"Carlos, the owner of Energy Source Electric, came to our home as a request for an estimate to install a new electrical panel and upgrade the service from 100amp to 200amp. Within 10 minutes I knew I was going to hire him. He was very personable, professional, and it did not take but a few minutes for Carlos to explain the entire process: the approximate time frame it would take which included filing permits, approval for matters concerning SCE, panel replacement and final inspections. It went perfectly. Even the stucco repair looked fabulous upon it's completion. Carlos also has a very good working relationship with everyone involved, from SCE, to the technicians who work for him. When a question arose from me or my wife, Carlos gave our concerns an amount of attention, dignity, and respect that everyone would want in a professional. Carlos has the professionalism and excellence to go above the call of duty for. As a Marine I learned to recognize excellence. 5 stars, well-earned."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To avoid delays in Bakersfield, begin with a professional load assessment and a site survey for your generator installation. Coordinate early with your utility provider for gas or electrical connections. Secure HOA approval if required, and apply for necessary permits in advance. Prepare the installation site, mark underground utilities, monitor weather forecasts, and notify neighbors and pet owners about the upcoming work.

Helpful?

In Bakersfield, generator installation projects typically require 4–8 hours for portable or standby units, while whole house generator installations often span 6–12 hours over one or two days. Larger commercial generator projects may extend to several days. Additional time may be needed for permit processing, utility coordination, and inspections, especially during peak demand or extreme weather periods.

Helpful?

When hiring a generator installation pro in Bakersfield, prioritize those with proven experience handling high heat and dusty environments. Ensure they understand local permitting, utility coordination, and seismic anchoring requirements. Always verify insurance coverage and request references from recent local generator installation projects. Avoid contractors who lack proper documentation or request full payment before work begins.

Helpful?

For generator installation in Bakersfield, use heat- and dust-resistant equipment, including heavy-duty air filters and extended cooling systems. Install the generator on a reinforced concrete pad with galvanized anchor bolts for seismic stability. Choose weatherproof electrical enclosures, rigid metal conduit, and gas line materials that meet CA seismic standards. Sound-dampening and UV-resistant components are recommended for long-term durability in local conditions.

Helpful?

In Bakersfield, homeowners should consider extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and dust, all of which can impact generator performance and maintenance schedules. Local noise ordinances and HOA guidelines may influence generator placement. It’s also important to account for seismic anchoring due to earthquake risk, possible flood zones near the Kern River, and the frequency of power outages in the area.
