Frequently asked questions

Answers before you decide.

Can you prepare my home to use a generator during an outage?
Yes. We can install the electrical equipment needed to supply the selected circuits from a generator. Together, we identify the equipment you want to keep running, then adapt the connection, protection and transfer device. The installation must isolate backup power from Hydro-Québec’s grid for safe operation.
What is the difference between a portable-generator installation and an automatic standby generator?
A portable generator is generally used with a dedicated connection and manual transfer: you need to start it and follow the operating procedure. An automatic standby generator is permanently installed; it detects an outage and supplies the selected circuits through an automatic transfer device. We help you compare options based on your budget and the level of autonomy you want.
How do you choose the generator’s power and the equipment it can supply?
We start with the equipment you want to use during an outage: refrigerator, lighting, heating, pumps or other essential equipment. We consider their consumption, starting power requirements and which will operate at the same time. The generator and its connection are selected together; the rating of an outlet or backup panel alone does not guarantee the power actually available.
What does your generator electrical installation include, and how much does it cost?
Depending on the selected solution, our work may include the outdoor connection, wiring, protection, a backup panel or transfer device, and operating checks. The price varies with power requirements, the circuits to be supplied, distances and the choice of manual or automatic transfer. We prepare a detailed quote that distinguishes the electrical installation, the generator and other required work.
