    Backup power for Bay Area properties

    Spark Bright Electric lists generator installation among its electrification services. We install standby generators and the electrical connections they require — transfer equipment, dedicated circuits, and panel work — so selected loads stay on during an outage.

    Standby generator electrical

    Electrical installation for automatic standby generators, including the transfer switch or transfer panel and the circuits you want backed up.

    Transfer equipment

    Manual or automatic transfer equipment sized to the generator and the loads it is meant to carry.

    Load selection

    We help identify which circuits — refrigeration, lighting, medical devices, or a subpanel — should be on backup power.

    Our Process

    1

    Assess

    We review the loads you need during an outage and the generator equipment specified for the property.

    2

    Plan

    We design the transfer equipment, conduit path, and any panel changes before installation day.

    3

    Permit

    Electrical permits are pulled for the generator connection and transfer equipment.

    4

    Install

    Wiring, transfer gear, and testing are completed so backup power is ready after inspection.
