Benefits of Backup Power in Colorado Springs
Considering whether a whole-house Generac generator is right for your Colorado Springs home? Here are the key advantages:
- Climate Protection: Maintain heating during winter storms and cooling during summer heatwaves, preventing dangerous temperature extremes in your home.
- Pipe Protection: Colorado’s freezing temperatures can cause pipes to burst during power outages. A generator keeps your heating system operational, preventing costly water damage repairs.
- Basement Safety: Ensure sump pumps continue working during heavy rain or snowmelt, protecting your basement from flooding and water damage.
- Food Preservation: Keep refrigerators and freezers running during extended outages, preventing hundreds of dollars in food spoilage.
- Home Security: Maintain security systems, cameras, and exterior lighting during blackouts, reducing vulnerability when electrical service is compromised.
- Medical Necessity: Provide uninterrupted power for essential medical equipment like CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, or medication refrigeration, eliminating life-threatening disruptions.

Frequently Asked Generator Questions
How long do Generac generators typically last in Colorado Springs?
With proper maintenance, Generac generators installed in Colorado Springs typically last 20-25 years. Our region’s climate actually offers advantages for generator longevity—our lower humidity levels reduce corrosion concerns compared to coastal areas. Regular professional maintenance from Basset Heating & Air Conditioning can maximize your generator’s service life, protecting your investment while ensuring reliable backup power for decades.
What size Generac generator do I need for my Colorado Springs home?
The right generator size depends on your specific power needs. Most Colorado Springs homes require 16-22kW generators for whole-house coverage. Smaller homes focusing on essential circuits might use 10-14kW models. Larger properties with additional power demands may need 24-48kW systems. During your free consultation, our Basset technicians will perform a detailed load calculation considering your square footage, appliances, and specific needs to recommend the perfect Generac generator size.
How quickly will my generator turn on during a power outage?
Generac whole-house generators detect utility power loss automatically and typically begin providing backup power within 10-30 seconds. This rapid response prevents disruption to essential systems and electronics in your Colorado Springs home. The transfer is so seamless that you might not notice anything beyond a brief flicker of lights before your generator takes over powering your home.
What maintenance does my Generac generator require?
Your Colorado Springs generator requires regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation. This includes quarterly visual inspections, annual oil changes, filter replacements, battery testing, and system diagnostics. Basset Heating & Air Conditioning offers comprehensive maintenance plans tailored to Colorado’s specific climate conditions, ensuring your generator starts instantly when needed and operates efficiently throughout any power outage.
How noisy are Generac home generators?
Modern Generac generators operate at approximately 60-65 decibels during normal operation—about the noise level of a normal conversation or window air conditioner. Colorado Springs building codes regulate generator noise levels, and all Generac models we install comply with these requirements. Additionally, we carefully position generators to minimize sound impact on both your home and neighboring properties.
What’s the installation process like for a Generac generator in Colorado Springs?
The installation process begins with a free in-home assessment where we evaluate your electrical needs. Once you select the appropriate Generac model, our team handles permitting requirements with Colorado Springs utilities and planning departments. The physical installation typically takes 1-2 days, including concrete pad preparation, generator placement, transfer switch installation, gas line connection, and electrical integration. We conclude with thorough testing and a complete walkthrough of your new system.
Generator Maintenance in Colorado Springs
Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring your Generac generator performs flawlessly when you need it most. At Basset Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer comprehensive maintenance services to maximize your generator’s reliability and extend its operational lifespan.
Colorado’s extreme temperature variations make professional maintenance particularly important for generator systems. Our technicians understand how local conditions affect generator performance and adjust maintenance protocols accordingly.
