Generac Generator Installation
Stay Powered Through Outages
Power outages don’t schedule themselves around your life. A Generac standby generator starts automatically, powers what you’ve selected, and keeps your home running when the grid doesn’t cooperate.
As an authorized Generac dealer, Crew Electrical Services installs reliable backup generator systems in Calgary and surrounding communities, including the best-selling 10 kW, 14 kW, and 21 kW options.
Why Homeowners Choose Crew Electrical Services
Automatic Backup Power
Generac standby systems are designed to detect an outage and transfer power automatically, then switch back when utility power is restored.
Right-Sized for Your Home
We size your generator based on real electrical loads, your priorities (whole-home vs essentials), and how your home is actually used, so you’re not overspending or underpowered.
Clean, Code-Compliant Installation
Our work is permit-ready and inspection-ready. Crew Electrical Services handles required permits and coordination so the install is compliant and straightforward.
Ongoing Support + Warranty-Backed Workmanship
You get professional installation backed by Crew Electrical Services’ 1-year warranty on parts and labour. And Generac standby generators commonly include a 5-year limited warranty (model-dependent).
Popular Generac Sizes We Install
These are starting points, not magic numbers. Final sizing is based on a load assessment.
10 kW
Essentials Backup
A strong fit when you want the basics covered: refrigeration, lighting, internet, sump pump, select outlets, and key circuits, depending on your setup.
14kW
More comfort, More coverage
A popular middle-ground for homeowners who want more circuits supported with fewer tradeoffs during an outage.
20kW
Higher-Demand Homes
For larger loads, bigger panels, and homeowners aiming for broader coverage during outages, 21 kW-class systems are often the move. (We confirm feasibility with a site visit and load review.)
How It Works
Our Simple Generator Install Process
From consultation to commissioning, we make backup power simple.
1. Request Consultation
Tell us what you want protected during an outage (essentials or broader coverage) and what fuel you have available (natural gas or propane, where applicable).
2. Site Assessment & Load Review
We assess your electrical service, determine generator placement, confirm transfer switch requirements, and size the system around your priorities.
3. Permits + Utility Coordination
Crew Electrical Services handles permits and inspection coordination so everything is installed to code and signed off properly.
4. Professional Installation
We complete the electrical tie-in, install the transfer equipment, run full testing, and walk you through operation, maintenance expectations, and what to do if the system alerts.
5. Setup & Ongoing Support
We can help you get monitoring set up (where available), so you can check generator status and maintenance alerts from your phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which size generator I need (10, 14, or 21 kW)?
We determine sizing with a load review, your “must-run” circuits, and how much convenience you want during an outage. Two homes of the same size can need totally different setups.
Does a standby generator turn on automatically?
Yes, standby generator systems paired with an automatic transfer switch are designed to transfer power automatically and return to utility once restored.
Can I power my whole home?
Sometimes. Some homes can run “whole-home” depending on electrical loads and generator capacity, while others are better served by an essential-loads setup. We’ll recommend the most sensible option after assessing your panel and loads.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Crew Electrical Services manages permits, paperwork, and coordination with inspectors.
How long does installation take?
Most installs can be completed in a short window once everything is staged and scheduled, but final timing depends on electrical scope, site conditions, and inspection scheduling.
Can I monitor my Generac generator remotely?
Many Generac Guardian models support remote monitoring options that let you view status and maintenance alerts from a phone or computer.
