Generac Certified Installer
Standby-generator installation from site planning through startup.
Landmark coordinates the electrical installation, automatic transfer equipment, load plan, permits and commissioning for the approved Generac system. Fuel capacity, clearances, equipment availability and the final model remain property-specific.

Flexible payment options
Financing is available for qualifying electrical projects.
Landmark works with independent finance companies to offer qualified customers a range of payment-plan options. Review the available providers and continue through the provider you choose.
Size the system from the loads that matter during an outage
Generator planning begins with the homeowner's priorities: essential heating, sump or well equipment, refrigeration, lighting, selected receptacles, communications and other loads needed during an outage. Larger objectives may include air conditioning, electric appliances or broader whole-home coverage.
Nameplate information, motor-starting requirements, simultaneous operation and load-management capability affect the result. Landmark's online calculator creates a planning range; it does not replace the site evaluation, electrical load review, fuel verification or manufacturer requirements used for the final selection.
- Essential-load and expanded-home backup planning
- Electrical service and panel review
- Motor-starting and simultaneous-load considerations
- Automatic transfer and compatible load management
- Practical generator-capacity range before final equipment selection
Plan the site, transfer equipment and fuel delivery together
The generator location must account for manufacturer clearances, exhaust, openings, property constraints, service access, mounting and the route to electrical and fuel connections. The transfer equipment must match the service configuration and the intended load-control strategy.
Natural-gas or LP delivery must support the selected generator at the required pressure and demand. Gas-meter, regulator or piping changes are not assumed electrical work; the appropriate licensed trade verifies and completes those items when needed.
Installation, permits, startup and owner orientation
The written scope identifies the generator and transfer equipment, electrical connection, control wiring, grounding and bonding, permit and inspection responsibility, fuel coordination, startup sequence, testing and customer responsibilities. Utility or municipal requirements may affect schedule and final configuration.
After the approved installation is ready, the system is started, checked and returned to automatic operation. The owner receives basic operating and shutdown guidance; ongoing Mobile Link service, dealer monitoring or specialized programming is included only when written into the proposal.
Codes and standards that apply
These references explain the framework for this work. The adopted code, Michigan amendments, local authority, utility rules, equipment listings and manufacturer instructions must be considered together for the actual installation.
Frequently asked questions
How does Landmark determine the correct generator size?
Landmark reviews the loads you want to support, nameplate information, motor starting, simultaneous demand, electrical service, transfer equipment, load management and fuel delivery. The final size is not selected from square footage alone.
Does the generator proposal include gas work?
Only when expressly stated. Landmark defines the electrical and generator scope; gas-meter, regulator and piping work may require a separately identified licensed trade.
Will the generator automatically power every circuit?
That depends on the approved design. Some systems support selected loads; others use service-rated transfer equipment and load management. The proposal identifies the intended coverage and transfer method.
Technical review
Reviewed by Landmark Electric
This service information was reviewed for scope, safety context and accuracy by Landmark Electric, Inc., Michigan Electrical Contractor License #6114673.

What your service visit includes
Your $79 dispatch and evaluation charge covers sending an electrical professional to your property and the initial on-site evaluation. During that evaluation, the electrician examines the relevant accessible system, shows or explains the supported findings and identifies the cause when the available evidence reasonably allows. Clear, flat-rate options are presented before approved work begins, and the charge is waived when you proceed with approved work during the visit. Any special access, extended diagnosis, permit or after-hours considerations are explained before work moves forward.
