What is that guy doing to your new whole house standby generator?
You can relax, that's Brady.
And he's commissioning your new generator.
What Does It Mean to “Commission” a Generator?
Remember the process it took to get to this point?
You started with a consultation, which led to a quote, which led to a purchase, then an installation, and now that all of that is done, commissioning is the final step to turn a completed installation into a ready to run backup power system.
Think of it as the generator’s official “first day on the job.”
After the generator is installed, connected, and inspected, our technician will follow a thorough and detailed startup process to make sure everything is working as it should.
This is where the peace of mind kicks in.
Commissioning a whole home backup generator will typically include checking and verifying:
Generator’s controls and settings,
Battery condition and state of charge,
Fuel supply and pressure,
Electrical connections,
Automatic transfer switch operation,
Startup and shutdown sequence
Safety systems and alerts
Exercise schedule (Yes, a good generator needs regular exercise)
Remote monitoring, when included
Overall performance under test conditions
The goal is simple: when the power goes out, the generator knows what to do.
⚡A properly prepared and commissioned home generator should detect the outage, start automatically, transfer power safely, and help keep your home safe, comfortable, and running until utility power is restored.
At Lakeland Generator Service, commissioning is where careful installation meets the real world. We check, test, verify, and document the system so you can have confidence before the next storm, outage, or surprise Florida afternoon thunderstorm rolls through.
Peace of mind. It's a good thing.
