"Robert reaches out immediately once I inquired about the generator. He steered me in the right direction, provided the product, and did the install! My client was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend this company and Robert."

"Had to have a ceiling fan and light replaced; also light switches needed rearranging as well as a stacked switch installed. I called Power Surgez and spoke with Kenny (very kind and professional) on December 2nd around noon, and to my surprise, Kenny immediately assigned 2 electricians to come to my home early the following day (December 3, 2024). They completed all the work in approximately 2 hours. I love that Kenny not only dispatched his workers to my home, but he also communicated with me regularly. The 2 young men (John and Camden) who came to do the work were very polite, friendly and respectful. They were very attentive to what I needed done and patiently explained and answered my questions. They thoroughly cleaned up and left my house as they found it. I give Power Surgez, 5 stars along with the highest recommendation. I will definitely be calling Power Surgez for any future needs. Thank You for a Job Well Done."

"Very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and on time--they did a visit to see what the project entailed, then came back with parts to do the job. Steve explained everything to me and offered a couple of options to connect power. I will definitely call him first when I have the next project and would recommend his company to anyone needing electrical help."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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. 

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
