After working for the family business for 25 years, I decided it was time to branch out on my own. Giving a product that my customers are proud of and can rely on was what my father taught me. I intend to keep it as the foundation of my company. We have a small but efficient team that keeps up with all the latest building codes and styles. The diverse knowledge of our staff allows us to do everything from lighting design to home theater, solar systems, and motor control panels. No job is too small or big. Give us a call today!

"Joe and his crew installed multiple different items at our house over the last couple years. -A generator transfer switch. -New can light fixtures. -Replaced all interior outlets. -Ran conduit on our back pergola for installed multiple outlets and a ceiling fan with a hard wired on/off switch. -Rewired our entire garage to bring it code compliant and safe. Joe and his crew were always polite, on time, answered the phone when we called and walked us through different options we had when unforeseen items came up. Joe brought our projects in on time and on budget. We will be using him for all our future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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. 

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. 

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
