What’s Required to Install a Backup Generator?
Installing a backup generator system involves much more than simply connecting equipment to your property's electrical system. The process requires careful planning, precise electrical work, and compliance with multiple safety and regulatory requirements, and it can be complex and time-consuming without proper knowledge and experience. Our team at Let There Be Light can help you handle every aspect of generator installation from initial site assessment through final system testing and commissioning.
Our generator installation services include:
- Electrical transfer switch installation. A professionally installed automatic transfer switch safely disconnects your property from the utility grid when the generator starts, preventing dangerous backfeed conditions that could electrocute utility workers and damage your generator system.
- Proper foundation and placement. Generators require level, stable concrete foundations positioned according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes, with adequate clearances for ventilation, maintenance access, and noise considerations for both your family and neighbors.
- Fuel system connections. Natural gas generators require professional gas line sizing and connections to provide adequate fuel flow, while propane systems need appropriately sized tanks, regulators, and piping that comply with Connecticut's strict fuel gas codes.
- Electrical load analysis. We can calculate your property's essential electrical loads to properly size the generator and transfer switch and determine which circuits will receive backup power during outages.
- Permits and inspections. Generator installations require electrical permits from local authorities, and many municipalities also require building permits, gas permits, and final inspections before the system can be legally operated.
- Grounding and bonding. Proper electrical grounding and bonding connections protect you from electrical shock hazards and lightning damage, and are required to meet National Electrical Code requirements specific to generator installations.
When we install a generator, it’s our goal to protect your investment, keep your home code-compliant, and deliver long-term comfort and security.

Regular Testing Keeps Your Generator Ready for Action
Generator testing is a critical maintenance practice that many property owners overlook until they experience a power outage and discover their backup system isn't functioning correctly. Your generator likely includes automatic testing features that regularly exercise the engine and electrical components. Still, professional testing from Let There Be Light goes beyond these basic functions to verify proper operation under actual load conditions.
We recommend having your generator tested at least twice per year – once before the winter weather season and once before the summer storm season – to identify potential problems before they leave you without power during critical times. Additionally, any time your generator runs during an actual power outage, professional post-outage testing helps verify that all systems performed correctly and identifies any components that may have been stressed during extended operation. Weather events like severe storms, flooding, or ice accumulation around your generator also warrant professional inspection and testing to check for damage that might not be immediately apparent but could affect future reliability.
Don't wait for the next power outage to wish you had backup power – call Let There Be Light at (860) 300-3883 to request same-day generator services in Middletown, Bristol, Branford, or any of the surrounding areas!
