Frequently Asked Questions

What size generator do I need for my home?

The right generator size depends on your home, electrical panel, major appliances, and what you want to power during an outage. Mikus can review your needs during a free estimate and recommend the right setup.

Can a standby generator power my whole home?

In many cases, yes. Some homeowners choose whole-home backup, while others choose to power essential circuits such as heat, refrigeration, sump pumps, lighting, internet, and key outlets.

How does a standby generator turn on automatically?

A standby generator works with an automatic transfer switch. When utility power goes out, the transfer switch helps move your home’s selected electrical load from utility power to generator power.

Where is the generator installed?

Most standby generators are installed outside the home on a stable pad in a location that meets clearance, safety, service, and code requirements.

Does Mikus provide generator maintenance after installation?

Yes. Mikus provides generator maintenance, repair, monitoring, and long-term service support to help keep your system ready for future outages.

Do I need an electrician for generator installation?

Yes. A standby generator connects to your home’s electrical system and requires proper transfer switch installation, wiring, testing, and code-compliant electrical work.
