Generator Options We Offer and Requirements
We understand every home and business has a unique set of requirements when it comes to backup generator installation. In this regard, we provide three main generator service for you:
Portable Generator Installation
Our team helps you with installation of Portable generators, which are moveable and can be used anywhere without permanent installation.
Standby (automatic)
Montro Electric trusted standby generator installers offer an installation of this automatic unit, which is permanently installed, connects directly to your transfer switch, and starts automatically the moment the grid goes down.
Inverter Models
We recommend and offer to install an inverter generator, if you’re looking for a quieter, more fuel-efficient choice for smaller loads.
Sizing is Key
Sizing is a crucial factor that matters the most when installing a generator. Our Montro Electric team carefully measures your total electrical load in kilowatts (kW) including lighting and refrigerators to furnaces and critical medical equipment. An undersized generator leaves you in the dark, while an oversized one drains you financially. We measure your typical appliances and peak loads & recommend the right fit generator for your property.
Site and Installation Requirements
Installing a generator the right way needs proper setup. Our team ensures your site has a stable, level pad outdoors, proper clearance for ventilation, and a safe fuel supply (natural gas, propane, or diesel). We also make sure to use a transfer switch and dedicated circuit connection to your electrical panel in case of standby generator installation. Moreover for permit requirements, our Montro Electric experts handle all paperwork and inspections so your installation is safe and compliant.
Safety and Maintenance
Your safety and peace of mind come first. In this regard, we make sure every generator is properly grounded, vented for carbon monoxide, and maintained with regular oil checks. Montro Electric provides you with an easy maintenance plan and shows you how to test your system so you’re never caught off guard. So, when you have the right model, professional wiring, and ongoing care, your generator will always be ready when you need it most.
Why Backup Power matters
A generator protects homes and businesses from spoiled food, interrupted heating, and equipment damage during outages. It keeps life and operations running smoothly and prevents costly emergency repairs. Montro Electric is one of the few generator installation companies that deliver guaranteed business and house generator installation in Greater Montreal.
