03Won't transfer to backup when the power drops
04Annual maintenance / oil change due
05Existing unit too small to run the AC + well pump
06New build or home addition needs standby power
07Generator runs but house stays dark (ATS issue)
08Gas pressure too low to keep it running
09Power goes out every storm and they're tired of losing food / sump pump flooding
10Medical equipment that can't lose power

Maria speaks generator installation

She can tell a transfer switch from a load shed, knows what exercise cycle and utility drop mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off service entrance or kW. So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re wiring a transfer switch, she’s booking installs.
