"I recently had a whole-house generator installed by Nick and his crew. I must say it was a pleasure dealing with this company, from the office staff to the installers. Everyone was so accommodating and mindful of my concerns and requests. The parts and tools they brought took up half of my back yard but at completion of the job, which took a full day, everything was removed and all my planters and other things were put back as before. A very seamless operation indeed. I would not hesitate to recommend LT generators."

"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

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
