How It Works

Our Generator Installation Process

We follow a straightforward process to ensure your generator is installed correctly, safely, and ready to perform under real conditions.

01Step 1

Site Assessment and Load Review

We visit your Mission property to evaluate your electrical panel, identify the right generator placement, and calculate the load requirements based on which circuits you want protected.

02Step 2

Transfer Switch and Panel Prep

Our electricians install a manual or automatic transfer switch and prepare your panel connections, ensuring safe isolation from the utility grid during generator operation.

03Step 3

Generator Wiring and Connection

We complete all wiring between the generator and transfer switch using code-compliant methods, including proper grounding to protect your equipment and household.

04Step 4

Testing and Walkthrough

Once installation is complete, we test the full system under load conditions and walk you through how to operate your generator safely and confidently.

Frequently asked

Generator Installation — Common Questions

Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.

Q1

Do I need a permit for generator installation in Mission, BC?

Yes, most standby generator installations and transfer switch connections require an electrical permit in BC. BB Electric is familiar with local requirements and ensures all work meets the BC Electrical Code.

Q2

What is a transfer switch and why is it required?

A transfer switch safely disconnects your home from the utility grid before the generator powers your circuits. This prevents dangerous back-feeding onto utility lines and protects both your equipment and utility workers.

Q3

Can you install a generator for a commercial property?

Yes. BB Electric installs generators for both residential and commercial properties in Mission, BC, including load assessments suited to the higher demands of commercial electrical systems.

Q4

What size generator do I need for my home?

Generator sizing depends on which appliances and circuits you want to power during an outage. During our site visit, we conduct a proper load calculation to recommend an appropriate generator capacity for your specific situation.

Q5

How long does a typical generator installation take?

Most residential generator installations are completed in one day. Larger or more complex installations, such as whole-home standby systems or commercial projects, may require additional time depending on scope.

Q6

Can I connect a portable generator myself?

Improperly connected portable generators are a common cause of electrical hazards and fatalities. Having a licensed electrician install an approved transfer switch is the safe and code-compliant way to connect any generator to your home.

Q7

Will generator installation affect my existing electrical panel?

The transfer switch is connected at or near your main panel. Our electricians assess your panel's current condition before installation. If an upgrade is needed, we can discuss panel upgrade options as part of the project.
