Backup Generator Installation for Mountain Homes in Bailey, CO
Power outages on the 285 Corridor are real — sometimes days at a time. A properly wired generator keeps your heat, well pump, refrigerator, and lights on when the grid goes down.
Be Ready Before the Next Outage
Living in the mountains means living on the edge of the grid. Bailey, Conifer, and Evergreen see more outages than most of the Front Range — lines go down in wind and snow, and restoration can take hours or days.
A properly installed generator with a transfer switch keeps your home safe and functional. It also keeps your well pump running — critical on mountain properties where no power means no water.
We install everything from manual transfer switches for portable generators to automatic standby systems that start on their own. Every installation is permitted, inspected, and done to code.
Automatic Transfer Switches
Generator starts automatically in 10–30 seconds when power goes out. You don't have to do anything.
Manual Transfer Switches
For portable generators — a safe, code-compliant way to connect your generator without back-feeding the grid.
Standby Generator Installation
Whole-home or critical-load standby systems (Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton) permanently installed outside.
Interlock Kits
Cost-effective alternative to a full transfer switch — mechanical interlock prevents both the utility and generator from feeding at once.
Well Pump Circuits
Critical on mountain properties — we ensure your well pump is on a circuit the generator can support.
Why Mountain Homes Need Backup Power
How Generator Installation Works
- 1
Size your generator
We calculate your critical load — what you want to power during an outage — to spec the right generator size.
- 2
Site survey
We determine the best location for the generator (per manufacturer and code clearance requirements) and plan the transfer switch placement.
- 3
Pull permits
Electrical permits (and gas line permits for standby units) are filed with Park or Jefferson County.
- 4
Install the transfer switch
A transfer switch is installed in your panel — this is what disconnects your home from utility power and connects the generator safely.
- 5
Run electrical connections
Generator is wired to the transfer switch. For standby units, we also connect to the gas line (coordination with a licensed plumber if required).
- 6
Test and load transfer
We test the full transfer — simulate an outage, confirm the generator starts, powers the loads, and shuts off cleanly.
- 7
Inspection and sign-off
County inspection passed, permit closed.
