What we do
What Standby Generator Installation in Indianapolis Involves
Every generator project is different, but the work breaks into the same set of steps we run on every Indianapolis site.
Load Study and Sizing
We measure what the building actually draws, then size the generator to carry the loads you name instead of guessing from square footage.
Learn moreTransfer Switch Installation
Automatic transfer switches, service entrance rated gear and manual switches, wired, programmed and tested so the changeover happens without anyone walking to a panel.
Learn morePad, Conduit and Feeders
Concrete pad layout, underground conduit, feeder pulls and grounding, coordinated with your site work so the generator lands where it will not block operations.
Learn moreEmergency and Standby Separation
Life safety, legally required standby and optional standby loads belong on separate systems. We lay the panels and feeders out the way NEC Article 700 expects.
Learn morePermits and Coordination
We pull the electrical permit, coordinate with the gas or fuel contractor and the utility, and schedule inspection so commissioning is not held up.
Learn moreStartup and Service
We are on site for factory startup and load testing, then handle the service calls, breaker work and panel changes the generator feeds after it goes live.

Why Facility Managers Call LED Indy for Standby Power
Generator installation sits inside our electrical division, not beside it. The same licensed crew that walks your building is the crew that does the work, and lighting and low voltage are in house if the job turns out to touch them.
Commercial Only
We do not run house calls. Every crew, truck and stocked part is set up for commercial buildings and commercial gear.
Indianapolis Owned
Indianapolis owned and operated, so the same people who quoted the job are the ones who answer when it matters.
Licensed and Insured
Licensed and insured electricians, with the permit and inspection paperwork handled by us instead of landing on your desk.

Lighting, electrical, and data and low voltage under a single roof, so generator work does not stall waiting on another trade.
We Work Around Your Building
Nights, weekends, shutdowns and school breaks. We agree the access and outage windows with you before the generator installation work starts, so your tenants and your production schedule are not the ones absorbing it.

FAQ
Commercial Generator Installation Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most, so you can plan with confidence.
How long does a commercial generator installation take?
Most of the schedule is equipment lead time, not labor. Once the generator and transfer switch arrive, the pad, conduit, feeders and switch work usually run in a matter of days on a typical Indianapolis site, followed by inspection and factory startup. We give you a dated schedule at quote so you can plan the shutdown window around it.
What drives the cost of a standby generator installation?
Size is the biggest driver, and size comes from the loads you choose to back up. After that it is fuel type, how far the generator sits from the service, whether the transfer switch is service entrance rated, site work for the pad, and whether the existing panels can be split into emergency and standby sections without a full rebuild.
Do I need a permit for a commercial generator in Indianapolis?
Yes. Commercial generator work needs an electrical permit and an inspection, and gas or fuel piping is permitted separately. We pull the electrical permit, build the job to the code the inspector will check, and meet them on site. You do not have to chase the paperwork or schedule the visit yourself.
Can you install a generator without shutting the building down?
Usually most of it, yes. Pad work, conduit, feeder pulls and mounting the transfer switch all happen while you keep operating. The tie in at the service is the part that needs power off, and that window is short. We schedule it for a night or a weekend so your crew never loses a working shift.
Who maintains and tests the generator after it is installed?
We can, and a standby generator does need regular exercise and testing to be worth having. After factory startup we walk your team through the run schedule, then service the set on a cycle you pick: load testing, transfer switch operation, battery, fuel and connection checks, with a written record of each visit. You can also keep that with your own maintenance vendor.
Real results. Real relationships.
