What are the main differences between a portable generator with a gas quick connect and a whole house generator?

Portable generators are typically smaller and designed to power select appliances or circuits through a manual transfer switch or a quick-connect setup. They require regular refueling and are not always capable of running large appliances for extended periods. Whole house generators, however, are usually connected to a home’s natural gas or propane line and can automatically power the entire house, making them ideal for long-term or automatic backup in case of an outage.

How often should a whole house generator be serviced?

Routine maintenance is essential to keep your generator in optimal working condition. Most manufacturers recommend servicing every six months, which typically includes checking the oil, fuel, battery, and overall system performance. Spark plugs should be replaced every 100 hours. Some companies, including Bear’s Plumbing Services, offer annual maintenance plans to keep your generator ready for emergencies.

Will my generator installation require permits?

Yes, generator installations generally require permits to ensure they meet local safety and code requirements, especially for gas and electrical lines. Licensed and insured installers like Bear’s Plumbing Services handle the permitting process, guaranteeing your generator installation is safe, compliant, and reliable.
