"Mark at MW electric was outstanding. He took a difficult challenge and did a super great job installing a new transfer switch to my house electrical panel, which will allow me to hook up a generator and run my house if there is an electrical outage. I couldn't be happier, and he is great to work with and reasonable. I will hire him again."

"Robert did an amazing job installing several 3-way Leviton WiFi smart switches in the stairwell of my home. He was very professional, detail oriented with the install, and did a great job sharing the info with me on how he set things up! The work areas were all cleaned up and he took his time to make sure everything was pristine. I definitely recommend Robert if you’re looking to have any electrical work done. Thank you!"

"They were very responsive. The owner of the company was here the day after we called to inquire, and we liked his answers to all of our questions. We made an immediate decision to hire them to install a 'stand-by' generator. First, the delivery of the generator was amazingly fast and then the installation was done promptly and professionally. There were enough people here to complete the installation. Within a few days a stucco repair man was here to patch the necessary holes. All-in-all, the overall service, responsiveness and professionalism were of the highest standards. I highly recommend Mr. Ariel Kahane and his crew of ADI Electrical Services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

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.
