Generators · Martell, California
Public safety power shutoffs and winter storms make generator installation in Martell 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 Martell, California homes and shops cut over without anyone flipping anything.
Scope of work

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
Smart switches in a 1970s house with no neutrals anywhere. They ran neutrals to nine boxes and everything works from the app and from the wall.
Straightforward quote, no upsell, showed up when they said. Added four outlets and a dedicated circuit for the freezer in half a day.
Storm took out our weatherhead. Ascot got the temporary sorted the same afternoon and the permanent repair inspected within the week.
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 Martell 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.
We cover Martell itself, its surrounding neighbourhoods and the towns nearby. Ascot Electricians works across California, so if you are just outside the city limits, call (888) 592-6466 and we will confirm coverage in a minute.
Yes. EV charger installation in Martell includes a load calculation on your existing service, the dedicated circuit, and the Level 2 charger, Tesla Wall Connector or NEMA 14-50 outlet. If the panel cannot carry it, we will tell you what the upgrade costs before you commit.
