Tempe home generator installation means having a plan in place before an outage hits rather than scrambling after. Johnson Power & Air handles the electrical connection directly and pulls together whichever mason, plumber, or gas professional the project calls for, so it doesn’t fall on you to manage separate contractors.
How the Process Works
Everything starts with a consultation and an inspection to get a real read on your home’s power needs, not a canned recommendation. From there, we help match you to a generator that fits both what you want covered and your budget, whether that’s a portable unit for the essentials or a standby system for the whole house.
What’s Included
Electrical Connection
Getting the generator wired correctly into your home’s system is the piece we handle directly as the electrician on the project.
Coordinating Other Trades
If a mason, plumber, or gas professional isn’t already part of the picture, we can pull that together. If one already is, we’re happy to slot in as the electrical side and coordinate with them.
Sizing and Selection
No two households pull power the same way. We talk through what matters most to keep running in an outage and what your budget allows before settling on a unit.
What’s Not Included
We stop at installation. Whatever the generator needs afterward, mobile and portable units included, isn’t part of the job we take on.
Why Generator Installation Comes Up in Tempe
Tempe’s median home was built in 1984, the oldest in our service area, tied closely to ASU’s growth since the 1950s. Older electrical systems here sometimes need attention before a generator can be safely added, which is something we check for during the initial inspection rather than discovering mid-install.
Service Area
We work out of Gilbert, with Tempe part of our regular territory alongside Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek. Get in touch with what you’re looking for and we’ll set up a time to talk it through, no cost for the consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to arrange my own plumber or gas professional?
A: Not necessarily. We’ll bring that piece together if it’s not already in place, or coordinate with whoever you’ve already got lined up.
Q: What determines the right generator size for my house?
A: We look at what you’re actually drawing power for, then talk through priorities, what has to stay on versus what’s nice to have, alongside the budget you’re working with.
Q: Will you handle servicing after the generator's installed?
A: That’s not something we take on. Our scope ends at getting it installed and running correctly, not maintaining it going forward.
Q: Does an older Tempe home need extra work before a generator is installed?
A: Sometimes, yes. Tempe’s median home dates to 1984, and older electrical systems occasionally need attention first, which we’d flag during the inspection.
