A clear plan before the work starts.

San Diego power outages are becoming more frequent with PSPS events and grid strain. A standby generator keeps your home powered automatically — lights, HVAC, refrigeration, medical equipment, and security systems stay running without you touching a thing. MIZO Electric installs Generac, Kohler, and other top brands with proper transfer switches, gas coordination, and full permitting.

Automatic power transfer — no manual intervention needed

Proper load sizing so your critical systems stay running

Transfer switch installed to code with proper clearances

Gas line coordination handled (plumber referral included)

Full permitting and inspection — inspector-ready work

Post-install testing with simulated outage verification

Answers before you book

Questions about generator installation.

What size generator do I need?+

It depends on what you want to power. A 22kW unit covers most homes (including AC). We'll do a load calculation to size it right — oversizing wastes money, undersizing causes problems.

How long does generator installation take?+

Typically 2-3 days for a full standby generator install, including pad, electrical, and transfer switch. Permitting and gas work may add time depending on jurisdiction.

Do I need a permit?+

Yes. Standby generator installs require electrical and sometimes mechanical/gas permits. We handle all permit coordination and scheduling.

What about maintenance?+

Most standby generators run a weekly self-test automatically. We recommend annual professional maintenance — oil, filters, battery, and connection check.
