OLYNNE ELECTRIC / EV charging & backup
Standby generators
Generator projects that begin with your backup priorities, available space and existing electrical system. Define the intended scope before selecting equipment.
Talk about your project
THE RIGHT STARTING POINT
Prepare for what matters most.
Think about the equipment and areas of the home you most want available during an outage. A clear priority list is more useful than starting with a generator size alone.
Property & equipment location
Discuss possible placement, access, fuel arrangements and the existing electrical equipment.
Project coordination
Define the electrical work and any other trade, utility or site work needed for the proposed installation.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know
before you start.
Can we discuss selected circuits rather than the whole home?
Yes. List your priorities so the proposed scope can be considered around them.
Can you install equipment I have already purchased?
Share the make, model and product information along with site details so suitability and the installation scope can be discussed.
Should I look at batteries too?
If you are comparing backup options, include any existing or planned solar and explain the loads you want supported.
