Generator Installation in Cathedral City, CA

A natural gas or propane standby generator is permanently wired to your Cathedral City home’s electrical system. It starts automatically when the grid goes out — typically within 10–30 seconds — and shuts off when utility power is restored. No manual operation required.

We install and service Generac, Kohler, and Cummins standby generators, sized to match Cathedral City residential loads.

The transfer switch safely disconnects your home from SCE’s grid when your generator activates, preventing dangerous back-feed. We install properly rated ATS units for every standby generator installation.

Not ready for a whole-home generator? We install a critical circuit sub-panel that feeds only your most important loads — AC, refrigerator, lighting, and a few outlets — from a smaller standby or portable generator. This is a cost-effective way to get meaningful backup protection.

Getting the generator size right matters: too small and it won’t handle your full load; too large and you’re paying for capacity you don’t need. Our load assessment for Cathedral City homes typically shows:

• 1,500–2,000 sq ft home: 14–18 kW
• 2,000–3,000 sq ft home with pool: 18–22 kW
• 3,000+ sq ft home with multiple AC units and pool: 22–26 kW
