Living in California, including the state’s capital, involves dealing with the occasional power outage. Blackouts are disruptive and are caused by issues with utility infrastructure and natural events like wildfires, storms, and earthquakes. While inevitable, they don’t have to leave you in the dark.
Service Champions provides whole-home generator installation in Sacramento, CA. We help find the right generator for your home and provide repair and maintenance services. Our team of licensed and highly skilled local electricians ensures you have a reliable backup power supply when you need it.
There are many reasons to choose us:
Connected directly to the main breaker panel and home circuits, a standby generator is a Sacramento homeowner’s best way to avoid being in the dark, with spoiled food, and no power for appliances, electronics, or medical devices.
The system must be set up properly to serve your home. Every generator installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Professional repairs and maintenance also ensure it works reliably with no safety issues. You can count on us for the best generator service in Sacramento; we’re even available 24/7 if you need help in an emergency.
At Service Champions, we provide whole-house generator installation for customers who prefer a natural gas or propane system. Our team goes the distance to ensure your home is comfortable. Your safety and well-being are also our top priorities. We evaluate your electrical needs to find a generator with the capacity to power everything as if there were no utility disruption.
Connecting an emergency generator is no simple task. It requires training and experience. The unit must be set on a level pad and connected via wires and cables to an automatic transfer switch and your home electrical panel. Our Sacramento electricians have the tools and expertise to manage every required task and quickly commission your generator safely, so you can experience the following benefits:
A generator is a long-term investment. It can last for decades, but it will eventually need to be replaced. If your backup power supply is no longer sufficient, Service Champions can help you choose a higher wattage system. Instead of running just a few appliances, it may keep your entire home functional during an outage. We can also help you benefit from modern features such as automatic activation and shut-off, load management, remote monitoring, and Wi-Fi capabilities.
Service Champions also works with leading brands of equipment, including Generac® generators.
A standby generator is wired directly to your home electrical system. It automatically senses whether utility power is on or has been cut off. If there’s a power disruption, the generator is signaled to turn on in less than a second. It then begins producing electricity via electromagnetic induction, so long as it has a fuel supply.
The system continues running until the transfer switch detects that grid power is restored, in which case it turns the generator off. The switch also prevents backfeeding, or the flow of electricity back into utility lines, which can damage them and injure workers repairing power lines. In the interim, a fuel-powered engine produces mechanical energy to run an alternator that converts it into electrical power for your home.
A whole-home generator is a complex assembly of components. Even the most reliable systems eventually need to be repaired. A generator repair can involve fixing an oil, coolant, or fuel line, a worn belt, a damaged spark plug, a faulty circuit board, a weak battery, or a malfunctioning transfer switch. Dirty filters can prevent generators from working properly, but replacing these is quick and simple, so your generator can work at full capacity again.

Whole-home generators are available in capacities from below 10kW to over 40kW. At Service Champions, we install and service the most reliable solutions on the market with these key benefits:
Wiring your standby generator to the breaker panel is one of the most important steps in the installation process. From using the proper cabling to making secure connections, our technicians get the job done right. Installing the transfer switch is also a crucial part of integration, as it allows the generator to supply power to your home instead of the main utility line. Our Sacramento generator installers are meticulous, ensuring the unit delivers power seamlessly to your electrical system.
California law requires a licensed electrician to perform a load calculation. To obtain a permit, they must specify how many circuits the generator will power and include technical details about the transfer switch. They must also identify the required running and starting watts, calculate the total, and add a safety margin using professional standards.
Other requirements include drawing a single-line diagram, identifying conductor and breaker sizing, and drafting a load calculation report, which the average homeowner doesn’t have the technical expertise for.
At Service Champions, each generator installer in Sacramento complies with California Electrical Code and National Electrical Code requirements.
