"Ken Doyle and his crew installed a 24kw Generac NG generator at our home. It was in and done within a week of accepting the contract. They took care of all the electrical and extended the gas line with no issues. Went super smooth, an excellent job. Would hire them again. I wish all jobs went this easy! Thanks Ken and crew!"

"Hegge sent someone out to survey the electrical usage at the house and described the complete process.  This included doing the survey, pulling the permit, getting the charger from Tesla, and doing the installation.  Once the job was inspected, they came back and closed up the electrical box and turned on the breakers.  They showed up when they said they were, they did the work and finished on time.  I paid the original estimate.  I would highly recommend Hegge.

"Very well-nice to see a crew enjoy themselves while working. Had an issue with humming from new installation and the crew came back out immediately and switched out the lights. They do not repair holes needed for new installation but have a great guy to refer you too- Pleased with the efficiency and quality of work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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

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. 

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
