Hello, my name is Jose Miranda. I am a 16 year experienced electrician, 13 of those years I spent in new construction.

As Forman I kept all work on schedule, dealt with inspections, ordered material for 3 job sites, edited time cards, Etc. 3 years of the 16 I spent helping customers like yourself in bringing their ideas to life, such as remodeling, recessed light installations, ceiling fan installation, outlet installation, EV charger installation, exhaust fan installation, panel swap, Christmas lights installation, generator, transfer switch, deck lighting, etc. My main focus is customer service and quality work. All homes are treated as Id want my home to be treated. In doing so all shortcuts are avoided. All projects matter to my team and I, The biggest project is as important to us as the smallest. I promise competitive prices with the best quality, as well as 90 day warranty on anything we touch. Give us a try!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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. 

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
