Standby generator installation is a different job from an Electrical Panel Upgrade or EV Charger Installation, each covered on its own page on this directory. A standby unit connects to your home's electrical system and typically runs on natural gas or propane. The installation usually involves a transfer switch, the electrical connection, and sometimes a panel upgrade if the current service is undersized. When calling, ask whether they'll evaluate your panel capacity, whether they handle the gas or propane connection themselves, or whether that part goes to a separate contractor. 23 of the 29 also say they offer panel upgrades, so many can handle both pieces.

Do generator installers need an electrical license in Georgia?

Of the 29 who list generator installation, 22 say they're licensed. Check any electrician's license at the Secretary of State's lookup at verify: sos: ga: gov.

What's the difference between generator installation and an electrical panel upgrade?

A panel upgrade replaces or expands the main service panel; generator installation adds a standby unit and a transfer switch that lets the generator power your home automatically.

How many of these contractors offer emergency electrical service?

Of the 29 who list generator installation, 21 say they offer emergency or 24/7 service. It's worth asking whether that includes generator-related service calls, not just general electrical emergencies.

How many also do EV charger installation?

Of the 29, 19 also say they offer EV charger installation, which has its own page on this directory. If you're planning both a generator and a charger, ask whether the same electrician can scope both together.
