We Handle Everything For You!
Step 1: Your Personalized Consultation
Every home is different. That’s why we begin with a custom, in-person assessment.
We’ll walk your property, review your power needs, and ask the right questions:
- What would you like to power: everything, or just essentials?
- Are you using natural gas or propane?
- Where would you prefer the generator to be placed?
- Do you have pool systems, elevators, or special circuits?
From here, we build a load calculation and recommend the right Kohler model—tailored to your
lifestyle and square footage.
“We treat every home as unique because every family has different priorities during an outage.”
— Verdegy
Step 2: Permits and Paperwork—Handled
This is where many homeowners breathe a sigh of relief: Verdegy handles all the permits for you.
We coordinate with:
- Your local city or municipality for building and electrical permits
- Your utility provider for gas or electric inspections
- HOAs, when needed, to ensure compliance with neighborhood design rules
Whether you’re in Highland Park, Frisco, or Uptown, we’ve worked with local ordinances before—and we do it all without delay on our part. We can’t always speak about the speed of the permit office.
Step 3: Site Preparation
Once permits are secured, we prepare your property for installation.
This includes:
- Concrete or composite pad installation (level and flood-resistant)
- Wiring conduit and trenching, if needed
- Coordinating fuel line access with your gas provider
- Verifying spacing and airflow for safety and manufacturer compliance
Most pads are positioned discreetly on the side of the home—close to your electrical panel but designed to blend with landscaping or architectural lines. We can also add privacy areas for added curb appeal or to keep your generator discreet.
Step 4: Installation Day
Most installations take 1 to 2 days, depending on the scope of work.
Here’s what typically happens:
- Delivery and positioning of the generator unit
- Electrical connections to your home’s panel and automatic transfer switch (ATS)
- Fuel line installation (natural gas or propane)
- Final inspections and code checks
- System testing and startup
Our crews are licensed, insured, and experienced with high-end properties. We work cleanly, respectfully, and aim to minimize disturbance to your schedule or surroundings.
Step 5: System Testing and Homeowner Walkthrough
We don’t just flip a switch and leave.
We:
- Simulate a power outage to verify automatic start and transfer
- Test voltage, load capacity, and fuel pressure
- Program your generator’s weekly self-check schedule
- Show you how to monitor your system remotely via mobile app
- Walk through everything you need to know—operation, alerts, and maintenance
We stay until your questions are answered—and your home is fully protected.
Step 6: Post-Installation Support
Every Verdegy install comes with:
- One-year labor warranty
- Kohler factory warranty (up to 10 years available)
- Optional maintenance plans for annual service and performance checks
- Emergency support from our local, Dallas based team
We also offer remote monitoring options, so we can spot issues before they become problems—and handle them for you.
