"Hired “Power Up” to refit our electrical panel and install an outside connecting plug to run a new portable electric generator. Jeff came out and spent time to evaluate and discuss our needs. He was consultative throughout the whole process. Lisa was responsible for arranging installation and paperwork and was very responsive to inquiries as well as reaching out to confirm things were moving forward. Justin was our installer and he knew his stuff. Very friendly and completed the work on time and as expected. Great experience working with “Power Up.”"

Customers say: Quick response

"Tom from Synergy did the bid for under cabinet lighting install, however sent someone else to do the job. Originally discussed with Tom that he would use a regular converter box inside the cabinet and place a dimmer switch on the wall, but the other guy he sent wasn't aware of this and placed the dimmer converter in the cabinet. This has resulted in us having to use the dimmer switch inside the cabinet instead of on a wall switch -- not what I requested. Also, I discussed with Tom installing an additional outlet in our kitchen during the bid process. After he left I noticed he did not include that on the written bid. The guy he sent didn't know about it either. The outlet was installed however. Overall, I was charged $95 additional over the bid and didn't get exactly what I wanted in regard to the dimmer switch for under cabinet lighting. Both electricians were very nice and professional, but there was definitely a communication problem in regard to the installation of the under cabinet lighting. Perhaps I should have clarified the issue more strongly, or perhaps I didn't understand. Either way, I'm happy with the lighting overall, but not 100%."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A frequent mistake during generator installation is ignoring local setback requirements. Check your specific St. Louis municipality ordinances regarding distances from property lines and windows before placing the unit. Homeowners also frequently skip gas pressure tests, assuming existing lines hold adequate pressure. Finally, failing to account for utility coordination timelines causes significant project delays. Always verify your local permitting jurisdiction before starting work.

Helpful?

In St Louis, homeowners often overlook backup power needs during tornado season, skip required electrical permits, or fail to meet local codes for standby generator installation. Placing generators too close to windows or flood-prone areas is a frequent error. Not calling utility companies before digging or neglecting proper grounding can lead to safety hazards and costly project delays.

Helpful?

After completing a generator installation, promptly schedule your final mechanical and electrical inspections. Inspector availability in MO tightens significantly following severe weather. Next, register the transfer switch with your regional electric utility to ensure lineworker safety during outages. You must also notify the regional gas utility of any new connections. Finally, update your homeowner's insurance policy with documentation of the permitted work.

Helpful?

In St Louis, planning and permitting for generator installation projects typically take two to four weeks, factoring in site evaluation and utility coordination. The actual installation of a standby generator usually requires two to five days. Final inspections and utility connections may add another week, especially if severe weather or high demand for backup power services causes scheduling delays.

Helpful?

To protect your generator installation, avoid letting debris build up around the unit during St. Louis storm seasons. Clear away leaves and branches to ensure proper airflow. You should also maintain the grading around the concrete pad. Local clay-heavy soils drain poorly, and standing water accelerates pad cracking and base corrosion. Finally, inspect electrical connections regularly to prevent moisture damage from high summer humidity.
