Right Choice Automotive Repair was created by licensed and certified automotive technicians to help you maintain and repair your car or light truck in a way that you can trust that you can understand, and is more affordable! There is more than one option here in Fairbanks for you to have your vehicle serviced and repaired, however, few of those choices offer the combination of over 25 years experience repairing and maintaining cars and light trucks, certified technicians, a good repair facility, prompt response to your needs, and affordable rates. We have loved ones of our own and the thought of them having to walk when it's thirty below or being overcharged for a simple repair is not the way we would have them be treated. We prefer to view all of our customers this way because they are all sons and daughters, aunts and uncles, moms and dads, and grandparents and treating them badly is just not an option for us!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
