Generator Installation
Star City installs permanent standby generators for Lincoln-area homes and businesses. We help select the appropriate generator capacity, plan the equipment location, connect the system through an automatic transfer switch, and test the completed installation. A standby generator detects an outage and automatically restores power, even when no one is home.
Generator Replacement
An aging generator may become less dependable, require increasingly frequent repairs, or lack the capacity to support your current electrical needs. Star City can replace outdated standby generators and update related electrical equipment when necessary. We’ll inspect the existing setup and determine which components can remain and which should be replaced with the new unit.
Generator Repair
Call Star City when your generator won’t start, stops unexpectedly, displays a warning, fails a self-test, or doesn’t transfer power correctly during an outage. Our technicians troubleshoot batteries, breakers, electrical connections, filters, spark plugs, fuel-related concerns, and other common sources of standby generator failure. Annual maintenance is also available to help identify problems before the next power outage.
Generac Generator Installation & Repair in Lincoln, NE
Star City provides Generac generator installation and service throughout the Greater Lincoln area. Generac home standby generators connect to the property’s electrical system through an automatic transfer switch. When utility service is interrupted, the system detects an outage, starts automatically, and supplies power to the circuits included in the installation plan. Once utility power returns, the generator shuts down and returns to standby mode.
Available Generac standby capacities can support anything from a group of essential circuits to broad whole-home coverage. Depending on the selected unit and electrical load, backup power may be used for heating and cooling equipment, refrigerators, sump pumps, lighting, garage doors, kitchen appliances, and other important systems. Star City’s Generac-certified technicians specialize in air-cooled standby equipment and can also provide ongoing service through the Generators Club.
Types of Backup Generators
Home Standby Generators
A home standby generator is permanently installed outside and connected to the electrical system through an automatic transfer switch. It starts without manual setup when utility power is lost and can support selected circuits or a larger portion of hte home. Most residential standby generators operate on natural gas or liquid propane.
Portable Generators
Portable generators are manually positioned, started, fueled, and connected when backup power is needed. Larger models can operate several appliances or selected home circuits when used with properly installed transfer equipment. Portable generators must remain outdoors and safely away from doors, windows, and other openings while operating.
Inverter Generators
Inverter generators are portable units commonly used for smaller power demands. They are generally suited to electronics, lighting, refrigerators, recreational use, and a limited number of essential appliances rather than automatic whole-home backup. Their compact format can make them useful when portability matters more than maximum output.
Battery Backup & Solar-Compatible Power Stations
Portable power stations store electricity in rechargeable batteries instead of producing it with a combustion engine. Depending on their capacity, they can run electronics, lights, refrigerators, sump pumps, and other smaller loads without fuel or engine exhaust. Some models can be recharged through household power, a vehicle connection, or compatible solar panels.
What Kind of Generator Do I Need for My Home?
Start by deciding what must continue running during an outage. Keeping a refrigerator, sump pump, lights, and several outlets powered requires less capacity than operating central air conditioning, electric heat, cooking equipment, laundry appliances, and most household circuits at the same time. Generator sizing must account for both normal running wattage and the additional power some equipment needs when it starts. Correct generator size should always be confirmed through an on-site load assessment.
