Professional Generator Installation in Bloomington, CA
A standby generator can provide automatic backup power when a utility outage interrupts electricity to your home or business. Right Electrical Power Services provides generator installation in Bloomington, CA and throughout San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire. With 15 years of experience, REPS can evaluate your electrical loads, backup power priorities, and existing electrical system to help determine the appropriate generator setup and explain what the installation will require.
Information About Generator Installation
Generator installation begins with deciding what you want to keep powered during an outage. The size of the generator, electrical loads, transfer equipment, and existing electrical system all affect the installation. REPS evaluates these factors before recommending a solution so you can make an informed decision about the generator and electrical work rather than choosing equipment based on size alone.
01
Standby & Whole-Home Generators
Automatic standby generators can restore power without requiring you to manually connect a portable generator each time an outage occurs.
- Install automatic standby generators for homes
- Install whole-home and whole-house backup generators
- Size generators based on planned electrical loads
- Connect standby generators to residential electrical systems
- Install generators for selected essential circuits when appropriate
- Plan backup power around the equipment you want available during an outage
02
Transfer Equipment & Electrical Connections
A properly planned generator system needs a safe way to transfer the property's electrical load between utility and generator power.
- Install automatic transfer equipment for standby generators
- Complete electrical connections between generators and electrical systems
- Evaluate existing panels before generator installation
- Determine electrical requirements for the selected generator
- Plan generator connections around existing electrical loads
- Identify electrical upgrades that may be needed for installation
03
Commercial Generator Installation
Businesses can use standby generators to maintain power to selected equipment and electrical systems during an outage.
- Install backup generators for commercial properties
- Evaluate essential business electrical loads
- Plan backup power for selected equipment and systems
- Install electrical connections for commercial generators
- Determine generator capacity based on business needs
- Integrate standby power with existing commercial electrical systems
Backup power needs can vary considerably from one Bloomington or Inland Empire property to another. A homeowner who wants to keep basic circuits operating may need a different setup than someone who wants backup power for larger loads such as air conditioning. REPS evaluates what you want to power, explains the recommended installation, and provides upfront pricing so you know what to expect before the project begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
An automatic standby generator is designed to provide backup electricity when normal utility power is unavailable.
A typical standby system includes:
- A permanently installed generator
- Electrical connections to the property
- Transfer equipment
- Circuits or loads selected for backup power
- A fuel source appropriate for the generator
With an automatic standby system, transfer equipment detects the loss of utility power and allows the generator system to supply electricity to the connected loads. When utility power returns, the system transfers back. Proper installation is important because generator power must be safely separated from the utility supply.
Generator size should be based on the electrical loads you want to operate during an outage rather than simply the square footage of your home.
Before selecting equipment, consider what you want available, such as:
- Refrigeration
- Lighting
- Selected outlets
- Heating or cooling equipment
- Other important household equipment
- Additional circuits you consider essential
Equipment with larger electrical demands can significantly affect generator sizing. REPS can review your backup power priorities and electrical loads before recommending a system, helping you avoid selecting a generator that is poorly matched to how you actually plan to use it.
A properly sized standby generator may be able to power air conditioning, but the generator and electrical system need to be selected with the AC load in mind.
Air conditioning can place a substantial demand on a generator, particularly when the equipment starts. Generator planning should therefore consider:
- AC electrical requirements
- Other loads operating at the same time
- Generator capacity
- Starting and running electrical demand
- Which other circuits need backup power
If keeping your air conditioning operating during an outage is a priority, mention that during the initial evaluation so it can be included when determining generator requirements.
An automatic transfer switch allows a standby generator system to transfer electrical loads from utility power to generator power when an outage occurs.
The transfer equipment plays an important role because it:
- Detects changes in utility power
- Transfers connected loads to generator power
- Keeps generator power separated from the utility supply
- Transfers the system back when utility power returns
- Supports automatic standby generator operation
The appropriate transfer setup depends on the generator and how backup power will be distributed throughout the property. It should be planned as part of the complete generator installation rather than treated as an unrelated accessory.
Yes. REPS provides generator installation for commercial properties that need backup power for selected electrical loads during utility outages.
Commercial generator planning starts by identifying which systems are most important to business operations. This may involve:
- Essential equipment
- Lighting and selected circuits
- Electrical systems needed for operations
- Equipment with larger electrical demands
- Existing commercial electrical capacity
- Plans for future electrical needs
The goal is to size and configure the system around the property's actual backup power priorities. REPS can evaluate those requirements and explain the electrical work involved before installation begins.
Generator installation costs vary based on the generator, electrical requirements, transfer equipment, installation conditions, and amount of work needed at the property.
Factors that can affect pricing include:
- Generator size
- Number and type of electrical loads
- Transfer equipment
- Existing electrical system
- Generator location
- Required electrical connections
- Additional electrical work needed for installation
Because these factors differ by property, an estimate based only on the generator itself may not reflect the complete project. REPS evaluates the installation requirements and provides upfront pricing before you approve the work.
