Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule a service with Jensen Electric, and what areas do you serve?
What size generator do I need for my home?
That depends on your power needs. We’ll evaluate your home’s electrical usage and recommend a Generac system that provides full-home or essential-circuit coverage without overspending.
How often does a standby generator need maintenance?
Most Generac systems need an annual service, including oil changes, filter replacement, and testing — just like your car. Regular maintenance keeps your warranty valid and ensures reliability during an outage.
What types of electrical services do you offer?
We handle everything from panel upgrades, outlet installations, and lighting projects to troubleshooting, rewiring, and EV charger installs — residential or light commercial.
How can I tell if my home’s electrical panel needs to be replaced?
If you notice flickering lights, tripped breakers, or outdated fuse boxes, it may be time for an upgrade. Our licensed electricians can inspect your system and recommend the safest, most efficient solution.
Does Jensen Electric install solar panels?
We offer full electrical support for solar systems — from installation to integration with your existing electrical setup — ensuring everything is safely wired and code-compliant.
Can I connect my solar panels to a backup generator?
Yes. We specialize in designing hybrid systems where solar and standby power work together seamlessly, giving you reliable, renewable energy day and night.
