How It Works

From First Call to Powered-Up Generator

We keep the process clear so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after installation.

01Step 1

Site Assessment

We visit your property to evaluate your electrical panel, available space, fuel source, and load requirements. This gives us what we need to spec the right equipment.

02Step 2

Scope and Permitting

We outline the full scope of work, pull the required electrical permits with the city or county, and schedule the installation around your timeline.

03Step 3

Installation Day

Our electricians install the transfer switch, run all wiring to code, make the panel connections, and coordinate with your fuel supplier if needed.

04Step 4

Testing and Inspection

We test the system under load, confirm the automatic transfer switch cycles correctly, and schedule the final inspection so everything is signed off properly.

Frequently asked

Generator Installation Questions Answered

Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.

Q1

Do I need a permit for generator installation in Oregon?

Yes. Oregon requires an electrical permit for any generator installation involving a transfer switch or panel connection. Highline Electric pulls the permits for you and schedules the required inspection so the work is fully code-compliant.

Q2

What size generator do I need for my home?

The right size depends on which circuits or appliances you want to power during an outage. We run a load calculation during the site visit to match the generator capacity to your actual needs rather than guessing.

Q3

What is an automatic transfer switch and do I need one?

An automatic transfer switch detects a power outage and switches your home or business to generator power without you doing anything manually. It is strongly recommended for standby generators and required for a safe, code-compliant installation.

Q4

Can you install a generator on an existing electrical panel?

In most cases, yes. We connect the transfer switch to your existing panel. If the panel is older or undersized, we may recommend an upgrade. We will identify any issues during the initial assessment.

Q5

Do you install generators in Salem and Keizer as well as Woodburn?

Yes. Highline Electric serves Woodburn, Salem, Keizer, Sandy, and Beaverton. Travel to these areas is part of our normal service schedule.

Q6

How long does a generator installation typically take?

Most residential installations are completed in one day. Larger commercial projects or jobs requiring panel work may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after the site assessment.

Q7

Can I use a portable generator with a transfer switch?

Yes. We can wire a transfer switch for a portable generator so you can connect it safely without back-feeding the utility grid, which is a serious safety concern. It is the correct way to use portable backup power.

Q8

Who handles the gas or propane connection for the generator?

The fuel line connection is handled by a licensed plumber or your propane supplier. We coordinate our electrical work alongside theirs and can help you understand the sequencing so both trades finish on the same day when possible.
