Why Our Brand Strategy Benefits You
Repeatable Installation = Reliable Results
Because we install Generac units every day, our technicians know the exact materials and steps required: transfer switch selection, conductor sizing, pad and anchoring, gas line sizing and regulators for NG/LP, venting and clearances, and commissioning. This consistency reduces install time, avoids rework, and delivers the same high‑quality result on every job.
We Handle the Whole Job—Including Gas or Propane Piping
Homestead Comfort designs and installs the complete fuel system for your generator—whether that’s tying into an existing natural gas service or setting and piping to an LP tank sized appropriately for generator demand. Generac guidance notes that LP‑fueled home standby systems typically require a minimum 250‑gallon propane tank, with larger capacities recommended based on load, climate, and runtime goals. We size this correctly, so your unit has the fuel pressure and runtime it needs.
Great Brands Installed Well = Better Warranty Outcomes
Generac home standby generators commonly include a 5‑year limited warranty when installed and serviced per the manufacturer’s requirements. We follow the book—so you get full coverage and long‑term peace of mind.
Our Relationships Move Things Faster
When questions or rare issues arise, our long‑standing relationships with Generac distributor teams and manufacturer support help us resolve them quickly—so you’re not stuck waiting during storm season. Generac backs its products with a nationwide dealer network and 24/7 support infrastructure.
What You Get with a Homestead Comfort Installation
Right‑Sized, Code‑Compliant Design
We size your generator to your real loads and application (essential circuits vs. whole‑home) and place it to meet NFPA and Generac clearance requirements for airflow and safety—for example, maintaining distances from openings and providing adequate service clearances around the unit.
Clean Electrical Integration
We install the appropriate service‑rated or whole‑home transfer switch and integrate cleanly with your panel. Generac Guardian/Next Gen systems include features such as True Power™ technology for low THD power quality and controller‑based setup for smooth commissioning.
Turnkey Fuel Work (NG or LP)
From meter or tank to generator, we handle regulators, piping, valves, sediment traps, and leak testing in accordance with local code and manufacturer specs. If you’re on propane, we coordinate tank capacity and placement to meet demand and runtime objectives.
Professional Startup & Owner Orientation
We commission the system, set exercise schedules, verify load pickup, and show you how to read the unit’s status indicators and basic maintenance reminders. New “Next Generation” air‑cooled models feature the Power Zone 200 controller and integrated connectivity for easier setup and monitoring.
Service & Maintenance—We Keep It Ready
Standby generators need routine care to stay reliable. Generac recommends regular maintenance at time/usage intervals—including oil and filter changes after break‑in and at scheduled service milestones—so the unit is ready for extended outages. We offer maintenance plans that follow manufacturer guidance.
Typical manufacturer‑based schedules include:
- Break‑in oil and filter service after the first 20–25 hours (model‑dependent).
- Annual service (or every 100–200 hours) including oil/filter changes, battery checks, and inspections.
- Deeper two‑year / four‑year services that include air filter, spark plug, and additional checks per the model’s manual.
We also support connected monitoring, so you’re alerted to status changes, exercise runs, or maintenance reminders.
