GENERATOR INSTALLATION
IN LOS ALTOS HILLS
Los Altos Hills is acre-minimum country — big properties, long setbacks, and homes that carry serious electrical load. It's also ringed by open space and transmission corridors that put much of the town inside PG&E's shutoff footprint. We install estate-scale Generac systems here sized for the whole property: climate, well and irrigation pumps, gates, networks, EV charging — with placement engineered so you hear the generator only when the grid is down.
How installs work in Los Altos Hills
⬢Permits through the Town of Los Altos Hills building counter — submittals arrive complete with site plan, setbacks, and sound data ⬢Acre-lot placement done right: distance from living areas and property lines, screening that satisfies both the town and the landscape architect ⬢26–28kW estate sizing is typical; propane systems with buried tanks where gas service is limited on the larger parcels ⬢One CSLB-licensed crew end to end — electrical, gas or propane, pad, startup — no subcontractor paradeOutages aren't hypothetical
Between the 280 corridor, Page Mill open space, and the wooded western slopes, Los Altos Hills sees real fire-weather shutoffs — and on large properties an outage takes out far more than lights: wells, irrigation, gates, and security all stop. An installed standby system with 10-second automatic transfer makes the entire event invisible.

GOOGLE REVIEW · ESTATE INSTALLLos Altos Hills questions we hear most
Our home runs on a well and large electrical service — can you size for that?
Yes — wells, irrigation, and 400A+ services are normal in our estate work. We size from your actual loads and use load management so nothing gets juggled by hand.
Gas service is limited on our road — what then?
Propane. We design the tank siting (buried or screened), size the supply for extended runtime, and manage that install alongside the electrical.
How disruptive is the install on a large property?
A few days of quiet work: pad and gas one day, electrical and transfer switch the next, then inspection and startup. Landscape impact is planned around before we start.
