Whole house standby generator installation in Loma Linda, California
A generator is only as good as its transfer switch and its sizing. Undersized units in San Bernardino County homes trip on the first AC start; oversized ones cost more to buy and run. We measure what you need to keep running, then specify from there.

Generator Installation across Loma Linda
We cover all of Loma Linda, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of Grand Terrace, Colton and San Bernardino.
Loma Linda sits in San Bernardino County, and the electrical work here reflects that mix: older housing stock that needs grounding, capacity and device upgrades, alongside newer construction that simply needs more circuits than it was built with. Crews route through the Inland Empire daily, so travel time to a call in Loma Linda is short.

Recent Loma Linda feedback
Generator sized properly, transfer switch installed, and they tested it under load. Ran the whole house through the last shutoff without us touching anything.
Greg H.Loma Linda, CACalled at 9:40 on a Sunday night with an outlet that had started smoking. Someone picked up, someone came, and it was made safe before midnight.
Dan K.Loma Linda, CAWe rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.
Ellen and Ray M.Loma Linda, CAGenerator Installation in Loma Linda — questions we get asked
Will a generator run my EV charger?
Technically yes, practically it is a poor use of fuel. Most owners exclude EV charging from the backed-up loads and keep the capacity for HVAC and refrigeration.
Do generators need permits in Loma Linda?
Standby generator installations involve electrical and often mechanical permits in California, plus setback and noise rules that vary by San Bernardino County jurisdiction. We handle the electrical permitting and flag local requirements early.
Can you install a transfer switch for a generator I already own?
Yes. For portable units, an interlock kit or a manual transfer switch is usually the right answer, and it is far cheaper than a standby install.
How often does a standby generator need service?
Plan on annual service and a monthly self-test, which most controllers run automatically. Oil, filters and battery are the usual wear items.
What size generator do I need in Loma Linda?
It depends on whether you want the whole house or essential circuits. Many Loma Linda homes are well served by a mid-size air-cooled unit with load management; all-electric homes with heat pumps and EVs need more. We run the calculation before quoting.
