"Easy, easy, easy......... First, I loved the security of getting everything needed from one company. From choosing the right generator to itâ s installation and clean up, they did it all, from start to finish. I am one happy customer. I absolutely, 100% recommend them. Whatâ s more, just four hours after they left, our city had a blackout in a multiple block area. Our generator started up right on time and ran for about 3 hours. I canâ t tell you the relief we felt, (especially having air -conditioning), when it happened. Talk about timing. ð Thanks to Robert, Darrell and the crew at A-lectric. Without a doubt, you guys are the best of the best. ð ð »"

"Schedule was great - electrician came and checked what we wanted done - advised us on choice of light and showed back up on time and finished the job quickly and cleaned up everything. Could not have been more happy with everything. Would definitely call them again."

Generator Install FAQs, 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. 

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

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.
