

Do you service generators after installation in Denver?

While Bell does not work on the generator itself, we will provide any follow-up services on the installation and set-up.

How do I know what size generator I need for my Denver home?

Generator sizing depends on your home’s essential systems and total power needs. Bell’s generator installation experts assess your Denver home’s requirements and recommend the right capacity for reliable backup power.

Choosing the Right Backup Generator for Your Denver Home

Ready to move forward with generator installation? Our experts help you choose the best system for your home. Here are key factors to consider when selecting a new generator:

What’s Your Fuel Source?

Home standby generators run on natural gas, liquid propane, or diesel. Natural gas and propane are most common and typically used with generators up to 22kW capacity.

If you require diesel or propane-powered systems, we’ll ensure your fuel tank can accommodate the generator and inspect gas lines to confirm they’re appropriately sized.

What Are Your Power Demands?

Generator sizing is one of the most important factors when choosing a new system for your Denver home.

Your HVAC units use the most power in your home. If you want your generator to power your air conditioner or furnace, you’ll need a generator that can handle these system demands. Smaller homes with three-ton AC units may work well with 11kW generators, while five-ton AC systems may require generators of at least 20kW capacity.

Transfer Switches for Denver Homes

Home backup generators require transfer switches to ensure proper operation. Installing generators without transfer switches violates code and creates electrical imbalances and backfeeding dangers. Our experts choose transfer switches that complement your home’s electrical panel perfectly.
