"I hired Baughn Electric when we relocated our Zoo-phonics business to Sonora and needed new electrical , Ethernet, and phone wiring done. Seriously, he did an outstanding job and was a pleasure to work with. Since then, I hired Baughn Electric to do all the electrical on my parent's house addition, install security cameras at my home, and wire our new addition at Safari Preschool. Every time I have used Baughn Electric he has been on time, finished early, friendly and conscientious, and been fair with his prices."

"Exceptional service and communication. All aspects of the generator install were flawless. The office communicated all phases perfectly and executed the plan as scheduled. The installation team was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and diligent. The team of 3 installers worked like a well oiled machine, keeping the installation moving forward and completing the install in a timely fashion. Once completed, they went over the operation of the generator in a clear and easily understandable step by step instructions. The grounds were left clean, prior to departure. Short Circuit is an excellently run operation."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.
