Generator Installation service for Watford City and nearby towns
A standby generator starts on its own within seconds of an outage, whether or not you are home. Our whole house generator installation in Watford City covers sizing, the transfer switch, the electrical connection and startup.
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.
Around Watford City, older farm and ranch homes sit near housing and shops built during the Bakken years. We work on both. Open country and steady wind in McKenzie County are hard on overhead services and outdoor equipment, which keeps surge protection, yard lighting and backup generators high on the list.

Generator Installation cost in Watford City

Generator Installation in Watford City: 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.
