"We recently had M & E S Construction Engineering Inc renovate multiple rooms in our house, and I can’t say enough good things about them. The biggest project was our kitchen, which my wife had been dreaming about updating for years. It was cramped, outdated, and just didn’t work for us. From the start, the team was amazing. They helped us plan everything out, knocked down a wall to open up the space, and completely redesigned the layout. The new cabinets, countertops, and lighting made a huge difference, and the island they installed is now the centerpiece of our home. The first time my wife saw the finished kitchen, she was almost in tears—she finally got the space she always wanted. They also did work on our bathrooms, fixing some plumbing issues and giving them a modern update. Throughout the whole process, the team was professional, always on time, and super easy to work with. They made sure every detail was perfect, and it really shows in the final result."

Generator Install questions, 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. 

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.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
