Our ARK Generator Services consultants serving Montgomery will guide you in selecting the best location for your standby generator. Placement involves more than aesthetics; we consider manufacturer guidelines, existing utility lines, and Montgomery’s city codes. While homeowners often want their unit hidden behind landscaping, this isn’t always the safest option. We work to balance placement with safety, compliance, and performance.
Every generator in Montgomery is installed to manufacturer standards and placed on a durable surface, usually a reinforced concrete pad. We also ensure sufficient clearance for airflow and easy access for maintenance. This approach allows your system to run efficiently while staying compliant with local inspection requirements.
Our ARK Generator Services power consultants will be happy to help you determine the best spot to place or to locate your whole-house generator on the property. There are more factors to consider than just the aesthetics of the unit. Some factors in standby generator placement will include suggested manufacturer specifications, the location of the other utility lines around your home, and of course city or town guidelines. Often, home owners are desiring to hide the unit hidden behind landscaping or some fencing. This may or may not be the correct placement for a whole-house generator installation, when all other factors are concerned.
Each power unit must be properly spaced and secured according to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines and have the access for regular generator maintenance as required by the manufacturer and the local authorities. The unit will need to be placed on a solid secure surface, usually a concrete pad.
