If you’re looking for a backup power source or to have your standby generator replaced, Service Champions has you covered. Our team ensures your home is protected should the unexpected occur.
Some power failures are man-made. Human error and equipment failures top the list of causes. But they are also triggered by natural disasters. Wildfires, earthquakes, and storms often precede news of local or widespread blackouts.
Professional whole-house generator installation, repair, and maintenance ensures you have electricity. Our technicians find the right solutions for your home and help you weigh all the options, factoring in your electrical needs, lifestyle, and budget. Highly qualified and background checked, our technicians provide top-notch generator service in Pleasanton tailored to your unique requirements.
A generator installation is a more complex home improvement project than most people realize. It requires finding a system that supports the total wattage requirements of your home. Our electricians use industry guidelines to calculate the appropriate capacity and then obtain a permit for the installation.
Site preparation comes next. The generator unit must be placed on a stable, level surface. Once it is positioned, our technicians connect the proper wiring and cabling to your electrical panel and the automatic transfer switch. The fuel supply is connected and, finally, your whole-home generator is tested by simulating a power outage to ensure it responds instantly, provides electrical power, and turns off when the utility connection is restored.
Our process ensures you see the following benefits of generator installation:
A whole-home generator consists of multiple systems. It contains a fuel-powered engine and an alternator that produces electrical energy, a fuel system, control components, and starting, cooling, and exhaust systems. The wiring, voltage regulator, and housing are also critical elements.
The automatic transfer switch is one of a standby generator’s most important components. It allows the system to switch on and off. When it senses a loss of utility power, it signals the generator to turn on (this happens in less than a second). It also enables the system to shut off when outside electricity starts flowing again, while preventing backfeeding that can cause equipment damage and injuries.
At Service Champions, our technicians are trained to provide any type of electrical repair. Backup generators are very reliable, but they can develop issues over time. They incorporate numerous systems that must work perfectly to deliver power when you need it most. The frame and enclosure protect these from damage. Regular maintenance can help keep everything in peak condition and working in harmony, but issues can arise.
Our technicians travel with the tools and parts to quickly diagnose a problem and make repairs on the spot. Contact our Client Experience team if you notice any of the following issues with your generator:
Our team provides comprehensive generator maintenance in Pleasanton. Annual inspections and tune-ups are necessary to ensure the system operates normally and there are no safety issues. In the process, our electricians simulate a power outage to see if the generator switches on, delivers electricity, and shuts down properly.
They also clean any dirt or debris they find, check oil and coolant levels, and measure battery strength. Air, oil, and fuel filters are changed, while loose parts or connections are tightened. Our technicians also replace any worn spark plugs, belts, or hoses they find. Obstructed vents or ports are cleared, and the transfer switch is inspected for any issues.
Whole-home generator maintenance is complementary for members of our Maintenance Value Plan (MVP+).

Generator installation requires a secure connection to your main breaker panel. We follow specific requirements for the type of wiring and cabling to connect the electrical panel, generator, and transfer switch. Some projects require a sub-panel. Finding the proper configuration and wire gauges is necessary because of the amount of wattage a generator feeds into your home. Our technicians also ensure the system is properly grounded.
A permit load calculation is required by law. It’s a technical process that includes adding up the wattages of all your appliances, devices, and fixtures. A safety margin must also be considered. The number of circuits and appliances, demand fluctuations, and considerations for future upgrades are other important details. Industry guidelines must be closely followed, while documentation (site plans, blueprints, etc.) is required, which is why you need a skilled professional.
Even the best whole-home generator isn’t enough for full power outage protection. At Service Champions, we install whole-home surge protection systems. These absorb excess voltage from small internal surges that can shorten appliance life, and outside sources, including powerful and damaging surges from power line issues and lightning strikes. Electrical panel upgrades and whole-home rewiring also help protect against outages.
The generator installers at Service Champions are committed to protecting your home against outages. They also provide electrical panel repairs and maintenance to prevent issues, and upgrades that increase electrical capacity and prevent short circuits and overloads. Whole-home surge protector installation is another service they provide, which avoids damage caused by voltage spikes from inside and outside your home.
