"James, the owner came out for me on a Saturday after my power was restored, but only to half of my house. Within minutes he found it was the GFI in my bathroom that would not reset causing the rest of the house not to come on. Could not be happier with the service."

"Steve did two projects for us. A month ago he replaced an attic fan and this week he changed the electrical panel inside the house, the main power box outside and installed a new grounding system. He coordinated all permits with the city and PG&E (who also replaced the electrical wire to the house). The job was done efficiently and all work was of very high quality. (Will update my review after Steve's final inspection.) The price seemed competitive - electricians are expensive! Based on our experience so far we can give Steve a very high recommendation."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
