Professional Generator Installation in Cumming, Georgia
When a storm rolls through North Georgia and the power goes out, how long will you be in the dark? Hours? Days? With a properly installed standby generator, you’ll never have to worry. Your lights stay on, your refrigerator keeps food cold, your sump pump keeps your basement dry, and your heating or air conditioning keeps running. But generator installation is not a DIY project. A generator must be properly sized for your home’s electrical load, installed on a code-compliant pad, connected to your fuel source (natural gas or propane), and wired to your panel through an automatic transfer switch. One mistake can cause backfeeding — sending electricity back into utility lines, which can electrocute a lineman working to restore power. It can also destroy your generator or start a fire.
At Rob Ingram’s Freestyle Lighting and Electrical, we specialize in standby generator installation for homes across Cumming and North Georgia. We start with a free on-site assessment, calculating your essential circuits (well pump, refrigerator, HVAC, lights, outlets) and recommending the right generator size — typically 7kW to 22kW for most homes. We handle the entire installation: concrete pad, fuel connection, transfer switch, electrical wiring, and testing. We’re available 24/7 for emergency generator repairs if your unit stops working during an outage. Call us today and take control of your home’s power.
We’re not just electricians — we understand generators from top to bottom. We work with top brands like Generac, Kohler, and Champion, and we stay current on Georgia code requirements for generator installations. Every generator we install includes an automatic transfer switch that detects power loss and starts your generator within seconds — no extension cords, no manual starting, no running outside in the rain. We also offer free panel inspection to ensure your electrical system is ready for a generator. And because we’re local, we’re here for you years after the installation for maintenance and repairs.

A: A portable generator requires you to run extension cords or manually connect it to your panel. A standby generator is permanently installed, runs on natural gas or propane, and turns on automatically when the power goes out — no effort required from you.
A: Most residential standby generator installations take 1 to 2 days. Day one often includes pad placement, fuel connection, and running wiring. Day two includes transfer switch installation, connection to your panel, and thorough testing.
A: Absolutely. In fact, those are two of the most important circuits to back up. Without power, your well pump stops (no water) and your septic alarm won't work. We prioritize these circuits in your generator's load calculation.
A: Yes. We offer annual maintenance plans that include oil changes, filter replacements, battery testing, and exercise cycles. We also repair generators that aren't starting or are running poorly. Just call (678) 281-4580.
