Santa Barbara Generators

Across Mission Hills, Santa Barbara Generators focuses on whole house generators that keep entire homes powered through outages without anyone needing to be present. A permanent standby unit sits on its own pad outside the house, runs on natural gas or propane, and connects to the panel through an automatic transfer switch. When grid power drops, the switch disconnects the home from the utility, starts the engine and shifts the circuits over in about ten to thirty seconds, then switches back automatically once utility service returns. Mission Hills is an unincorporated residential community near Lompoc, close to La Purisima Mission State Historic Park, and permits for generator work there go through Santa Barbara County. Each unit is matched to a real load calculation that accounts for well pumps, air conditioning and motor starting current instead of square footage, so it does not drop the load when big motors start at once. Related services include commercial generators and generator repair. Service also reaches Gaviota, New Cuyama and Ellwood in Goleta.
