The installation and service aspects of a gas generator dealer's role are particularly crucial for safety and functionality. Unlike portable generators, standby gas generators require permanent installation, which involves connecting the unit to the existing electrical system via an automatic transfer switch and tying it into the property's natural gas or propane supply. A certified dealer's technicians are trained to perform this complex work, ensuring all electrical and fuel line connections are made in compliance with strict safety standards and local regulations. Furthermore, dealers offer essential post-installation services, including routine maintenance, oil changes, and load tests, which are necessary to keep the generator in optimal condition and ready to activate at a moment's notice.
