Whole-home and commercial standby generators sized for Louisiana storm season, wired with a code-compliant transfer switch, and serviced before hurricane season hits.
Common situations that bring homeowners and businesses to Pelican State Electric LLC. If any of these sound familiar, the rest of the page is worth your time.
Louisiana grids see multi-day outages every year. A correctly sized standby generator keeps the refrigerator running, the AC on, and medical equipment online without the dance of a portable rolling around the yard.
These loads cannot wait out a 36-hour outage. A standby unit picks them up automatically within seconds of the utility dropping.
Lost revenue and lost data from a single 8-hour outage usually exceeds the cost of a properly sized standby system.
Portable generators are loud, they require fuel runs, they back-feed the panel if wired wrong, and they are responsible for hundreds of CO deaths each year. A standby unit removes all of that.
Every job runs through the same defined process. You know what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next.
We walk the property with you, identify the loads that must stay on, and produce a calculated kilowatt requirement. No guessing, no upselling to a larger unit than you actually need.
We size the right Generac (or comparable) unit to the calculated load, confirm fuel type (natural gas or propane), and give you a flat written quote that includes unit, pad, transfer switch, wiring, permit, and inspection.
We pull the electrical permit with the parish or municipality, schedule the install, and coordinate with your gas supplier if propane delivery or a natural-gas tap is required.
Concrete pad set, generator anchored, automatic transfer switch wired into the service entrance, low-voltage controls run, all connections torqued to spec, gas connections leak-tested.
We start the unit, run it under simulated outage, watch it pick up your critical loads, and walk you through monthly self-test, fuel run cycles, and what the indicator lights mean.
Final inspection by the parish electrical inspector. You get a folder with the permit, the wiring diagram, the load calc, and the manufacturer warranty registration.
The work included as standard scope. No add-ons, no surprise line items.
