Home Standby Generator Installation

At All American Generator Services, our residential generator installation services are designed to help you prepare for every disaster by ensuring you have access to reliable backup power.

Our technicians will help you choose the appropriate location for the generator before preparing the site for installation. We’ll then place the generator on the gravel or concrete slab, connect fuel and electrical lines, and ensure everything works as it should with an outage simulation.

Our residential generator installation services also come with flexible financing, which you can learn more about by applying for the Generac Credit Card.

Business Standby Generator Installation

Unexpected power outages can lead to major business downtime — and in many cases, more downtime than you can afford. As a business owner, you have a schedule to keep. Our commercial generator installation services in Chatsworth and the surrounding areas can help you maintain security and productivity, even in unpredictable times.

Wildfires, earthquakes, other weather disasters, and local power failures including brown outs become more manageable when you invest in our backup power solutions.

Most commercial generator companies take a day or two. You can expect our team of plumbers and licensed electricians to:

Install your transfer switch.
Move your generator into place.
Connect electric lines from your generator to your transfer switch.
Make the proper connections from the generator to the fuel source.

After hooking up the fuel and electricity connections, your generator is ready to operate and protect your business.

Are home standby generators compliant with California’s strict air quality regulations?

Yes. Residential standby generators installed across Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties must navigate localized environmental mandates, including those set by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). As an authorized Generac dealer, we exclusively install California-certified systems designed to meet these rigorous emissions parameters. Under regional air quality rules, standby systems are fully permitted to operate during emergency grid failures, utility blackouts, and brief, neighborhood-friendly weekly diagnostic testing cycles.

Do I need a municipal building permit to install a standby generator?

Yes, obtaining permits is a mandatory requirement across Southern California communities. An installation requires a combination of electrical, plumbing (for natural gas or liquid propane lines), and structural permits from your local city or county building department. Because municipal codes enforce distinct restrictions regarding property line setbacks and maximum decibel levels, our turnkey installation service handles the entire design, submittal, and engineering process to guarantee seamless compliance.

What are the specific placement and clearance requirements for the generator unit?

According to national fire standards (NFPA 37) and California building codes, a generator must be positioned at least 5 feet away from structural openings like windows, doors, and vents to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your living space. While many newer Generac models are fire-tested to safely sit as close as 18 inches from an exterior wall, local municipal zoning setbacks from property lines and neighbor boundaries often dictate the final legal location on your property.

Can a Generac standby generator integrate with an existing solar panel or battery setup?

Yes. However, standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut off during a blackout to prevent backfeeding power into the utility lines. By installing an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), a Generac system operates independently from your solar array during a power failure, safely stepping in to manage your property’s electrical load. For properties equipped with smart home batteries, the system can be configured to act as a secondary or tertiary layer of protection when stored battery capacity runs low.

How does a standby system handle a wildfire-related Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)?

When utilities execute a PSPS event due to high-wind red flag conditions, your standby generator acts completely automatically. Within seconds of losing grid electricity, the system detects the voltage drop, starts the engine, and safely shifts your home’s electrical load over to generator power. This automated safety loop keeps high-capacity assets—like multi-zone cooling, well pumps, home automation, and security frameworks—running uninterrupted for the entire duration of a multi-day utility outage.
