When a spring storm knocks out power on the east bench or a summer heatwave overloads the grid, a standby generator keeps the lights, HVAC, and critical appliances running. For Provo homeowners, generator installation is not just a luxury—it is the key to year-round comfort and safety. CountBricks brings unmatched residential construction expertise, AI-powered estimating, and Utah-specific code knowledge to every project.
Complete Design–Build Approach
• We evaluate load requirements, fuel source options, and site constraints in a single on-site visit.
• Our AI estimate generator produces a transparent, line-item proposal—labor, materials, and permit fees—before we leave your driveway.
• Dedicated project managers coordinate excavation, electrical, and gas trades for seamless scheduling.
Local Code & Utility Expertise
• Provo City permits require specific setbacks and noise ratings; CountBricks handles the paperwork for you.
• We liaise with Dominion Energy and Rocky Mountain Power to schedule safe gas and panel tie-ins.
• Our team follows NFPA 37 and IEEE 446 guidelines to protect your family and property.
Traditional bid processes can stretch into weeks, forcing homeowners to juggle multiple contractors and conflicting line items. CountBricks compresses the timetable to hours with the following workflow:
1. Voice conversation: You outline needs, square footage, and priorities to our estimator via phone or web chat.
2. Real-time blueprint takeoff: We import your existing plan set or satellite measurements directly into the CountBricks platform.
3. Instant material database: The software cross-references Provo-area supply pricing for concrete pads, copper wire, and natural-gas piping.
4. AI cost modeling: Labor productivity factors and current fuel prices are auto-applied to create an accurate, ready-to-sign quote.
5. PDF & e-signature: A polished document branded for CountBricks arrives in your inbox for digital approval.
Oversizing wastes money; undersizing risks tripped breakers. CountBricks engineers use a proven formula:
• List critical circuits—furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, modem, lighting.
• Add motor start-up kVA to continuous running loads.
• Apply a 20 % safety margin for seasonal usage spikes.
The result: a generator that engages automatically, powers essentials, and keeps fuel consumption efficient.
Natural Gas
• Taps into Dominion Energy’s existing line—no refills.
• Clean-burning, quiet, and ideal for most subdivisions.
Propane
• Great for outlying areas without gas mains.
• Higher energy density but requires on-site tank monitoring.
Diesel
• Suited to larger estates or accessory dwellings needing high surge capacity.
• Greater maintenance; fuel stabilizer recommended in Utah winters.
1. Site assessment and load study.
2. Permit submission with Provo Building Department.
3. Pad excavation and reinforced concrete pour.
4. Delivery and anchoring of the generator set.
5. Electrical service upgrade and automatic transfer switch installation.
6. Gas or propane line trenching, pressure test, and connection.
7. Startup, load bank test, and homeowner orientation.
CountBricks offers subscription service packages to keep your system at peak readiness:
• Biannual inspections aligned with manufacturer warranty requirements.
• Oil, filter, and spark-plug replacements scheduled before heavy-load seasons.
• Remote monitoring to alert our technicians of any fault codes in real time.
• Install carbon-monoxide detectors near sleeping areas when adding any combustion device.
• Ask CountBricks about load-shedding ATS panels to prioritize essentials and trim generator size.
• In high-snow zones, request a raised composite pad to prevent drift blockage of the exhaust.
• Schedule test runs during off-peak utility hours to avoid nuisance demand charges.
• Bundle generator service with CountBricks HVAC tune-ups to maximize savings.
Utah’s energy resilience programs occasionally offer rebates for standby generators paired with smart transfer switches. CountBricks tracks local incentives and files paperwork on your behalf. Flexible financing through our partner credit union spreads cost over manageable monthly payments.

In March, a late-season wet snowstorm left more than 1,800 Lakeview Heights residents without power for 14 hours. One CountBricks client, the Ramirez family, had recently commissioned a 22 kW natural-gas generator through our Provo office.
Project Highlights
• AI estimate delivered 40 minutes after the initial call, cutting a typical two-week bidding cycle.
• Permit approved in three business days thanks to CountBricks-prepared load calculations and noise data sheets.
• Installation completed in a single eight-hour shift—excavation, gas tie-in, and ATS wiring—saving the client from a two-day hotel stay during the storm.
Results
When the grid failed, the Ramirez generator auto-started within nine seconds, powering the furnace, refrigerator, Internet, and medical equipment without interruption. Fuel usage averaged only 0.9 therms per hour, lower than the regional benchmark because CountBricks sized the unit precisely.
1. CountBricks voice interface captured appliance loads, square footage, and future expansion plans.
2. Real-time pricing pulled updated copper and pad material costs from our Provo supplier database.
3. The platform generated a Gantt chart timeline, allowing the family to coordinate landscaping work around the installation.
• Early coordination with the utility shortened approval windows and avoided costly meter relocations.
• Placing the generator on the prevailing-wind side of the house reduced exhaust smell inside patio areas.
• Integrating an LTE monitoring module helped CountBricks technicians clear a low-oil alert remotely, eliminating a service call fee.
CountBricks has installed more than 120 standby systems along the Wasatch Front. Whether you need a compact 12 kW unit for a starter home or a three-phase diesel solution for a hillside estate, our design-build team delivers.
