Generator Installation in Bonney Lake: How CBR Electric Solved a Full, Outdated Panel
Full Electrical Panel With No Room for a Generator Disconnect
The homeowners needed a backup generator before storm season, but their electrical panel was outdated and completely full — no open slots for a generator disconnect. This is a common issue in older Bonney Lake homes, where panels were sized for the loads of decades ago.
"When the panel is outdated and full, sometimes we have to think outside the box to get the customer happy."
Sub-Panel Installation — Avoiding a Costly Full Panel Replacement
Brett walked the homeowners through three options — a full panel replacement, a sub-panel installation, or breaker reconfiguration — so they could choose the right balance of cost and scope. The sub-panel won: it added dedicated circuit space for the generator disconnect without the cost or timeline of ripping out the entire panel.
"I explain to them several different options… so they have different pricing options whichever way they go."
Christmas Eve Emergency: Heat & Power Restored During a Bonney Lake Outage
When this family lost power and heat on Christmas Eve, CBR Electric went out that night and got them running on a temporary generator disconnect. They came back later for a permanent solution — and that's when the project evolved. The husband is a pilot who works out of town, and his wife is home with a small child. After experiencing what it takes to manually start a generator during a storm — winds whipping, branches falling — they upgraded to a full automatic standby generator.
"The husband works out of town. He's a pilot and his wife has a small child, and the stress of having to set up a home standby is a lot more to deal with than the big automatic system."
Reliable Whole-Home Backup Power — No Stress, No Worry
What started as a panel problem became complete peace of mind — from no generator capacity to fully automatic backup power that kicks on without anyone stepping outside.
"They're just stress-free of not having to worry when the power's out."
