Overview

Cellino Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric completed a full standby generator installation for a Lancaster single-family home. The project included setting and leveling a stone base, securing a new generator pad, and mounting the generator in place. We installed a transfer switch and ran all required electrical wiring through conduit, including dedicated wiring for the battery charger.

 

A new gas line was installed from the meter, complete with a drip leg and shutoff valve, while service panel wiring was updated with separated grounds, new ground bars, and properly bonded connections. The gas line was also grounded for added safety. Once all work was finished, the system was fully tested to ensure reliable operation, leaving the homeowner with a dependable backup power solution.

Challenge

Installing a standby generator in an existing home requires careful planning and coordination to ensure both electrical and gas connections meet strict safety standards. The project’s main challenges included routing the gas line safely from the meter, running electrical wiring through conduit, updating the service panel, and grounding all systems properly.

 

Cellino’s team carefully sequenced the installation, coordinating pad setup, generator mounting, electrical connections, and gas line integration to ensure a safe, reliable, and fully operational system without disruption to the home.
