Public Safety Power Shutoffs, wildfire season and winter storms make backup power a practical need in Santa Cruz. Phasethree Electric installs whole house standby generators, Generac and Kohler systems, automatic transfer switches and manual transfer switches with portable generator inlets for homes and small businesses in Santa Cruz and across Santa Cruz County.

Standby generator installation

We size the generator to your real loads, pour or set the pad, run the electrical connection to a transfer switch at your panel, coordinate the gas or propane connection, pull the permit and start up and test the unit. Automatic units start within seconds of an outage.

Portable generator inlets and manual transfer switches

If a full standby system is more than you need, a manual transfer switch and outdoor inlet lets you safely power selected circuits from a portable generator without extension cords through windows.

Generator service in Santa Cruz

We also service and repair existing generators, replace batteries, and add load management modules so a smaller unit can run more of the house. Call (833) 652-8933 for Santa Cruz and nearby Mount Hermon, Capitola, Soquel, Scotts Valley.
