Why Kliemann Brothers

Kliemann Brothers has been providing high-end solutions to Tacoma-area homeowners since 1998. You can trust our trained technicians for generator installation and any type of generator service you need, including maintenance and repair.

A whole-house generator connects to your home’s circuits via the main electrical panel. It constantly monitors the power flow and triggers automatically during an outage. It also shuts off when utility power is restored.

At Kliemann Brothers, we use an electrical load calculation to find the right-sized generator for your home. We work with leading brands like Generac. Whether you need a pro for installation, repair, or maintenance, you can trust our licensed, trained, and experienced team to get it right.

Generator Installation

Installing a home backup generator isn’t a weekend DIY project. You need an experienced professional to determine where to place one, prepare the site, and connect wiring and fuel lines. Also, a generator must be a safe distance from windows or doors and placed on stable ground.

The installation process requires obtaining permits, complying with building codes, and finding the right type and size of system. A large house may need up to 25,000 kilowatts of power. We also install the transfer switch, which connects and disconnects your home from the utility grid.

We replace backup generators as well. Signs it’s time to replace your system include:

  • Frequent repairs to equipment.
  • Flickering lights when running the generator.
  • The generator doesn’t stay on.
  • Power drops during operation.
  • The unit is 20 to 30 years old.
  • Rust, fuel leaks, or visible damage.

Generator Maintenance and Repair

Depending on the model and usage, you need generator service once or twice a year. We offer maintenance plans to ensure a proper service schedule. Regular generator service ensures the system works reliably with no hidden safety concerns.

Trained to work with all major brands, our technicians check and refill fluids, inspect fuel lines, change spark plugs, and test components. They can also diagnose issues and perform repairs so the next outage won’t reveal a generator failure.

Contact Kliemann Brothers if there’s any sign your whole-home generator isn’t working properly, including:

  • Slow or hard starting
  • Transfer switch problems
  • Fuel delivery issues
  • Error codes or warning lights
  • Loud noises
  • Fuel or oil leaks
  • Unstable power output
  • Oil, coolant, or exhaust odors

Benefits of a Whole-House Generator

A generator provides automatic backup power directly through your electrical panel. When you have one installed, during an outage:

  • The lights stay on.
  • Safety is maintained.
  • Home security systems stay active.
  • Food stays fresh.
  • Computers and devices stay online.
  • Charging stations are still available.
  • HVAC systems continue operating.
  • Sump pumps can prevent flooding.
  • Medical equipment continues running.
  • Manual refueling is not necessary.

Contact us today to schedule your whole-house generator consultation, whether you’re considering purchasing one or your current system needs maintenance or a repair.

Reviews From Our Customers

“Josh was prompt, efficient, and knowledgeable. He explained everything well and was a nice and pleasant person throughout. Because he is so knowledgeable and trustworthy, we are scheduling maintenance on our generator with him.”
Doc S.
“The two technicians (and one electrician) were very professional and efficient. They made sure they didn’t disturb our house, other than what was needed, and cleaned up after themselves. They walked me through all of the changes and answered all of my questions with the knowledge I was looking for. I would recommend them over and over again.”
Lindsey C.
“Very good communication from Tami throughout the procedure and the install process. Technicians were very professional and very courteous, and I was very pleased with the end result; can't be happier. I would highly recommend this company for any HVAC, generator work, etc.”
