GENERATOR INSTALLATION
IN LAFAYETTE, ORINDA & MORAGA
Lamorinda might be the most outage-tested territory we serve. Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga sit in wooded East Bay hills where PG&E's public-safety shutoffs land nearly every fire season — sometimes for days. We install whole-home Generac systems across all three towns: automatic 10-second transfer, sized from your actual panel, with the permit filed at your town's own counter and inspection handled by our crew.
How installs work in Lafayette, Orinda & Moraga
⬢Each town runs its own counter — Lafayette, Orinda, or Moraga — and we file, track, and meet the inspector at all three ⬢Wooded-lot placement: defensible-space aware, screened, and sited for sound around outdoor living areas ⬢Many Lamorinda homes date to the 50s–70s — when the panel needs an upgrade, it happens inside the same project and permit ⬢10–18kW essentials or 22–28kW whole-home; propane options for streets with limited gas supplyOutages aren't hypothetical
This is the heart of shutoff country: hills, trees, and transmission lines mean Lamorinda goes dark when almost nowhere else does. Neighbors with standby systems barely notice — refrigeration, well pumps, garage doors, medical equipment, and work-from-home all ride through on the generator until the grid returns.
“From our first meeting with Lucas, we knew we were in good hands with the Fitch Electric team.”
YELP REVIEW · CONTRA COSTALamorinda questions we hear most
Which towns exactly do you cover here?
All of Lamorinda — Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga — plus the surrounding unincorporated pockets of Contra Costa County.
Our neighborhood loses power for days during shutoffs — can a generator run that long?
Yes. Running on natural gas or an adequately sized propane tank, a standby system runs for the duration, exercising and cooling itself automatically.
Is our older electrical panel an issue?
Common here and not a blocker — we evaluate it at the site visit and fold an upgrade into the same project when needed, one permit, one crew.
