What is Turnkey Generator Installation?
Turnkey generator installation refers to a comprehensive service where Modernize Power acts as your General Contractor (GC), managing every aspect of your emergency power project from start to finish.
This means we handle the entire process: from initial consultation and design to permitting, procurement, site preparation, installation, electrical hookup, load testing, and final commissioning.
The client receives a "ready-to-operate" solution, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple contractors or navigate complex regulatory requirements themselves. It’s the ultimate "set it and forget it" approach for critical power infrastructure.
why Backup power?
Why Turnkey Installation Matters for Your Business: Solving Complex Power Challenges
For commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities, securing reliable backup power is a multifaceted endeavor. Without a cohesive, expertly managed approach, projects can quickly become bogged down by:
Juggling multiple contractors (electricians, civil engineers, general laborers, fuel suppliers) leads to miscommunication and delays.
California, especially with agencies like HCAI for healthcare facilities, has some of the most stringent permitting and inspection processes for power systems. Missteps can cause costly rework and significant project delays.
Lack of integrated planning often results in unexpected expenses from design flaws, incorrect equipment sizing, or compliance failures.
Prolonged installations can impact your daily business, leading to lost revenue or compromised services.
Modernize Power's turnkey approach eliminates these pain points. We provide a single point of accountability, a team well-versed in complex regulatory environments, and a streamlined process designed to deliver your power solution efficiently and precisely, minimizing disruption and maximizing long-term reliability.

FAQs
We Have Answers, For Your Questions!
For Modernize Power, "turnkey" means we handle every single aspect of your power project from initial concept to a fully operational, compliant system. You won't need to coordinate separate electricians, civil engineers, or permitting specialists – we are your sole point of contact and General Contractor, delivering a ready-to-use solution.
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, generator size, site complexity, and permitting requirements. Our preliminary consultation includes a detailed timeline estimate, and our expert project management minimizes delays. Simple installations might take weeks, while complex HCAI projects can span several months, not including design, engineering, and permitting.
We manage all necessary permits, including local building permits, electrical permits, fire safety permits, and crucially, all regulatory approvals from HCAI (California Health Care Access and Information) for healthcare and skilled nursing facilities. We also assist with air quality permits (e.g., from the relevant Air Quality Management District) if required.
Our process begins with a comprehensive load analysis, where we meticulously assess your facility's critical loads and energy consumption patterns. This detailed engineering ensures your generator is perfectly sized for optimal efficiency and to meet all your power demands without over- or under-sizing.
Yes, our design and engineering team specializes in seamlessly integrating new generator systems with your existing electrical infrastructure, ensuring compatibility and minimizing disruption during installation.
We are certified installers for all leading generator manufacturers, including Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and Caterpillar. We help you select the best brand and model to suit your specific needs and budget.
