What is the difference between a portable generator and the standby systems Avila Electric installs?

Standby generators are permanently installed and utilize an automatic transfer switch to restore power without extension cords or manual refueling. These professional systems integrate directly with your home's natural gas or propane line for immediate, hands-off energy independence.

How quickly will my power return once the grid goes down?

Most Kohler and Generac systems are designed to restore electricity to your home within seconds of a utility failure. This rapid response protects sensitive home automation and security systems from prolonged downtime.

Do you provide emergency repair services for existing generator systems?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service with a guaranteed one-hour response time for critical power failures in the Bay Area, ensuring your backup system remains operational when you need it most.

Can a standby generator support my Lutron or Crestron home automation?

Absolutely. We specialize in integrating backup power with intelligent home systems to ensure your lighting control and automated shading remain functional during an outage.

What is required for the one-year installation warranty to remain valid?

Our warranty covers the professional workmanship of the installation itself. We recommend regular service and post-project support to ensure the mechanical components of your Kohler or Generac system perform according to manufacturer standards.
