Generator Installation service by PCG Climate in Pleasanton and East Bay

Generator Installation in Pleasanton & the East Bay

Power outages in the East Bay can last hours or days during severe weather, PSPS events, or grid failures. PCG Climate installs whole-home standby generators and transfer switches that automatically provide backup power when the grid goes down.

A whole-home generator connects to your natural gas line and starts automatically within seconds of a power outage. It powers your entire home or selected critical circuits depending on the generator size. We handle the complete installation including the generator pad, gas line connection, transfer switch installation, and all electrical connections. We also install manual transfer switches for portable generators as a more budget-friendly backup power option.
