Philadelphia Generator Services
Licensed Electrical Contractor & Certified Third-Party Inspection Agency
A-1 Electric provides generator installation and repair, as well as independent generator inspection services, for residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Philadelphia. We hold two credentials most firms don’t: a licensed electrical contracting certification and a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania agency number certificate recognizing us as a certified third-party inspection and underwriting agency, trusted by PECO. That means you can hire us to install your generator or to independently inspect a generator another contractor installed. Ready to get started? Reach out today to discuss your needs and schedule a service as soon as possible.

Why Philadelphia Properties Need Backup Power
Severe storms, high winds, and extended outages are a recurring reality for Philadelphia-area property owners. When the grid goes down for hours or days, the impact reaches well beyond inconvenience. Heating and cooling systems shut off, refrigerated food spoils, home security systems go dark, and anyone who depends on powered medical equipment faces a genuine safety risk.
Commercial and industrial properties face additional exposure: halted operations, spoiled inventory, and disabled access controls. A whole-facility standby generator activates automatically when an outage begins, without requiring anyone to be on-site to switch it on. It connects to the property’s natural gas line or a propane tank and supplies continuous power until the grid recovers. Portable generators offer temporary relief for essential items but require manual starting and refueling, and they don’t cover an entire facility.
Before inspections were legally required, our founder was already calling in underwriters to verify his own work. That standard has never changed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need an Electrical Inspection After Generator Repair?
It depends on the scope of work. Repairs involving the transfer switch, panel wiring, or electrical reconnection typically require a licensed electrician and may trigger an inspection before your utility restores power. An accredited third-party agency like A-1 Electric can perform that inspection, but not on the same project where we performed the repair work. Contact us, and we can help clarify what your situation requires.
What Generator Problems Require a Licensed Electrician Rather than a General Repair Technician?
Any work on the transfer switch, wiring between the generator and the main panel, voltage systems, or panel integration falls within the licensed electrician's scope under applicable electrical codes.
General repair technicians aren’t qualified for this work, and unlicensed repairs can void warranties and create liability. A-1 Electric’s team consists entirely of certified master electricians.
Does A-1 Electric Repair Commercial & Industrial Generators?
Yes. We serve residential, commercial, and industrial clients throughout Philadelphia. Commercial and industrial generators carry higher-capacity demands and more complex electrical integration than residential standby units, and our certified master electricians are licensed and experienced across all three project categories.
