Backup power
Generator installation and repair in Sheridan
Generator installation is the electrical job Sheridan residents search for most. A generator keeps the furnace, well pump, sump pump and refrigerator running when the grid goes down.
A standby generator starts on its own and switches over through an automatic transfer switch. A portable generator connects through an outdoor inlet and a manual transfer switch or panel interlock.
Generator repair covers units that will not start, will not transfer or shut down under load. An electrician tests the transfer switch, the wiring and the controls. Engine problems may need a generator service technician.
Generator safety rules
- Never plug a generator into a wall outlet. It can back-feed the power lines.
- Use a transfer switch or an approved interlock.
- Run portable units outside, away from doors and windows.
- Put a carbon monoxide alarm on every level of the home.

Bigger loads
EV charger circuits and panel upgrades in Sheridan
EV charger installation and panel upgrades are the next most searched jobs in Sheridan. Both depend on how much capacity the panel and service have left.
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the charger. An electrician runs a load calculation first. If the panel is full or the service is small, a panel upgrade may come before the charger.
The same calculation applies to a standby generator, a hot tub or a shop. Planning all of them at once avoids paying for the same panel work twice. See new circuit installation in Sheridan for dedicated circuits.
Ask the electrician for
- A written load calculation
- The breaker size and wire size for the new circuit
- Whether a panel upgrade is needed and why
- Who handles the utility disconnect, if one is needed
