Answer first
A Generac sticker online is not a complete standby-power project. Hurst designs the system, installs the generator and transfer equipment, completes the electrical work, and coordinates natural gas or LP — including propane-tank installation on approved rural projects.
01
Definition
What is this?
A one-stop Generac project covers load assessment, equipment selection, automatic transfer switch, fuel strategy, pad and clearances, permits, startup, commissioning, and a maintenance path — owned by one accountable contractor.
02
When to use
When does this apply?
Use this when comparing a box-store generator to a dealer install, planning whole-home or managed-load backup, or asking whether Hurst covers both gas and electrical scopes.
03
Failure modes
What goes wrong?
Buying equipment before load and fuel math. Splitting electrical and gas across vendors with no project owner. Assuming every city is a same-day repair market when generator work may use Zone G feasibility rules.
04
Proof
Why trust this guidance?
Hurst Electric & Plumbing is a certified Generac dealer and installer based in Danville since 1946. Free on-site consultations; annual Generac service program available on the maintenance plans page.

Action
What should you do next?
Request a free Generac consultation — call or use the contact form. We document loads, fuel path, and options before you purchase hardware, and can talk through monthly payment options on qualifying packages.
The project sequence matters: site visit, load/layout review, estimate, permit and utility coordination, installation, inspection, commissioning, customer walkthrough, and maintenance enrollment.
Lexington generator work sits in our specialty-project lane — planned installs and replacements, not routine same-day electrical troubleshooting.
Pair this guide with natural-gas vs LP, rural propane packages, and the standby generator service page when you are ready to book.

Questions homeowners ask
FAQ
Are you a certified Generac dealer?
Yes. Hurst is a certified Generac dealer and installer. Dealer tier numbers and co-op asset libraries are tracked internally — we do not invent public certification IDs on the website.
Do you install both natural gas and LP systems?
Yes, subject to fuel availability and site conditions. LP projects can include propane-tank sizing and placement for approved generator scopes.
Is generator territory wider than everyday repair?
Often yes. Generator consultations and major installs may reach an extended Zone G radius when the market meets density and feasibility checks — confirmed address-by-address before quoting.
