Generators · Hidden Valley Lake, California
Public safety power shutoffs and winter storms make generator installation in Hidden Valley Lake less of a luxury than it used to be. We size standby units against your real load, set the pad, run the gas and electrical, and wire the automatic transfer switch so Hidden Valley Lake, California homes and shops cut over without anyone flipping anything.

How it goes
Tell us what is happening and where. Emergencies get triaged on the phone — sometimes the first thing we do is tell you which breaker to shut off before we arrive.
We open the panel, test the affected circuits and tell you what is actually wrong, including the parts you would rather not hear.
One number for the work described, before it starts. Options where there are options — the repair now versus the replacement that stops it recurring.
We do the job, label the circuits, clean the space and walk you through what changed and what to watch for.
Reviews
Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, none of which had fan-rated boxes. They braced every one properly instead of just hanging them off the old box.
Called at 11pm with half the house dead and a smell coming off the panel. Someone answered, and a van was outside by half midnight. Found a burnt neutral, isolated it that night and came back Tuesday to do it properly.
Two EVs, one 100 amp panel, and three other companies who said it could not be done. Ascot did the load calc, upgraded the service and put in load-sharing chargers. Both cars charge overnight now.
Questions
It depends whether you want the whole house or just essential circuits — fridge, furnace, well pump, a few lights and outlets. Essential-circuit setups are considerably cheaper and cover most Hidden Valley Lake outage scenarios.
It is the device that disconnects you from the utility and starts the generator when the power drops, then switches back when it returns. It is also the safety element that stops your generator backfeeding the grid.
Yes — with an inlet box and a breaker interlock kit at the panel. Never run a portable generator through a suicide cord into an outlet; that backfeeds the line and it is how utility crews get hurt.
Standby units need periodic exercise cycles, oil and filter changes and battery checks. We set up the schedule at installation and can maintain it afterwards.
Yes, including knob and tube and aluminium branch-circuit replacement. We rewire Hidden Valley Lake homes in stages so you keep power in the rooms you are living in, and we work with your schedule rather than shutting the house down for a week.
