"Mr. Electric responded promptly, showed up at my convenience and thoroughly inspected my needs before giving me an extremely reasonable quote. My service person was Elijah, who was so very competent, professional and courteous. I felt totally comfortable having him in my home. He installed two electrical outlets outside my home and converted a motion sensor floodlight to a dusk to dawn one. He explained everything he was doing and made sure that I understood. I couldn't have asked for better service!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
