No one likes when they lose power. Luckily, there are solutions that help you avoid power loss during outages. These solutions are called generators. Generators will take over powering your household or business when there’s a blackout, so you can avoid getting caught in the dark. There are many options for generators that you can choose from to fit your needs. Luckily, our team at Pioneer Generators can walk you through the process. We do generator installation in Knoxville, TN as well as replacement and repair services to keep you running no matter what.

When it comes to Knoxville generator installation, there are a few different generator types you might consider. Here’s some more information about the top generator types we install at Pioneer Generators.
Whole house generators are the gold standard of generators. They turn on automatically when power goes out, so you don’t have to worry about fumbling around in the dark to dig out your generator and get it set up. Your whole house will be powered, so it’ll be as if you’re not experiencing a power outage, at all. You can use your appliances and electronics as normal. They can be fueled by natural gas, propane, or diesel. We can assist with the first two fuel sources at Pioneer Generators.
Select circuit generators are smaller permanent generators that can be installed on your property. They power only select circuits, as the name suggests, that you can choose. While it doesn’t power your whole house, you’ll be able to prioritize which circuits and appliances will get power during an outage. You can always add circuits to your select circuit generator in the future if you realize you need more power during outages. They are a more affordable option and easier to install than a standby generator that powers the whole building.
If you already have a generator, you may wonder why you should consider generator replacement. Here are a few reasons that generator replacement might be your best option:

As with any appliance, sometimes something can go wrong with your generator.

Below we’ve outlined some helpful indicators that you should consider getting your generator repaired.
When you’re the proud owner of a generator in Knoxville, TN, that comes with a certain level of maintenance. Generators have a long lifespan that can last from 20-40 years, but that’s only if they are properly kept with regular maintenance. Maintenance can also unveil potential issues with your generator and fix them before they’ve started to become a costlier headache. Getting your generator maintained at least once a year, but you may need more frequent maintenance if your generator is being used heavily.
It depends on the generator type as well as the size you need and the complexity of the electrical work. Portable generators are the lowest-cost option and select circuit generators fall in the middle while whole house standby systems are the largest investment.
It depends on whether you want to power your entire home or just essential circuits. A whole house system is sized to your home’s total electrical load while a select circuit system is sized around the specific items you choose, like your refrigerator, furnace, well pump, and a few outlets.
Most standby generator installations take one to three days on site once the equipment arrives and permits are approved. The timeline depends on the fuel line run, the electrical work needed, and whether a concrete pad has to be poured. Portable generators with a transfer switch can often be handled in a single visit.
Permanent standby and select circuit generators generally require electrical permits, and gas line work may require additional permitting and inspection. We handle the permitting process as part of the installation so the system is code-compliant and properly inspected.
Yes. A standby generator monitors your utility power and starts automatically within seconds of an outage, then shuts down once utility power is restored. You don’t need to be home for it to work.
A natural gas standby generator can run for days as long as the gas supply holds. Propane and diesel units are limited by tank size. Portable generators need to be refueled manually and should be shut down periodically to cool and check oil.
