Generator Installation in Cathay, Wells County
When a blizzard or an ice storm takes the lines down, a furnace with no power is a serious problem within hours. Generator installation in Cathay keeps the heat, the well pump, the sump pump and the freezer running until the utility is back.
Already own a portable generator? An interlock kit or manual transfer switch with an inlet box lets you power your panel safely, with no extension cords through a window and no risk of backfeeding the line.
Cathay is in the prairie country of the James and Sheyenne river valleys. Towns in Wells County have main street buildings and homes well past fifty years old, alongside newer houses and farm shops. We often update fuse boxes, two-prong outlets and undersized services in homes that have otherwise been well kept.

Generator Installation cost in Cathay

Generator Installation in Cathay: common questions
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run. We total the loads, including the furnace, well pump and any electric heat, and size the generator from there.
Natural gas or propane?
Either works. In town, natural gas is common. On rural properties, propane is the usual choice.
Will a standby generator start at 30 below?
With a cold weather kit, including a battery warmer and block heater, and regular maintenance, yes.
