Generac generator installation Schertz sized to your loads and tested before we leave

A Generac install in Schertz

We list what you want running in an outage, check the panel and the service, and recommend the Generac unit and the transfer switch to match. Then we set the unit, mount and wire the automatic transfer switch, run the wiring between the generator, the switch and your panel, and start it up and test it under load before we leave. For a business, the same sizing and transfer switch work applies at commercial scale.

• A load list room by room
• Automatic transfer switch at the service
• Start up and a transfer test under load

The utility side in Schertz

GVEC names Schertz among the areas its services cover. The utility on your electric bill is the one we coordinate with, and we check it before the visit. GVEC asks members with a backup generator to let it know. Its generator agreement says the generator and transfer switch are installed only by a Texas licensed electrician, outside GVEC's easement and properly grounded, that a transfer switch never goes on a GVEC pole, and that no one installs a meter collar or opens GVEC's meter. The transfer switch goes in after GVEC is notified, so it can arrange a temporary disconnect.

Permits in Schertz

In Schertz, permits and inspections go through the Inspections Division on the City of Schertz Portal. We confirm what the city requires before we write the price.

Contractor registration

Schertz requires every contractor doing work that needs a permit to be registered with the city, and the registration runs by calendar year, from January 1 through December 31, with electrical contractors on the list of trades. The registration is in place before the permit is pulled, so it never holds up a start date.
